Great sermon! A wonderful sermon on the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ. I have much respect that you give an example of a failing, how many times have I and do I get distracted by some ridiculous thing rather than focusing on Him. But hearing Jesus prayer for His own gives such a blessed assurance even though I fail so often. Thank you and praise Almighty God.ðŸ™
Wonderful sermon Thank you for such clear Bible teaching it was so encouraging.
I had never heard the statement that if Jesus came to save the world as so many preach then that made Him a failure. Really it does come to that if that is what they believe rather than what Scripture teaches: He came for His elect.
What a blessing this message is.
Great sermon Many thanks for this second part on Jesus' prayer in John 17. I have much to examine myself in and there is a lot to digest in this message not the least being " are my prayers for God's glory?". Truly I pray they are, and not just what I want.ðŸ™â¤ï¸ðŸ‡¦ðŸ‡º
THANK YOU! Pastor Mark, you say at the end of this that it is a simple message. I think many times it is the simple message that is the most profound This has been so helpful and it is challenging also. "Prayer necessitates effort and desire" Wonderful words.â¤ï¸ðŸ‡¦ðŸ‡º
Deepest thanks I am relistening to this wonderful sermon an it has encouraged and helped me so very much. I fall so short but my heart is so full with gratitude for God's grace .
Beyond free will and predestination. About post below:
It seems that Arminianism goes beyond the issue of free will versus predestination, as the gospel is preached as if man is totally in charge. However, it is of God to will and to do according to his grace.
Great Sermon! Very thorough, well thought through. I was looking for the root of the problem and Wow! you are only 5.21 miles from Powerscourt where it all started. I see how you relate Arminianism to dispensationalism but that's not true in USA. The dispensationalists I know are mostly Calvinistic gap theorists from DTS or Moody Bible. Chuck Smith, Dave Hunt, Hal Lindsay, John Hagee. Not a drop of Arminianism in those boys. Scofield was a lawyer, and Moody didn't choose between free will and predestination.
Wonderful! This clear teaching is such a blessing as it is Scripture explaining Scripture. It is so exciting to understand God's Word as it should be understood. I can't thank you enough for helping me with this.â¤ï¸
Mighty sermon! I can't express how helpful this is for me. Thank you so much dear Pastor in bringing clear exposition of the Scripture relying only on what the Bible passages say. I have a lot more to listen to that's for sure. The outstanding point that helps me to understand these texts regarding Jews and Gentiles especially with others views on the Jews and end times is : God NEVER changes. His elect are His elect whether He or Gentile and all is by faith alone in Christ alne
A timely reminder Thank you for this reminder to continue always in prayer, I am continually learning to bring everything the Lord in prayer, especially the little things, realising that He as my heavenly Father is interested in the minutest detail of my life and concerns, not just the big things. He truly careth for me.ðŸ™â¤ï¸
