Great Sermon! Very good message with many insights from a Biblical and Reformed point-of-view. This nonsense called 'emergent' is a new name for what the serpent told Eve back in the Garden. It is not a Church - because a Church has Christ as it's Head. Matthew 5:19 comes to mind.
Great Sermon! A beautiful and encouraging sermon. Jesus's abundant grace is more than sufficient for us in any thorn or trial we may endure in life. I loved it.
Thanks Thanks for the message. When you began I was tempted to shut my computer off again because I felt that since I am not victorious, the sermon wasn't for me. By God's stubborn grace I listened to the whole thing. True, I don't feel victorius, for I've been fighting an internal battle for months with little release, but it is good for my mind to know the truth, being reminded that it is God who will not let me go, and I hope the feelings will come. May God bless your faithful ministry.
Great Sermon! This sermon makes one feel very close to Jesus, gracious Savior and Master. Such a beautiful focus on the tender heart of Jesus. Thank you!
Great Sermon! Thank you Pastor Bilkes. This being The 1st Sunday after Epiphany , I was looking for an Epiphany Sermon and that section of the website is woefully lacking. Glad I looked in the Advent section and found this message: "Wise Men Seek the King of the Jews". The way you read the Scripture passage tells me that you actually believe it is God's book. Amen! Thanks. I'd suggest that S.A..com puts this sermon in the Epiphany section of "Sermon's by Topic".
Great King. Jesus Christ will be always the Lamb, an eternal reminder that only through His blood we have access into heaven. He will be our eternal Shepard and Ruler.
Suffering. Providence of God and suffering; punishment and suffering; purpose of suffering; prayer and suffering; prospect and suffering. Interesting lessons about suffering.
Power of the Spirit. Blessed longing of Elisha of being clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit - this must be the wish of every preacher of the Gospel.
Great love of Christ. What a wonderful comfort: Christ is seeking us when we are hiding! How great is His love for us, seeking us and restoring us!
Great hope. Our great God gave Lamech a prophetic message about His plan for the future, so he had a hope to sustain him through the hardness of life. At the same time, we walked hoping in the arrival of the promised Savior. God never let alone his children.
