In 1979, Virgil R. Lee and his family moved to the Dawson Street United Methodist Church in Thomasville, Georgia, where he would serve as pastor. The church newsletter that was mailed was printed on plain white bond paper, which meant the front page was blank. The author determined he'd use the space not for some kind of advertisement or promotion but to say something inspiring and encouraging. With that thought in mind, he wrote the first article, thinking about "little sermons that I have seen" - and from 1979 to 1993, he wrote an article every week under that topic with only an occasional exception. After 1993, when he became district superintendent of the Americus District of the United Methodist Church, he began writing his messages monthly to coincide with the newsletter publication schedule of the district. You'll enjoy the author's thoughtful meditations and God-given wisdom on a variety of topics in Little Sermons That I Have Seen.
