The Long Road Home Ministry offers Scripture & Song presentations designed to serve the local church—whether during regularly scheduled Sunday morning, Sunday evening, or midweek services, or for retreats, revivals, sportsman’s banquets, special events, gatherings, and other ministry settings.
Presentations
Each presentation brings Scripture read and proclaimed together with live acoustic music in a single, unified message.
Robert Isaac Shaw’s firsthand testimony of salvation, wandering, surrender, and restoration—woven together with Scripture and live acoustic gospel music. Through the story of a life brought home, the presentation points to the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the need for a personal response to the Gospel.
Seasonal Presentation
Beginning with the first promise in Genesis, The Promised King follows the coming Messiah through Abraham, Judah, David, and the prophets to Bethlehem. Scripture, brief biblical exposition, and live acoustic gospel music trace the unfolding testimony of Scripture to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ—moving from expectation to incarnation and calling the listener to worship the Promised King.
The Scripture & Song format doesn’t fit neatly into a single category. It is part biblical exposition, part testimony, part sermon, and part musical presentation—bringing Scripture, teaching, personal testimony, and live acoustic gospel music together for one purpose: to glorify Jesus Christ, proclaim His Word, and call people to respond to Him.
Each presentation is built from and around the King James Bible. Scripture is not decoration around the message; it carries the weight of the presentation.
Guitar and plain acoustic arrangements, sung and played live. No tracks, no stage show, no production between the congregation and the Word.
Brief, honest teaching tied to the topic of the presentation, with testimony kept where it belongs—as a witness pointing to Christ.
Sunday morning, Sunday evening, midweek prayer meeting, or a Wednesday-night Bible study—as much at home there as at a retreat, revival, sportsman’s banquet, or special gathering.
The goal is to come alongside the work already being done, edify the church, and keep the attention on Christ and His Word.
Length, platform setup, and any technical needs are discussed directly with the pastor or service leader beforehand and kept as simple as the setting allows.
About & Purpose
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31
The Long Road Home Ministry grew out of the testimony behind its first presentation: salvation, wandering, surrender, and restoration—and from the conviction that the gifts God gives us are to be used in serving one another, as faithful stewards of His grace, so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.
That conviction gave new purpose to what God had already provided. Music, speaking, and testimony are not the point of the ministry; they are simply tools placed in service of something greater. Through Scripture & Song, the ministry seeks to point people to Jesus Christ and proclaim the authority and truth of His Word.
The Long Road Home Ministry exists to come alongside the local church in fellowship and service. It is connected with Carr Township Baptist Church under Pastor Alan Ball and operates under local-church accountability. Wherever the ministry is invited to serve, the aim remains the same: Scripture carrying the weight, Christ receiving the glory, and the church being strengthened.
