3/19/13 8:15 PM Thomas Sullivan  from Jenison, MI    • Add new comment Sermon: Umpire in the Heart Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ As good as it gets ” Pastor McDearmon preached this particular sermon in our assembly - Grand Rapids - Sunday night. There was one word I used to sum up his three messages here. "authority." I don't know another active preacher that reminds me as much of our mutual friend, Albert Martin. {where the McDearmons are visiting as I type this}. It had the desired effect. We often don't talk a lot about sermons anymore after the delivery. Not so in this case. My wife and I needed and received the earnest warning and admonition. I can't make good preachers known. I can give others a heads up, but I don't have an explanation why the best communicators and preachers are still too unknown in our day. But maybe like A W Pink, their labors will follow after them. God has a way of keeping us from spiritual pride.

Good word . 10/14/11 6:10 AM Thomas Sullivan  from Jenison, MI    • Add new comment Sermon: Awakening In Nineveh Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Pastor McDearmon is helpful here in his definition of revival and awakening.(2)I certainly agree with him that the Ninevites experienced many conversions, not just an awakening and an outward reformation. The latter conclusion would fail to consider that an awakening that doesn't issue in a conversion renders the subjects more guilty. More light that doesn't result in conversion means that all reformation is done by mercenary motives, trying to appease a God that the heart is still at enmity against. This would make the Ninevites to have been more culpable. As the theologian A.H.Strong states that the soul is the most guilty the moment before it is regenerated because against more light than ever it is still at war with God. That is precisely WHY the Ninevites will rise up in judgment against the generation that lived in Christ's day. Matthew 12:41 The Ninevites repented at the preaching of Jonah. 5/15/11 9:39 AM Dr. Griffiths  from Lone Star State    • Add new comment Sermon: Real Change Needed Jim Savastio 1 comment “ Awesome! ” This is superb sermon that is filled with insight. The account of our Lord's response to the rich young ruler has great relevance for our salvation today. Please share this powerful sermon with others. 1/11/11 7:53 PM Lia Leigh  from Nigeria    • Add new comment Sermon: Effects of the Spirit's Presence Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Very good sermon! Should be repeated every sunday until it produces fruits. 1/10/11 11:41 AM John Ulics  from Edgewater, FL    • Add new comment Sermon: A Letter for Today's Church Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ EXCELLENT EXPOSITIONAL SERIES! ” A SURE CURE FOR TODAY'S GREASY-GRACE, "CHURCH-LITE" THAT PREVAILS IN THE MAJORITY OF WESTERN EVANGELICAL CHURCHES TODAY! I recently finished listening to this 8-part exposition without undue interruption. This exposition should be required learning in all of our institutions of "higher theological learning". There is a drought of this kind of preaching that cuts a straight path through the Bible right to the hearts and minds of congregants, deacons, and elders. I highly encourage the study and application of this exposition, even if you [think] you're attending a "reformed" Church. Pass on the link to the Elders of your Church. The reaction, or lack thereof, can be quite telling. The series, while being very convicting corporately, holds equal weight to us as individual members of the local body. 5/3/10 7:23 PM JohnU  from Florida    • Add new comment Sermon: Sin, A Dreadful Disease Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Excellent Sermon!! Pastor McDearmon I thank the LORD for your sermons. Like his associate, Albert Martin, Pastor McDearmon preaches the whole council of God Almighty, none of this easy-believism apostasy! May God continue to bless you Pastor McDearmon! 9/17/08 11:45 AM R. Vining  from Louisiana    • Add new comment Sermon: Holy Unto The Lord Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Must Hear! Your Money...or God's Money?? ” Pastor McDearmon has again with his characteristic unforced ease clearly resounded sound Biblical teaching on how we are to view money, but more importantly, how God views money. One is left without question as the proof that is preached flows from Genesis, through the Law and Prophets, and then completes the progressive principle and thought revealed in New Covenant practices for today’s serious minded Christians. If you have questions about your financial obligation to God and His kingdom, this is perhaps the best foundational building block message I have heard that highlights clear, well-founded, Biblical principles all the way from the Garden to the practice of NT believers. As a side benefit, you can have clarity of thought and strength of conscience given to your view of the Lord’s Day principle as Pastor McDearmon fundamentally provides solid proofs of our sanctity of the Lord’s Day. (And that is not even the point of this message; he proves it by the basic Biblical principles outlined.) 8/26/08 6:03 PM R. Vining  from Louisiana    • Add new comment Sermon: How Firm A Foundation Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” Pastor McDearmon has again given one of those remarkable sermons that so consistently characterize his style and faithful labor over the Word. If you don't expose yourself to this man of God and his preaching ministry, you are missing much. Is it not like our God to have some of his most gifted servants hidden from the eyes of most of the world... and of the church??? Thank God for SERMONAUDIO. 9/25/07 5:16 AM Thomas Sullivan    • Add new comment Sermon: Iniquity and the Solemn Assembly Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Very Probing, Most Convicting! ” My best friend alerted me to this sermon and said that I must hear it, and I finally did. I replied that it of course merits a positive comment left here, but he agreed that it also weighs us in the balance and we must not be found wanting ourselves. I keep thinking of Richard Baxter's warning to me, "If sin be evil, why do you live in it if it be not, why do you dissuade men from it? If it be dangerous, how dare you venture on it? if it be not, why do you tell men so? If God’s threatenings be true, why do you not fear them? Take heed lest you cry down sin, and yet do not overcome it; lest, while you seek to ring it down in others, you bow to it, and become its slaves yourselves - The Reformed Pastor - 1656 www.thereformedpastor.com 2/3/07 11:14 AM JW  from UK    • Add new comment Sermon: Full of the Holy Spirit Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ A challenge for all ” With typical thoroughness and care, Pastor McDearmon paints a portrait of a Spirit-filled man, and depicts with painful honesty the ways and means whereby the Spirit is resisted, grieved and quenched. The absolute necessity of the Spirit of Christ for the health of the church and her members is powerfully set out. Here is a helpful tool for self-examination with a view to identifying the sins which empty us of spiritual power, and pointed exhortations with earnest encouragements to pursue Christ and to embrace and enjoy his Spirit's operations. If we did as counselled here, we - and the churches of which we are members - would truly be healthier and happier by far, and the gospel would be going forth from us with greater vigour and efficacy. 10/4/06 5:53 AM Thomas M Sullivan  from Jenison, MI    • Add new comment Sermon: Far As The Curse Is Found Chris Maldarella 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” This sermon means a lot to me because Chris and I were roommates before we both found our brides and got married within 6 months of each other. I can attest that this is a dear brother and a godly young man! It is good to see that now two of my former roommates are using their gifts and have sermons on Sermon Audio! 8/9/06 5:11 AM Thomas M Sullivan  from Jenison, MI    • Add new comment Sermon: Indifference & Carelessness Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” It is good for a Christian to ponder, is it well with my soul? But often I wonder if I am the only one that wonders is everything well with my church? We're confessional, we aim at the right goals in worship, and yet I have wondered are we not affected by routine and tradition, and more so the cares of this life? Sometimes when one wants to express this concern, we worry about being looked at as censorious or our reflections are too much affected by our melancholy temperament. Besides, I have so much work to do with my own heart to express concerns about my church. And yet only part way into this series of sermons I knew that Pastor Mcdearmon was about to put his finger on the pulse of what I feel and fear. It makes even more impression on me because I respect the communicator of this sermon as well. I woke up thinking about it. Is it as it should be with my soul? With my church? 3/18/06 2:55 PM Tom Fowler    • Add new comment Sermon: The LBCF of 1689 - Ch 7, Para 1, Part 1 Mr. Rob Burchett 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” The first part of this message gives an excellent summary of the first several chapters of the 1689 confession. This is God-exalting teaching. -Tom 3/24/05 5:16 AM Thomas Sullivan  from Jenison, MI    • Add new comment Sermon: What Is The Gospel? (Part 1) - It Is A... Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Great Sermon! ” I suppose I download and listen to as many sermons as the most frequent user of this site, typically two or three a day sometimes to listen to while sorting the mail at work. Few preachers give me the satisfaction and edification as Pastor McDearmon. I have listened to these three sermons on "What is the Gospel" with the greatest pleasure as his communication skills appear unequalled in our own Reformed Baptist circles. The no-nonsense, urgent delivery is good to stir my too often cold dead heart and make it feel. 9/29/04 6:00 AM Thomas Sullivan  from Jenison, Michigan    • Add new comment Sermon: Parable of the Pounds #2 Pastor George McDearmon 1 comment “ Heart Searching ” If I want to read an author who will prod and convict my - too often - cold dead heart, it is Richard Baxter... If I want to listen to a preacher that will do the same, it is George McDearmon. This sermon is an excellent example of what I mean. A lot of good men could preach this same message and my conscience would, unfortunately probably remain dull, but it is Mcdearmon's urgency and delivery that gives his sermons the thunder clap to my hearing. 8/25/04 5:09 AM TMS  from Grand Rapids    • Add new comment Sermon: Christ Likeness As Seen in Athletic Imagery... Pastor George McDearmon 4 comments “ Humbling Sermon! ” There are a number of things about Pastor McDearmon's preaching that assists him to make a solid impression on the conscience. He preaches with a pathos and a command of the English language that is gripping and almost unequalled even in Reformed Baptist circles, (2) he never preaches that which is superficial or can lightly be dismissed, and (3) those of us who know him also know that he lives what he preaches. I recently heard him affectionately referred to as General McDearmon and I think the title is fitting, though I also think of him as a drill sargent. The first thing I am convicted of is my own spiritual flabbiness, and also my need to be a symmetrical father. That the whole man is required to be a father and not just once in a while, and at other times we can check out. But what is required is focus. If one is hear to listen to sermons on www.sermonaudio.com to hear some interesting new thing, you probably won't like this kind of frank preaching. If one thinks that the Christian duty is defending a certain version of the Bible and their theory of when Christ returns, they will wonder at this kind of preaching. This is surely a sign of how astray we are in our thinking about the narrow way and the cross of Christ. 8/23/04 3:12 PM Chris L.  from western PA    • Add new comment Sermon: Christ Likeness As Seen in Athletic Imagery... Pastor George McDearmon 4 comments “ Christian College Athlete's Recommandation ” Pastor McDearmon's series on athletic imagery in the New Testament has helped you greatly in my athletic career, both in high school and in college. He firmly believes that athletic training and competition is one of the best theaters in which to develop certain character traits. In fact, it may be hard to practically teach our young people such character in other contexts. For example, he points out that a diligent athlete learns endurance. As a long distance runner, I wholeheartedly agree! But the most important endurance he means is not physical, but mental and attitude-related. If our young people are not impressed early in life that certain commitments they make are binding regardless of whether they are having fun, they will be poor churchmen, spouses, parents, and citizens. In short, athletics can play a very important role in developing the most vital character traits we all need as Christians. I highly recommend this sermon, and the entire series. 8/18/04 7:12 AM Coach Lee  from New Jersey    • Add new comment Sermon: Christ Likeness As Seen in Athletic Imagery... Pastor George McDearmon 4 comments “ A Christian Coach's Commendation ” This series should be heard by everyone but especially by anyone who has the privilege of coaching young men and women in athletics, and by everyone who participates in athletic competition. Pastor McDearmon clearly shows, by a careful analysis of New Testament language and imagery, the positive character traits that may be learned and cultivated by athletic training and competition. He sets forth from the Bible, especially the writings of Paul, that there are at least eight areas of character traits essential to living the Christian life that are identified with the biblical usage of athletic imagery: submission to authority, discipline, self-control, hard work, courage, teamwork, endurance and focus or single-mindedness. As is usual with Pastor McDearmon, the Biblical exegesis is handled with surgical accuracy, and the applications come with earnestness and conviction. After identifying these essential character traits, he then makes a powerful plea that such athletes should be preeminently seeking to pattern their lives after our great example, the Lord Jesus Christ. In our many years of coaching, we have used this beneficial series to form the basis of what we try to teach our athletes. God has graciously blessed these efforts. We encourage others to listen and do likewise.
