Here is a sample of her recent work.  Beth preaches regularly throughout the Hampton Roads, Virginia area, and, while most of the churches now offer livestream, not all archive their sermons.  Great Bridge Presbyterian, Beth's home church, archives both the traditional and contemporary services.  You will need to scroll in the video to find the actual sermon.
