“The difficult we will do immediately; the impossible may take us awhile longer.” With this slogan, battalions of courageous and hardworking men called Seabees followed combat units into newly conquered territories during World War II to build bridges barracks, roads, and landing strips.Have you ever felt as if everything in your life falls into either the difficult or the impossible? King Jehoshaphat’s response in 2 Chronicles 20 exemplifies what to do when find ourselves in such circumstances: PRAY!
God responds to Jehoshaphat’s prayer through a prophet who declares, “. . . Stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.” (2 Chronicles 20:17).
God doesn’t announce His deliverance in impossible situations through prophets anymore, but Paul reminds us, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)
Like Jehoshaphat, we can have hope because we know the Lord is with us. The Lord is with you in those sleepless nights. The Lord is with you in those pain-filled days. The Lord is with you as your unsaved loved one is slipping and you plead with God for his or her soul. The Lord is with you when you can't see through the tears and life seems unbearable.
The next morning Jehoshaphat tells the people, “Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” (2 Chronicles 20:20). So when you face an impossible situation, resolve to believe that God is with you and His promises are true!
The feedback we receive from broadcasters and listeners regarding the impact of SermonAudio reminds us that God’s promise regarding His Word is true: it will not return void. May this week’s feedback encourage you to be steadfast because the Lord is with you!
SermonAudio is proud to be a partner with FAME as we co-produce a weekly 'audio journal podcast' called Five Minutes of FAME taken from a first-person perspective. |

Encouraging broadcaster feedback..
Below is some of the feedback from broadcasters we've received just this past week. We encourage you to contact them and tell them that you saw them here!
| Mr. Rich Conant, Sovereign Grace Presbyterian Church www.sermonaudio.com/sovereigngracepca"SermonAudio provides an excellent service for churches. I use it a lot personally. We have never heard a complaint about the service. I think you all are doing a great job. We are very pleased with the impact of SermonAudio." |

| Lloyd Moore, Spriggs Road Presbyterian Church www.sermonaudio.com/spriggsroadpca"Our church is very satisfied with SermonAudio. I use it all the time to listen to messages. I enjoy the Charles Spurgeon audio feature. If I miss our pastor’s message on Sunday for some reason, I listen to it as I take my Monday morning walk. It is a wonderful tool for our church." |
| |
| Klass Veldman, Springford Reformed Church www.sermonaudio.com/src"We enjoy SermonAudio very much. I became familiar with this opportunity to upload sermons in my previous ministry in Grand Rapids and continued to use it now in Canada. It is a great resource for getting the gospel all around the world. It’s incredible that one can have an impact worldwide through this means. May God continue to bless this ministry." |
| |
| Pastor Steve Marquedant, Sovereign Grace Reformed Baptist Church www.sermonaudio.com/sgrbc"Through the reach of SermonAudio, several people listened to a few messages from our church, started attending our church, and have become part of our church family. Uploading the sermons requires very little effort, yet it is a great help to our people and a blessing to other listeners outside our fellowship. It is evident that you are tech savvy and innovative. Thank you for all you do. We are excited to see how God continues to use SermonAudio for the wide distribution of His Word." |
| |
| Pastor M. Earl McGuffey, Sugar Run Valley Baptist Church www.sermonaudio.com/srvbc"SermonAudio allows the ministry of our small church to reach around the world. Several of our missionaries access SermonAudio to listen to my messages. This site should be a great encouragement to pastors because it allows their preaching to echo far beyond their own church family on Sundays." |
| |
| Brent Baughman, Stanley Heights Baptist Church www.sermonaudio.com/stanleyheights"I promote SermonAudio in the pastoral administration class I teach at a small, local Bible college. I tell my students and others that any church can afford and should use SermonAudio. I am amazed at its global reach. I think it is a great tool. It opens up many ministry opportunities. It’s a wonderful resource for God’s people and to reach lost people. In addition to a place for sermon content, our church has been blessed by the Gospel of John which SermonAudio produces. We brought hundreds of these and still distribute them around Easter time in our community. They are beautifully done and we find that most people will accept this little book. I can’t say enough about the potential that SermonAudio presents. It’s a great opportunity every church needs to consider and utilize!" |
| |
| Pastor Gilpatric, Center Effingham Baptist Church www.sermonaudio.com/evgmgospel"Thanks SermonAudio for a great place to post sermons and to hear good preaching. It is a blessing to our church family and extends out outreach to the church family around the world. We are pleased to be a part of your expanding ministry." |
| |
| Jim Wetterlund, Suber Road Baptist Church www.sermonaudio.com/suber"I truly appreciate the ministry of Sermon Audio. As a listener it is easy to use on my iphone and I am able to listen to a wide variety of great speakers on Biblical topics and texts that I am studying. As a broadcaster this is an important tool in serving our congregation. It is such a help to be able to allow our people be able to keep up with our series in the Gospel of Mark. I am extremely grateful for this tool both personally and pastorally." |
