James 5:16 calls us to “confess your sins to one another and pray for one another.” This is just one of the many “one another” commands in the NT. Paul Tripp writes that commands like this show that God intends the church to be “an intensely intrusive, Christ-centered, grace-driven, redemptive community, where I’ve invited you to intrude in on my life.” Kent Hughes observes, “Sin drives Christians apart and produces a hellish individualism—a deadening autonomy. But confession to a fellow brother or sister destroys this deadly autonomy. It pulls down the barrier of hypocrisy and allows the free flow of grace in the community.” John MacArthur reminds us, “Sin is most dangerous to an isolated believer. Sin seeks to remain private and secret, but God wants it exposed and dealt with in the loving fellowship of other believers.” What a gift God has given us in local churches.

Below is some of the feedback from broadcasters we've received just this past week. We encourage you to contact them and tell them that you saw them here!
Mike Rodgers, Faith Baptist Tabernacle www.sermonaudio.com/fbt"We are a small church but have had some people contact us throughout the years because of being on SermonAudio. One man from Australia wrote us to let us know that he was not walking with God but he heard one of our sermons on the site. God convicted his heart and he turned to the Lord. The Lord later called him into evangelistic work. We have heard from him a couple of times since then. We praise God for the impact of His Word through a site like yours."
Deanna Dyck, Fairfax Baptist Temple www.sermonaudio.com/fbtministries"“I really enjoy your site. It’s easy to upload sermons. I listen to sermons that I miss when I am serving elsewhere during the worship service. I love your app and use it regularly! Thanks for all you do.”"
Dr. Curt D. Daniel, Faith Bible Church www.sermonaudio.com/faithbible"I regularly remind our people to listen to SermonAudio and share with them that there are many excellent preachers on the site! As I travel to other parts of the country and people tell me they love good preaching, I encourage them to look at SermonAudio and they will find a lot of great preaching there. I appreciate the standards of orthodoxy that you have that ensure there are solid speakers. I certainly thank you for all you are doing!"
We would encourage you to read through more testimonials we've received over the years from both listeners and broadcasters alike.
