Astounding Sermon! What shall we say to these things? It is time for the people of God to rightfully lay down these truths and claim our inheritance before the wicked continue advancing their wicked agenda, and our children be led to the slaughter even more. The kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force in seasons of awareness.
May God bless his people with stedfastness.
Stirring Sermon! Truly a sermon that inclines our affections towards our Redeemer and the desires to be with God. Just his presence, no activity on His part, just his presence is settling. And Lord, please haste the day ...
Eye Opening Sermon! I mistakingly wrote "... hero behind the veil ... and her eyes to behold ... when it should have been ...'hearer' ... and ... 'their'.
I am so blessed to have you in my life and journey to meet our blessed Saviour.
Great Sermon! Thank you Pastor Holloway. You always take the hero behind the veil. May our God be glorified and may his son be praised for the work he has done. He has opened her eyes to behold his glory. Behind the veil.
Truly Amazing! Simply amazing! Not much more to say. Your sermons always assures me that God will bring me through.
God blessed me. May he also bless you and your hearers abundantly.
For the Redeemed This is honestly the best message I've heard preached on this scripture. And it is the message we need to hear much more often than we do. There is nothing traditional about it, but should become such particularly in these times that the unbelieving and ignorant set it aside as 'holy' and apart from the life we're called to live. I thank God for using you to speak to His people. May He bless you.
Great Sermon! This was an absolutely perfect message. Not just for Easter but for each time we gather. We have been resurrected with the Lord and our lives should reflect it. This is why I listen to you. You are doctrine is sound. And the spirit of the Word is in all of your sermons; converting the soul. May God raises up more like you Pastor Barrett. And may God bless you as much as he has blessed me. However I’ve been to many churches that have the wrong concept of Easter. Again thank you for your response.
Reply to Stephanie concerning Easter We do not acknowledge this as a holy day for if it was , the Scripture would tell us of a specific day such as April 4th or whatever day we were to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. This is the same as Christmas for we don’t look to December 25 as the day we all assemble to celebrate the birth of Christ. We acknowledge the first day of the week as a time the church is to assemble and we do so to honor the One that died and rose again and through this we, as Christians, acknowledge that through the Lord Jesus we were resurrected into newness of life.
The Christian honors the first day of the week as the beginning of a new week in recognition of our being raised from death to life because of the resurrection of Christ. We gather to worship and pay homage to the One that died and rose that first day of the week. If these days such as His resurrection and birth were to be marked on a calendar to recognize these events, the Lord would have given a specific date.Â
Hopefully this will clear up any misunderstanding that could have been perceived in the message on the resurrection.

Easter: Pagan?? Pastor Holloway, I love your teaching/preaching and I trust your input; not many others. So I come to you with this question not as a criticism. But why is this acknowledged as a holy day?
According to Vine - Easter: mistranslated "Easter" in Act 12:4, AV, denotes the Passover (RV). The phrase "after the Passover" signifies after the whole festival was at an end. The term "Easter" is not of Christian origin. It is another form of Astarte, one of the titles of the Chaldean goddess, the queen of heaven. The festival of Pasch held by Christians in post-apostolic times was a continuation of the Jewish feast, but was not instituted by Christ, nor was it connected with Lent. From this Pasch the pagan festival of "Easter" was quite distinct and was introduced into the apostate Western religion, as part of the attempt to adapt pagan festivals to Christianity.
Ideology, Today's Idol To not know you are sitting in a dead congregation before a manufactured jesus, a jesus of one's own making, a god that cannot communicate, cannot demand anything
of you, will not commend you, and cannot change anything is a warning to those who get tired of the manna from heaven. Its a warning to those who seek approval of man and acceptance by man.
May God raise up others like yourself who know the true and living God and also Jesus knows them.
God bless you abundantly, Barrett.
Great Sermon! Thank you once more for being a father to the household of faith. Many are teachers but do not care for the souls of the heater. God bless you my friend.
John 8:28 Thank you again brother Holloway. Knowing that our God and Saviour knows us is truly humbling. If he had no mercy toward us we would, I would, perish for sure. Being in his presence is so humbling that it takes his strength, and his alone, to make us stand. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Nothing in my hands I bring.
May God continue to bless the hearer. May he doubly bless you for drawing our focus upon the one lifted up at Calvary.
Efficacious Sermon! Sitting in the place of contentment can be a dark place. We must press on to maturity and into a practical resurrected life.
Thank you again, brother Holloway. May God continue to bless the hearer and doers of his word.
Great Sermon! I am very grateful that my friend asked me to listen to your sermon. I will be careful to what I am reading in the bible and will make sure that the Holy Spirit is invited to help me understand every word. I am not a Christian yet. Pray for me. People talk to me about being a Christian, but they don't want to become friends with certain people and that is not right. I don't want people to be my friends just because they look like me. I know people want to be loved and accepted and be treated with respect. I will listen to this sermon again. Thank you.
