Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Hear this wonderful message from the great Book of Romans! 7/29/07 8:52 PM Jeff    • Add new comment Sermon: True Source Of Happiness - Romans 4:1-8 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ The Blessed Are Also The Deeply Happy ” This beautiful sermon reveals that we are forgiven by and through Christ's blood and righteous obedience. This deep forgiveness produces a deep joy or happiness. To me, the sermon points us to a level of happiness different from the "feel good" Christianity that is common throughout American Christendom. The church has become so event oriented that we are often stimulated to leave these worship events or evangelism events or women's conference events with a sense of buoyancy and optimism; yet, those feelings tend to ebb and flow with our circumstances. If I may put it this way: we become constantly attracted and re-attracted to Christ Jesus, but we are never anchored in Christ Jesus. The antidote is, as Pastor Doug brings out, is Christ Himself. As we groan under the enormity of our sins, we begin to magnify the wonderful gift of salvation. As we become increasingly aware of how much doom we deserve, we will become more grateful for the great forgiveness that comes from the throne of grace through Christ. I never tire hearing of Christ's forgiveness anymore than I tire of Christ Himself. As we listen to this sermon, including the good humored parts with everyday experiences to which we can all relate, we can be more grateful for the "new birth" and all it implies. 7/26/07 9:37 AM Mustard Gra    • Add new comment Sermon: Saved By Faith Alone! Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ A Powerful Series ” What a wonderful reminder of the supremacy of the gospel in our salvation. This entire series should be listened to over and over again! 7/8/07 4:14 PM Jeffrey    • Add new comment Sermon: This Is The Last Hour - 1 John 2:18-29 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Beware of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing ” This sermon alerts us to the false teachers -- in fact, the HOST of false teachers -- of this "last hour" of "the last days." In is a marvelous companion piece to an earlier sermon by Pastor VanderMeulen entitled God's "Wrath: Our Moral Corruption" which I also highly recommend (I've given CD's to quite a few people). He cautions us to watch out for the "powerful speakers" and the "miracle workers," for their power and miraculous works do not show, as they might claim, that they are sent from God no many how many times they seem to lift up the name of Jesus Christ. Rather, we need to stand foursquare in the middle of historical beliefs about the Lord. Don't look to novelty. Look to sound doctrine. Become comfortable with sound doctrine. Come to know the power of Christ alone, by grace alone, by faith alone, for the glory of God alone. This knowledge comes by grace through faith. We need to understand these basics, not in the sense of new ideas about the Holy Bible that were not revealed until these last days [sic], but by a solid understanding of these deep doctrinal issues based on serious teachings. This sermon is timely as we continue to press onto to the mark that is Jesus Christ. 6/17/07 7:04 PM Jeffrey    • Add new comment Sermon: Father's Responsibility to Discipline -... Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Suffering that bears fruit... ” A powerful exhortation to fathers. I listened to this purposely on Fathers' Day because I have to discipline my child, and wanted to be focused on Christ as I proceeded into this task. It's a bit difficult for me to understand the idea of proceeding with discipline from a heart overflowing with love and delight. Yet, I know that this is the right vision of the way a parent should be. I pray that I may proceed in that spirit, blessing my child and carrying on the work of the Lord as it should be carried on. Thank you for this profound sermon on a much misunderstood area of life. 5/13/07 11:27 PM Deb    • Add new comment Sermon: Falling Short Of God's Glory - Romans 3:23 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” This is a great sermon to share with anyone who believes there is something inside him or herself that can lead to salvation and eternity before a holy God. It clearly points out the corrupt nature that lies at the root of the problem, leaving no room for self-righteousness. Very clear biblical message. 4/30/07 6:40 PM Robert  from New Jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: Every Mouth Closed - Romans 3:19-20 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Amen! Thank you for this great sermon that tells it like it is! This is a must hear sermon....especially for every American living today! 4/29/07 8:02 PM Robert  from New Jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: But Now... - Romans 3:21-31 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Amen! Thank you for this wonderful message! Yes, our eternal Salvation is of the Lord! 4/28/07 5:31 PM Robert  from New Jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: Christianity - Public Or Private Truth? -... Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ Wonderful Message! ” Hear this wonderful message and your faith will be greatly increased! The recent "finding of the lost tomb of Jesus" is discussed. 3/27/07 4:50 PM Jeff  from New York    • Add new comment Sermon: Your Sins Are Behind Your Back - Romans 2:1-4 Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ Great Sermon! ” In my previous comment, the word "box" should read "bow." 3/27/07 1:20 PM Jeff  from New York    • Add new comment Sermon: Your Sins Are Behind Your Back - Romans 2:1-4 Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ Nobody Can Hide From God ” This sermon is a stark reminder that we had better take seriously the Lord's admonition "Judge not lest you be judged." We are too quick to point the finger at the sins of others, and too little aware of our own sinfulness and the need to box humbly before our merciful and gracious God. Pastor VanderMeulen presents this message without rancor as he preaches into our dark and hardened world. Thank you for this ever-timely message. 3/9/07 6:38 PM Jeff  from Brooklyn, NY    • Add new comment Sermon: Christianity - Public Or Private Truth? -... Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ Christianity is Historical ” This sermon emphatically denies that the Christian needs to retreat to subjectivism to defend his or her faith.Hedenies the sharp line of distinction drawn by I. Kant between the noumenal and phenomenal world (Kant saying that one can only know the phenomenal, but not know the noumenal world that includes God's existence). Rather, the Bible is grounded in verbs, adjectives, and nouns when discussing the Lord God Almighty and the great persons of faith. The language of abstraction is not used. The concrete language of history is used. Thus, the reality of Christ is like the reality of the JFK assassination or the Holocaust. It happened. Thus, our faith is a living reality not grounded in subjective needs or feelings, but on lived history as the supernatural revelation of a gracious God intersected with and was revealed in space and time. The sermon wisely and powerfully reminds us not to give an inch, and not to think for a second that those who challenge the truth of our faith have the objective facts, and we have mere subjectivity. We are even more grounded in historical reality than our accusers. Unfortunately for them and for the world, they are mentally and morally deficient. 3/4/07 1:17 PM Robert  from New jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: The Righteousness Of God - Romans 1:16-18 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Wonderful Message! ” Amen! Hear this wonderful, victorious message about the true Gospel of God's Sovereign Grace! 3/3/07 5:10 PM Jeffrey Ludwig  from Brooklyn, NY    • Add new comment Sermon: God's Wrath - Our Moral Corruption - Romans... Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ Our Corruption is Very Corrupt ” This is an incredible sermon! Pastor VanderMeulen reveals that God sees that the ages old attempt by believers as well as non-believers to make the invisible God into visible images or idols is linked to the American worship of self. God understands this self=worship for what it is: hatred of him. Also, he shares his experience working in prison ministry. He found that the prisoners would deflect facing their criminal guilt by saying that some other criminal was more guilty. He reminds us that we are guilty of the same thing regarding our sins. We compare ourselves to others in order to minimize our own sinfulness. Yet, if we are in Christ it behooves us to admit our sins, for indeed we are beloved children of God and HE HAS SHOWN MERCY UPON US! Jesus Christ, our prophet, priest, and king, came and died for us so that we might be lifted up to eternal life in Him and live as new creations. I have burned 8 CDs for distribution to unsaved co-workers as well as three pastors. Truly, it is a mighty word from the Lord that will be most renewing or salvific for those "who have ears to hear." Thank you Pastor VanderMeulen. (It is possible that this comment might be posted twice due to my confusion about the posting process.) 3/3/07 4:41 PM Jeffrey Ludwig  from Brooklyn, NY    • Add new comment Sermon: God's Wrath - Our Moral Corruption - Romans... Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ Our Corruption is Very Corrupt ” This is an incredible sermon! It is rich with so many Biblical ideas and powerful examples. Pastor VanderMeulen links the ages-old attempt by idolators and so-called followers of God to make visible the invisible God through images with our present-day American worship of self. God does not look at us as "kids will be kids" but sees our worship of self for what it is -- hatred of Him. Further, the pastor shares his experience of working in prison ministry. He tells the congregation that the prisoners would deflect full recognition of their crimes by consistently saying that the other guy did worse crimes. Yes, the pastor sees that we are guilty of deflecting the significance of our own sins. He powerfully preaches how we would rather point to the corruptions in other lives than look at the list of vices listed in Romans and see ourselves in that list. It's such a mighty word from the Lord! I've already burned 8 CD's to give to four Jewish co-workers who have told me they are atheists (I'm a saved Jew myself), my wife's two pastor brothers in the Philippines, another gentleman at work who shares an adjoining office who told me with a great sense of moral superiority [sic] that he is an agnostic, and with a longtime pastor friend who is pentecostal. Thank you Pastor V. 3/3/07 11:16 AM Robert  from New Jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: Sola Fide - Faith Alone - Romans 4:20-25 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Hear this wonderful message from the Book of Romans about our eternal justification by faith alone! 3/2/07 3:35 PM Robert  from New Jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: Sola Gratia - Grace Alone - Romans 4:5 Doug VanderMeulen 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Thank you for this wonderful message on the Sovereign Grace of God!

I look forward to hearing these good sermons from Romans! Thank you! 10/4/06 7:43 PM Jeffrey Ludwig  from Brooklyn, NY    • Add new comment Sermon: What Does Being Spiritual Look Like? -... Doug VanderMeulen 2 comments “ A Profound and Thought-Provoking Sermon ” I found this sermon to be profound and thought-provoking. Yes, being faithful in the midst of the mundane is what we are called to be. Do you have any sermons online on this or similar topics that deal with following a Christian path when dealing with non-Christians in the workplace or neighborhood? Blessings, Jeff
