“ A most Instructive & Affecting Sermon ”
By God's providence, many years ago, the Lord placed a gracious soul, not unlike Naomi in my path, who whereupon learning I was a Roman Catholic, placed a Bible in my hands. I have often thought of our encounter in the context of this passage in Scripture. Even as Naomi was the instrument God used to desire REST for Ruth, so was it placed upon her heart to desire that for me as well.
As I listen to the general tenor of your preaching, I cannot but sense that same heartfelt desire for the souls over whom God has given you the charge and watch, as that of Paul's, so lovingly expressed for his Jewish brethren in the flesh in his letter to the Romans: “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.”(Rom.10:1) and to the Galatians when he wrote: “My little children,of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,”(Gal.4:19) Though I am not a member of your congregation, yet by God's grace, I am privileged to sit under your gospel ministry, and as such, the Lord has laid it upon my heart to express my gratitude for your tireless labours in the gospel and would have you know I “esteem you highly in love for your work's sake."(1 Thess 5:13)
I believe the Lord truly has in answer to your prayer given you the heart of a pastor! |

“ A most comforting & consoling sermon ”
“The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary;” Is. 50:4a
Indeed to you has this gift been given Pastor Pickett . . for this message was truly just that “word in season” for this weary pilgrim!
For our time of fellowship last evening, we listened to this sermon. Though in our household there is much by way of affliction because of chronic health problems, this comforting sermon was the very balm of Gilead prescribed by the Great Physician himself, suited to our peculiar condition and circumstances, in order to the reviving of our spirits, the cheering of our hearts, and the strengthening of our frail and feeble frames. (1 Pet. 1:7-9; II Cor. 4:17-18) As one diagnosed with cancer, and no stranger to affliction, this passage in Scripture must oft have comforted and consoled you as well!
Thank you again for showing us more of Christ in this text, as He is pre-figured in the earthly temples built by Moses in the wilderness and those built by Solomon and Zerubbabel in Jerusalem, the combined beauty of which is far and away eclipsed by the Lord of Glory himself! What a beautiful truth is conveyed here in shadows, pointing to the substance found only in Christ! |

“ Great Sermon! ”
This sermon has led me to realize how dreadful sin is. When you see against whom you have committed it, IT IS MORE DREADFUL. It produces hopelessness, not in God's mercy, but in self. HOPELESSNESS IN SELF WILL BE THE SURE EFFECT. I REALIZE the initial step in the life of a Christian, the initial step toward heaven by a pilgrim, what is it? IT IS DEATH. For how can I take the second step, faith in the Lord Jesus, if I never take this first step? How can I be a believer in redemption, if I am not first a believer in my bondage and my sins? And if I never mourn over sin in me, how can I ever come to rejoice in Christ Jesus? |

“ A Comforting Sermon ”
Pastor Pickett:
What a blessing this sermon was to my soul! Thank you for expounding upon this portion of Scripture, and so showing me the lovely portrait of Christ typified by the ark into which Noah and his family were bid to come in! The design;the door;the window; the pitch;the invitation. All of God.
I can well remember, in a time of great affliction through sickness . . when doubts, fears, uncertainties, anxieties seemed to be my portion, when this storm of life caused me much torment, distress and unrest, both in body and in soul. How often did my cry go up to God . ."What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."
Ps. 56:3) Though I confess initially I did not see it as such, over the course of the illness I realized that the Lord had ordained these things for my good, that through my sickness, and the seclusion it imposed upon me, he might "shut me in with Him", for it was then I clearly heard the "still small voice" inviting ME to come unto Christ, the ark of the Covenant into which by faith, I too have been embraced, and have truly have found rest for my weary soul!
Now in retrospect I can say with the psalmist . . .
"it is good for me that I have been afflicted;
Ps. 119:71a
I thank my God, that I like Noah, have found grace in the sight of God! |

“ An Edifying Sermon ”
Once again Pastor Pickett,
we bless our God for the access we have to your Gospel Ministry on SermonAudio, a ministry marked by "sound doctrine" and "wholesome words". We acknowledge we have much to learn of Christ, but with so gifted an Instructor in Christ as God has given us, we are confident that under your tuteledge, we will grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (Phil 1:6)
What a solemn thought indeed that out of Christ, our God is a consuming fire, but thanks be to God though we were dead trees upon whom the axe of God's wrath could have fallen, yet in His mercy, we are become "trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified." Is. 61:1-3
Christ, the very Tree of Life has been set in our midst, and in Him we are now rooted and being built up. (Col. 2:6-7)
We truly are amongst those whom the Lord calls "blessed."
Being conformed to His image . .
June & Ralph |

“ A Very Soul Searching Sermon ”
Pastor Pickett:
As you say, "true religion is not a light and frothy thing". Sadly though, many preachers by the levity in which they preach, do lead many to regard it as just that . . a light thing! Thanks be to God that the Spirit of God rests upon your preaching, and as such you treat these matters with the solemnity, seriousness, and sobriety with which they are to be considered.
I thank "My God" too for showing me the sinfulness of my sins and of my lost condition and fallen estate, but with that, in His time, graciously revealing His Son to me, whom I have indeed found to be my "hiding place."
Thank you for giving me a fresh reminder of the glorious nature of the deliverance God has wrought for me in salvation. Like David, I have experienced God's heavy hand upon me before I acknowledged and confessed my sins, and have been made sensible of my sins . . my inquities . . my transgressions, indeed have been made to feel tormented by them, grieved by them and sorrowful over them. Yet by grace I too have been brought to confess them, and can declare w/David:
"I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell." Psalm 86:12-13 |

“ A most solemn Sermon! ”
Pastor Pickett:
My husband and I wanted you to know how very blessed we were by this message. Your exposition of this verse in Amos was most instructive. I must say I had long puzzled over it in time past, but like a surgeon, you very precisely opened up the meaning of the text, and made it plain to both of us.
The solemnn and careful manner in which you deliver the message is most effective. Your repetition of the verse . . "Amos, what seest thou?" throughout the sermon, and the pauses you make thereafter, give the hearer time to thoughtfully reflect on both the verse and the explanation you give to it. It is most effective.
We found it especially encouraging as well to know that in this day when the spirit of Amaziah is very much abroad, that God, in His mercy, has been pleased to raise up a servant of the Lord like yourself, who in the spirit of Amos, and in accordance with God's plumbline, the Word of God, faithfully declares the burden of the Lord, that He would have "His people" hear!
We will make good use of this fresh means of grace that the Lord has availed us through your preaching.
"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
Jer. 3:15 |

“ Great Sermon! ”
Thank you for this wonderful sermon! Be sure to hear this one! Gospel Mission Books has been a wonderful blessing to me over the years. They have been faithful to the true gospel of God's wonderful sovereign grace
and everlasting love!...Jer. 31:3. |
