“ Powerful Truths God’s People Need ” Thank you Brother Tom for such edifying and spiritually enriching, enlightening Gospel truth! This exposes the false works based and heretical counterfeit gospels of this darkened world that encourage “decisional regeneration” or even water baptism regeneration. The water won’t save you, your decision won’t save you, it’s Christ alone who can save you. Remember the thief on the cross who pleaded for mercy and to enter Christ’s kingdom. He was never water baptized, yet received grace from the Lord to repent and believe. As Bro. Tom highlights, Simon Magus too “believed” but not to repentance or a heart after God’s mercy; instead Simon believed only as the demons do—in the Almighty POWER of God. We are told this is what Simon truly desired, so his belief was not saving but self-serving, indeed Satanic. For was it not even Lucifer who also desired such unholy privilege and authority, to be “like the Most High” and place his sinful throne in direct opposition to God’s (Isaiah 14:13-14)? False gospels promote obedient works unto salvation, that we can earn the right to be born again which is a twisted lie. The true Gospel is that God saves His people by His Sovereign mercy and we are complete in Him, and true faith rests in that fact and acts in true love for God.
“ More Hidden Gems of God’s Wondrous Gospel ” Wow so edifying and powerful! I had never considered the difference between Cain and Abel’s sacrifices before God in the way Brother Tom highlights. Thank you brother for more light. An important point many of us may have missed is how God declared in Genesis 3:17 the ground was cursed for Adam’s transgression. Yet blind and willful Cain disregarded this and sought to impress the thrice-holy Lord with the filth of his efforts and toil and produce of the land. Abel on the other hand surely recalled how that God graciously covered the sinful condition of our first parents in Genesis 3:21 with skins, which many Bible commentators agree first were skins from a lamb and secondly that served as a type of the covering for sin that Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, would provide for His people’s sins. So Abel sought a covering from God as well by offering the lamb for he surely recognized God’s grace-filled provision in covering sin which Abel knew he could not do himself. Hallelujah!
“ Superb Gospel preaching ” Brother Tom’s ministry is richly blessed of God and always so grateful to hear his messages. Another question I normally think to ask those whose false man-centered gospel reeks of Universal Atonement is “Can the Father’s will be denied or frustrated?” and “Can Jesus, God’s eternal Son, ever fail to do what His Father commanded?” The Biblical answer to both is No. So the notion that anyone is in hell for whom Christ died should be completely nonsensical and unBiblical and contradicts all Christ said He came to accomplish. Matthew 1:21 reminds us Jesus WILL SAVE His people, not “will try” or “will do 99.9% of the saving and leave the rest to me and you”. No Christ will do it ALL for those chosen by God’s grace from eternity past all to the glory and praise of God the Father, Amen.
“ Great Sermon! ” I have thanked God many times for Pastor Mahan, and how this day I asked the Lord what was wrong with me, and He showed me. I never really knew how self-righteous I was until I heard this sermon. This is so freeing. Sadly, most Christians will never see how ugly their hearts are, so I believe this reinforces the sin of pride (which blinds men), to see their own self-righteousness.
I thank the Lord for showing me. This also reinforces why we are saved by grace, for if it is not of grace who then could be saved?
“ Incomplete Sermon ” Another one of Henry's great sermons. However, the sermon cuts off as he is speaking.
The topic is death of course. He goes into quite a bit of explanation regarding what the New Earth will be like and how we will look. Very informational. He brings together quite a bit of scripture in this sermon in order to help folks get a better understanding of what the elect can expect at the point of death.
Would like to have heard the whole sermon though.
“ Interesting Sermon ” For someone who isn't long for this earth, this particular sermon made me feel good. Henry never lets me down. He may not have as much insight as I would like for him to have sometimes, but he never lets me down in his sincerity & effort in preaching the true word of God.
The focal point of this sermon was that there are 3 types of death. They are 1. SPIRITUAL, 2. PHYSICAL, 3. ETERNAL. Henry also points out that all of these came as a result of Adam's fall. Henry also points out that God only created 1 man, not 2. Eve was taken from Adam, not created as Adam was.
There is much to be gleaned from this sermon. Different things depending on where you are in your own walk with God. With me, I am looking more for comfort in the leaving of this world. It's through Henry's preaching that I hear the voice of our Lord & am in fact comforted.
Do I always agree with everything that Henry says? No. But then I'm not supposed to. He's Henry and I am me. He sees things the way he does & I understand according to the understanding that God has given me. But, I look to Henry for understanding of God's word. It's his preaching
Scripture References - 1 Thessalonians 4:13, Romans 5:12, 17-19/7:24, 1 Corinthians 15:21, 35-39, 42; Genesis 3:6/5:5, Revelation 20:14, Luke 24:36, Matthew 22:2
“ Outstanding Sermon ” This is one of Henry's best sermons. He brings so much life to the Word of God. He speaks about death in a realistic manner without being insulting or intimidating. He speaks with authority.
Henry Mahan is one of the greatest preachers of all time.
“ Outstanding Sermon ” As always Henry preaches the BEST! You just don't get any better than Henry.
The subject is a hard one for most people. I don't care how you preach it. People have issues with death.
In this case, as he mentions, that if you are near death or expecting death, then these words will come as a comfort & they indeed do. Knowing that my time here on this earth is short, I draw comfort from Henry's sermons on death because he knows the word of God & preaches true.
How I wish I could have sat in his church & listened to him in person, but I thank God that He allowed me the privilege of hearing Henry preach His word. Thank you Lord Jesus.
