“ Revelation. ” A presentation of 4 aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit in man, followed by a discussion on 1 Cor. 2:6-9. The Gospel, the wisdom of God, is a mystery, hidden to unbelievers, but made known by revelation.
“ Great Sermon! ” A much needed sermon for all Christians, especially 'Christians' who have been deceived by the 'prosperity Gospel'. Pastor Colin Mercer fearlessly warns us that a 'trouble-free' life for the Christian is not the teaching of the Word of God. He also cites the examples of Joseph, Job and Peter from the Scriptures to show us that all God's children will have their share of trials. But then he offers the comforting Balm that God will never try any one of His children more than they are able to bear.
This was indeed a comforting 'word in season' for ME. This is a sermon that must be heard more than once to remind us that trials and testings are a part of our Christian life and we must not be surprised or shaken by them.
“ In God's power. ” A message on 1 Corinthians 1:30-2:5. A review of the doctrines of justification and sanctification (v. 30) and a study of Paul's method of preaching (v. 1-5).
“ EXCELLENT !! ” This is the best sermon that I've ever heard preached on election. It is put forth in plain terms with scriptural backing. As Pastor Mercer is careful to point out, election is not myth. It is God-breathed and in black and white for all to read. As the Scripture says, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated" (Romans 9:13; Malachi 1:1-3). It PLEASED GOD to show mercy to Jacob and not to Esau. No man deserves the grace of God, and we dare not call God unjust because He has withheld His grace from some and bestowed it upon others. He is Sovereign and is absolutely free to "elect to be saved" whomever He chooses. To reject the Sovereignty of God, is man expressing his own depravity and sinfulness.
“ Sigh! ” I enjoyed this sermon too.
I feel fed and satisfied.I'm loving my Saviour more and more everyday.
What a wonderful GOD we serve!
What a great inheritance we have in HIM.
What a wonderful privilege to be set apart for HIS glory.
My heart longs for HIM like never before.
sigh...
“ Sobering ” Broke my heart again listening to this. The older I get I have more questions than answers. Life is such a mystery. Makes me long for that day when I will see Jesus Christ face to face.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank GOD for the gracious knowledge shown in this beautiful sermon, it's my greatest need, purpose and passion and urgent desire to hear what my Creator ans sustainer of the universe has to say through the wonderful tachings of Dr. Barrett. It's always good to listen as I wilt and melt away as to how Great my SAVIOUR is. Thank you DR. Barrett. GOD bless you and your beautiful sermons. I take great Godly pleasure in listening again and again.
“ Great light of the Gospel. ” Salvation is not in good deeds, in the our merits or in the merits of the saints. Salvation is in Christ, in His merits. The doctrine of justification by faith preached by Luther in a world blinded by the theology of indulgences and human merits.
“ Church and state. ” Realistic and balanced view about the relation between Church and state and about the involvement in the world. The Gospel is the only power to change the world and the preaching of the Gospel must have political and social implications.
“ Christian speech. ” Concern for sound speech; content of the sound speech; courageous conviction. If we will gather God's Word in our heart and we will be taught by Him, this will be seen in our speech - we will speak God's Word. From the fullness of the heart speaks the mouth.
“ Great Sermon! ” this is exactly what i needed to hear, God give me a double portion to press on and through to a life of victory with you and for you; in Jesus Name
“ Following the commandements. ” The definition of living clean in an unclean world; the danger of living in an unclean world; the defense against going astray. Excellent sermon.
“ Great study. ” A presentation of the spiritual condition of Geneva at the beginning of the 18th Century, the influence of Rationalism, Unitarianism, romanticism and fanaticism. A presentation of the revival. The ways in which this second Reformation reaffirmed the Reformation of the 16th Century: it reaffirmed the doctrine of justification by faith, the sole authority of Scripture and the doctrine of assurance. Excellent study.
“ Great Sermon! ” After hearing this message I thank Our Lord for you one concern that made a lot os sence to me and I am ask if you can explain the statement more because it touch me and made a lot of sence.(Colossians 1:25 where you said the world need to hear preaching not sermons I agree and ask ifyou can explain the different again thank you for this message.
“ Excellent. ” So great salvation, because of the plan of salvation, the Person who accomplished it, the price paid, the power of forgiveness, the permanence of salvation; a foolish neglect; and a tragic destiny.
