Dallas Reformed Baptist Church

This is an excellent sermon, the best I have ever heard in person on the necessity of union and communion with Christ for growth in grace. Wonderful! This is key to the Christian life! - Pastor Mathis, Silvia, Steve, Jake, Lydia, Juan, Rosa, Enrique, and Hilda and Company. God bless you Pastor Walther.

This messages us great guidelines as to how we act and think if we are True Christians.

Snowed in today and listened to this message with my daughter. Concise, timely, and very helpful reminders. Great sermon. Thank you!

I am 57 years old I had a 20 year drug adiction. I've been clean for five years. Prayer. Has without a dought saved my life. Please tell Brian baker that. His sermons touch me deeply. And I thank god for leading me to him via SermonAudio

Unless you are presently resting in Christ and truly content, this sermon will surely be of help if heard and heeded. Thanks Les.

One week ago{I trust it is o.k. to share this comment}I was sitting down with Albert Martin in his study and we were reflecting on the indefatigable labors of Pastor Bala in India. He told me that he believes that Bala's ministry, church building, shepherding, translating, and overseeing,-in Sri Lanka and elsewhere, is the closest thing he knows in this day to what would illustrate a modern apostolic ministry. In our own church when we read his ministry updates, we continually marvel how he can do so much. But Paul reminds us it is the strength of Christ that enables us to do the Lord's work and we pray that God would continue to be with this dear brother for years to come.Great to see him again two weeks ago here in Grand Rapids as well.

Amen! I just purchased a transcript for this sermon for all to benefit from deeper study of the rich content in this sermon. I praise God for Pastor Baker.

Thank you so much, dear brother, to set Christ before us so clearly!

The message is powerful, sobering and encouraging, indeed a reminder of the realities of the last days and the glorious hope we have in the second coming of our Lord!!!

Thankyou brother Baker for this instructing,encouraging and challenging sermon. I am on an odyssey of listening to a sermon from each book of the Bible preached by a speaker whom i have not heard the gospel.This is a blessed venture.may it please the Lord to bless your ministry to the glory of His name.

After three days I have just finished the 9th sermon. I listened to 5 of them yesterday alone. With many sermons here we cry AMEN! Which too often means, "Way to preach to others, I am o.k." When John Owen preaches to me I cry OH ME! There is an online discussion going on about this book http://www.challies.com/ and I just joined it and pointed them to this series of lectures. I don't remember a series of sermons so cutting me to the heart like this exposition of Owen's book. And I hear three or four sermons a day. The discussion of the term, "Inveterateness" alone is searching to the core. I recommend getting all of Owen's works if even if on CD. I found it here for just 11.00 http://www.discountbible.com under the column for AGES CDs. Thank you Pastor Walthers for expounding Owen so well. I don't envy the pastoral counseling you will have to do after a series like this. I told my friend yesterday that if I lived in Dallas, I know which church I would attend! Thanks and may God continue to strenghthen you, you can't retire just yet!

I did not discover this series until today and I started with this lecture. I am very satisfied with what I have heard. John Owen's works volume 6 are so prized by me. I have two different narrations of The Mortification of Sin on Sermon Audio.SID=62906111628 and SID=61404213748. But more importantly I believe this subject is important for many reasons. (1)The only other teaching of this book by a Reformed Baptist pastor that I know of was in the early 70's and that pastor has shipwrecked and disqualified himself from the ministry and (2)my own brother - known to the church there in Dallas, has also defected. No warnings then can be too strong and Pastor Walthers is doing a great service here. I will let my friends know about the sermons and download all of them. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for this excellent sermon! Praise God for His wonderful, free sovereign grace! Yes, Salvation is of the Lord!
