Great Sermon! This message is helpful. Being a Christian business owner is challenging. Hearing you mention the Twin Cities and Owatonna made me smile. I practice chiropractic in Owatonna. Thanks again!
Great Sermon! There are many similarities of the Feast of Trumpets (for Israel) and the Rapture (catching away of the Church). However, I don't believe that the Feast of Trumpets is fulfilled in the Rapture of the Church.
********************
From Bible Study notes on the Feasts of Israel (Leviticus 23)---Jewish Awareness Ministries:
Trumpets (Rosh-HaShanah/Yom Teruah)
PROPHETIC: it speaks of Israel being re-gathered back to the land in preparation for judgment and receiving their Messiah. The Abrahamic covenant must be fulfilled before the final re-gathering of all Jews to the land.
MESSIANIC: it speaks of the Lamb of God, Revelation 6, pouring out the judgments of Revelation to prepare Israel for their day of repentance and salvation, Revelation 5:9, Jeremiah 30:11.
The representation of the Feast of Trumpets is the blowing of trumpets for the gathering of the people back to the land as a nation where God will save them from their enemies.
The rapture is a prophetic event for the church, not Israel, and thus, not the prophetic picture of this feast.
Great Sermon! One of the best messages I've heard on eternal security using His Word to define our salvation. More churches need this message. I would like a copy of the handout.
Great Sermon! I am so thrilled the Lord has led me to you sermons. I have been inspired, convicted, and assured.
Thank you for preaching the Word, and allowing the Lord to speak so clearly through you.
Encouraging message! Dear Pastor Monte, this is a very encouraging message. My Pastor preached a similar one this morning reminding us that God is still in control. Thank you for the little song: "Everything's alright in my Father's house.". It's a simple one to remember if you start feeling a little down. God bless you
Convicting Sermon! In my family, laziness on the part of some members has brought down all of us...even the industrious. A shameful and contemptible sin. Pastor Monte's sermon has energized me to fight hard against tendencies toward idleness.
Great Sermon! Dear pastor, this was a very informative message on Calvinism. thank you. Please don't think I'm being critical but I noticed that you made the same mistake that I made one time. You said the lion would lie down with the lamb. But the Bible actually says in Isaiah chapter 11 verse number 6 that the wolf will dwell with the lamb. Take care and God bless you
Great Sermon! Thank you for this sermon and thank you for being open about having depression. Many Christians I know make it seem like suffering from depression or taking medication is a sin. It gets swept under the rug. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.
Great Sermon! Thank you for the wonderful sermon. The ladies at my church are doing a study on bitterness. I have shared this because it tied in with our study. I have been listening to you for a few months and I get a lot out of your sermons. God bless you.
The Spirit Within You Excellent clarification on the indwelling Holy Spirit. Thank you pastor Monte for your boldness in preaching the truth of scripture.
