“ Amen, God’s Children are Beloved of the Father ” Thank you for such an edifying sermon, dear Brother Tom. Your words reminded me of the 1991 Kevin Costner film “Robin Hood”. A scene in which Robin at last confronts the bike Nottingham Sheriff who wields the sword of Robin’s slain father. To this, Robin contends boldly “I shall never fear my father’s sword”. Amen indeed for the child of God declares the same for His wrath and justice have been satisfied in Christ’s sacrifice. For the unregenerate sinner, God’s sword stands ready to mete out due punishment but for the saved Christian, that sword has become a guiding rod and staff from the Faithful Shepherd. John 3:36 ; Romans 8:32
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you for that and thank you for your faithfulness to the church in Kingsport and thank you for your faithfulness to the church in Pike County and most of all thank you for your faithfulness to the Word. We can be faithful because of His faithfulness.
“ Great Sermon! ” Sing praises to our God! Songs and sermons like this that sing the praises of our King are a great blessing to the hearts of those who love Him by the grace and power of God. The hymn "Praise Him! Praise Him! comes to mind:
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer. Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song!
“ Great Sermon! ” So True. Christ is All, PERIOD. All in salvation, all in creation, all in sustaining power of the universe. This universe would cease to exist if Christ withdrew His power from it. As John chapter one says, without Him nothing was made that was made. And in Acts it tells us that in Him we move and have our being. He holds our breath in His hand. Christ is God. He, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one God. One in mind, one in purpose, and one in Holy nature. We should not forget this and we should reverently worship God as God because He is God!
“ Great Sermon! ” Amen!!! Our lives are useless without Christ. In fact they are more than useless; they are sinful and destructive. Only in Christ do we have worth. And through Him we are priceless jewels!!! Not only is He our life, but without Him we have no life. Amen!!!
“ Great Sermon! ” Excellent title for the sermon. Glorious Truth! I was there that day when Henry came to preach and Tom was with him. I am so thankful to God for giving Doug the desire to see the truth of God's grace to have a witness there in Pike County. Such a glorious thing! And I am thankful to Henry for eagerly desiring to take the opportunity to see the Truth of God's grace taught there. I am thankful for Gary Shepherd and Jim Byrd who both were faithful pastors to us there for a time. And I am thankful for Tom. Tom has been an amazing blessing for the church at Zebulon and has himself seen to it that others in other areas are blessed with a witness in there communities. I hope I get the opportunity to return at least for a visit someday, but for now I have a calling of my own. I pray the church in Zebulon continues to grow and to spread the Word. The two great commandments are to love the Lord with everything you have and to love others as you love yourself. There is not a better way of showing love for God and man then spreading the Word.
“ Bone crushing truth. ” Very powerful words that forced me into prayer and self examination of where I am in terms of the raw building blocks of salvation and knowledge of who the Lord Jesus Christ is to me. Very humbling. It brought me to repentance.
Great preaching. We need more that preach the Truth as it is in Christ, and proclaim the God of the bible..(not the God of our imaginations.) If you love our Lord or if you are seeking the Lord you will love this preacher.
“ Great Sermon! ” I just love to hear this man preach. His sermons are full of the Word and full of the Spirit and conviction. O may God give us more servants like him. A true servant of the Most High - Henry Mahan.
