“ Great Sermon! ” I wish I had heard this sermon before I attended a house church! The pastor, we now have doubts he was actually a pastor, ruled over us with a heavy hand and if you raised any questions at all you ended up out and he would villify you to any who would listen. He got angry over money, and could be very intimidating. His real nature came out if he was questioned and it was very disturbing.
This sermon brought up so many good points about what is wrong with house churches, such as we need the oversights named in the Bible, elders, deacons, etc. Our "pastor" answered to no one. The church was in the Triangle area of North Carolina, but I am afraid to mention which city as I am afraid of this man.
I am glad we got out, and to anyone who is thinking of a house church, your experience may be better than mine, but I would recommend you listen to this sermon by Stephen Hamilton first.
“ Great Sermon! ” Good sermon. Thank you for your courage and zeal for warning about the recent visit of the antichrist pope or even mentioning it. There's not many real preachers like you out there who would dare mention it. It gets lonely telling the truth. Just ask Noah!
“ A Word Of Warning ” A word of warning to those who show partiality in terms of worldly possessions or attributes is well given here by Mr Hamilton. How foolish when God "hath chosen us" not because of our attributes but despite them. Well worth hearing and meditating on by all who claim Christ.
As a small aside, I'm glad to hear Mr Hamilton rightly ascribe the authorship of Hebrews to Paul.
“ All the information you need! ” Impossible to change your mind?
As an ex-drunkard I have never met a converted drunkard who is then into 'social' drinking for he never forgets the dangers of this drug even in its shortest measure and how easy it can abuse even in supposed moderation! Who can define 'moderation' with regards to today's alcoholic beverages that are a far cry from the bible versions? Just one drink can cause drunkeness for some and that is a plain fact.
I implore christian brethren and sisters to listen to this excellent message with first a prayerful heart and a teachable meek spirit. This warning though in small writing is that, by grace, it will probably change your mind forever-so take heed!
What you've said is spot on. I commend particularly the message on DVD or YouTube by Richard Bennett 'The Biblical Uncovering of The Pope and The Papacy. Romans 1 v 16
“ Great Sermon! ” Wonderful sermon! I pray many will come to learn of this glorious history of the Covenanting Church! Thank you for sharing this sermon with others.
“ Outstanding series! ” I highly recommend this series, which focuses on a doctrine not rarely heard these days, sin. Solid teaching on the sin nature is hard to come by, making this series important because it is very well done. The doctrine of sin is important because without believing in sin, there's no need for salvation because no one has done anything wrong. But a look at the world today shows that sin is real, and salvation is needed, and the only savior is Jesus Christ.
“ Their gobbledygook is online, too... ” This series on Mormonism has many quotes from the Mormons' own primary sources, which are online at http://scriptures.lds.org/en/ and the word gobbledygook really sums it up. I'd never read any of their material, and was surprised at how it's nothing but religious-sounding gibberish. No one could even compare it to the Bible. This series on the Mormons ought to be a wakeup call to anyone caught up in, or thinking about, those beliefs.
“ Informative series! ” This is a well-researched, informative series on Mormon beliefs. Many of the items I had never heard before. I recommend that Christians listen to this and be informed about this belief system. I also recommend Mormons listen to this and look up the references in Mormon materials and see for yourself if this is a belief you want to be part of.
“ Penetrating Sermon ” I listened to this sermon whilst being laid low with illness and not being able to attend the means of grace. God in His wisdom has allowed me to hear this sermon which is biblical, reformed and searching. I may not share fully the view given on the well meant offer of the gospel but both the exposition of the passage in question and the penetrating application provided have challenged and stirred me. I thank God that I heard this sermon and I encourage many including those who need challenged about the wordliness they face and the standard God requires to give this sermon their full attention.
“ Great Sermon! ” This really encouraged me as I was feeling somewhat downhearted about a project I am involved in. Thank you for sharing the Lord's love and concern about small things which come to fruition in His hands.
“ A Treasure on SermonAudio ” Hard to describe this series without using superlatives - it's a treasure on SermonAudio - an in-depth look at the Covenanting period. Christians should listen to this series to learn what Christians have endured in the past and what the faith meant to them. This past is becoming forgotten. It's humbling to see the price these Christians paid; and what their sacrifice has come to today.
“ Fantastic Sermon!!! ” This is a timely and OUTSTANDING message. I was immensely blessed by hearing this edifying, encouraging, and courageous sermon. If there was ever a message that today's church was in need of, it is this one! May God blessed this servant of God for taking on the "church growth" issue.
“ (The Real) Plain Truth! ” This series has the real "plain truth" - I had not heard the name of The Plain Truth magazine since I was a child in the 1980s - a local department store used to have a rack at the door - I did not know it was cult literature. Probably no one did. I didn't really know what it was.
