Great Sermon! What a beautiful example Mary is to us! Rather than focusing on all the hardships and difficulties the virgin birth would cause her, she rejoiced in God and in the honor of being chosen by Him for a special purpose. Her focus was on God's glory, not on the cost to her. May we learn to rejoice in God and in His callings on our lives in the same way! I loved the story of Billy Bray, the converted tin miner with the joyful feet who had a testimony of praise to God always on his lips. Thomas Watson said, "It is a sin as well not to rejoice as not to repent." Shouldn't we be rejoicing at least as much in God's grace and forgiveness as we mourn over our sin and corruption? It is the joy of the Lord that is our strength.
Great Sermon! This message moved me to tears as I considered the depths of Christ's love for us. How much our Savior humbled Himself, not only in His last suffering and death, but throughout the whole of His earthly life, in order to become a merciful and faithful high priest to us! There is much encouragement here for anyone in affliction, to entrust ourselves wholly to Christ as the One able to heal our whole nature in whatever way is most for His glory and our good.
Great Sermon! This is one of the most beautiful sermons I've ever heard, full of truth and tender love for Christ. If His fruit is so sweet to us even here, what will heaven be? I want to sit under this Apple Tree forever! Thank you, Rev. Craig, for bringing Christ so near and magnifying His love and beauty. I'm recommending your sermons to my closest friends.
Great Sermon! Oh! If only we knew how blind we are! Blind to our sin, blind to our lost condition, and blind to the Saviour who alone can give us sight! If we knew how blind we are, we would cry out with all our might "Jesus, have mercy on me!"
Great Sermon! Do you have a heart hunger that wealth, position, amusements and even relationships haven't been able to satisfy? Come to the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone can satisfy the hungering, thirsting heart! "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him."(Psalm 34:8)
Great Sermon! Has the Lord torn at your heart and life, and smitten you for your sin? "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up." (Hosea 6:1)
Great blessing. This message touched my heart! What a forgiveness we have in Christ! What a high and blessed standard of Christian life! God help me to walk in it!
Great Sermon! The U.S., like Great Britain, is throwing away its Christian heritage, and is likewise coming under the judgment of God. We wish everyone in both nations would listen to and heed the warning given in this sermon!
Great Sermon! If you listen to this sermon and at the end you say you have been listening to Reverend Graeme Craig you have not understood the message. Faithful preaching is from Christ himself. We should listen to God’s Word rather than men.
Great Sermon! As Christians, we must decide upon which side of the river we will dwell: the side of whole-hearted commitment to Christ and His cause, or the side of complacency and compromise. Which side will we choose?
Wonderful Sermon! The glory of Jesus Christ is revealed to us in His transfiguration, recorded in Mark, Chapter 9. Look unto Him for salvation that you might know and enjoy Him in all His glory forever in heaven! Truly, He is all the glory of Heaven!
"The Bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face,
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace,
Not at the crown He gifteth,
But on His piercèd hand,
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land!"
Last Words, a poem inspired by the letters and last words of Samuel Rutherford.
Outstanding Sermon! What does Christ's sacrifice mean to you? The blood of Christ was shed for the remission of sin and it was done once and for all upon the cross at Calvary. What a glorious thing to think upon! May He bless you as you listen.
Wonderful Sermon! Are you seeking waters from broken cisterns? Is your heart empty and you are trying to fill it with something? Then hear the words of this sermon and the words of our most merciful God, COME! Come and believe the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and be filled with the waters of everlasting life!
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17
Great Sermon! Pastor Beers asks, "Now I wonder, friends, do you believe in the second coming of Christ? Are you living in the expectation of Christ's return?" For true Christian believers, Christ's return will be the glorious fulfillment of their all their desires, whereas for all others it will be the most dreadful fulfillment of all their fears. What will that day be for you?
Excellent Sermon! This is an honest and compassionate revelation of the true state of our hearts, and a free offer of Jesus Christ, who alone can save us from our corruption! If you love your soul, don't miss this sermon!
Outstanding Sermon! This is a moving explanation of the doctrine of sin. In the modern world we have done away with the idea of sin and this is to our eternal detriment! Pastor Beers provides the biblical answer to what sin is, how God views sin, and how we should view sin! May the Lord Jesus bless your listening to this wonderful message and bring you to the realization that your sin has condemned you before a holy and just God, and only in Jesus Christ can you be made new!
Filled with Useful Illustrations Enjoyed this sermon, a presentation of the importance of not simply knowing the facts of the Gospel but having faith in the Christ of the Gospel. The certainty of Christ as the Saviour is set forth here. Of particular note is the helpful use of illustrations Very useful to the listener.
"If you were to design and build a bridge of reinforced concrete to cross a river, 99% of that bridge was made of strong reinforced concrete, and a little bit at the end you just make of mud. Rotten wood or something like that. That little bit at the end would be a fatal flaw that would ruin the whole thing. That's what it's like to trust in Christ with something else attached. Even if it's a little bit. That's what Paul's saying here. It's Christ alone. And we know that. Have you learned that, that Christ alone can save? That's the basic [fact] of the Gospel. And until you see that, until you feel that, you will never come to Christ."
Great Sermon! Great principles here, applicable to more than just watching movies. I would beseech you who often apply the "meat sacrificed to idols" concept to entrtainment, especially Disney, that meat sacrificed to idols when eaten, went into the stomach and then out of the body. Entertainment goes into the eargate and the eyegate, which are portals into the soul, and therefore have the potential to spiritually defile. The Rev. Murray cited Psa 101:3 " I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I HATE the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." This should be our attitude and it is not enough that someone in the "Christian" media recommended we go watch this or that movie. I've gone with these recommendations in the past and to say that I was disappointed would be a severe understatement. At times I was downright shocked and realized that this was at best a waste of time and money. I implore especially certain brethren in my church, and you know who you are.
