We all love stories. And here at SermonAudio we enjoy getting your feedback!
Whether they be comments posted on sermons, feedback left in the App Store (for iPhone or Android), emails that come in, hand-written letters that periodically come in, or responses from our courtesy phone calls that we make every day .. it gives us a special encouragement to hear real stories of how the Lord is using the preached Word to affect so many lives around the world!
Every day, one of our own staff dons on his headset and makes courtesy calls to every single broadcaster on SermonAudio, all year round. It's labor-intensive, but we feel it is important to keep that personal touch. It's not without its rewards either as he will often share the feedback received with the rest of our staff in our internal message board and in our testimonials section as well.
But every so often, we will hear a story that is particularly special and noteworthy. Here is one such story from Pastor Handyside of Cornerstone Community Church:
"We have seen God work over the years through our partnership with SermonAudio in some interesting and incredible ways. Here’s one story. For years we have celebrated Sanctity of Human Life Sunday and we have often had speakers from nearby crisis pregnancy centers come and give the morning message. We have several archived on our site. One day a woman in our area, who was pregnant and ready to commit suicide somehow ended up on SermonAudio and found our church’s page. She listened to one of the archived messages from a few years before. She called up the crisis pregnancy center represented in that message and set up an appointment. After several meetings she came to Christ and had the baby. This lady is now plugged into a local church near where she lives! She still doesn’t know how she ended up on SermonAudio but the Lord used archived message on the site to give hope to a desperate woman who received Jesus!"
We have compiled very special stories like these in a new page on the site called simply "Stories" .. We hope it will be as much a blessing to you as you read through them as they were to us receiving them!
SGBC has been using SermonAudio for a few years now. While we are a small church ( 100) we find SermonAudio a very economical way of spreading God's Word through out the entire world. We are amazed to see the number of monthly downloads across the United States and across the oceans of the world. SermonAudio helps to fulfill our Lord's Great Commission to preach the Word to the ends of the earth
I ran my mouth 2 God. Sum up:God's will none should perish all come to repentance, not respector of persons before I got saved I ask what was He thinking in Genesis 6:6 w/ what I said previously. U know when He told me before I got saved that He would like His Church to get as many people saved and as a last chance when everyone goes through the 'Tribulation, which most don't believe. I was like what?Post-TribRapture? Great Falling Away God could see is when 70% see no Pre Trib Rapture, oh well Mid then. But to go through the hellish last 3 1/2 yrs, well how many of the 90% will stand fast to God's Word? I ran my mouth & John Paul Jackson came to his friend in a dream according to Charisma Magazine & Jackson said the Prophetic Timeline is destroyed...Jackson when in MA in Framingham Prophesied to me...I destroyed the timeline. I am going to bring the most powerful movement in History. Just by me being me. He saw me as what I wanted to be, through that many get saved. I am blowing up the timeline, God spoke to me. 'You R getting everything you want...' I played with exotic animals and will play with exotic animals, I told God not to return. Until I am the richest Christian...The world can go to heck. Call it "Dos & Don'ts on the "footstool." Sincerely SNAKE CHARMER BEAR KODIAK
I read some of your article and always cool to see a testimony. Just that one testimony of that lady who decided to keep her child and got plugged into her local church would make all the work worth it yet I'm sure there is hundreds of beautiful testimonies how SermonAudio was used by God to bring someone to the Lord. I remember the first time the Gospel message hit me I was driving in my car listening to SA and it just tore into my heart. Whenever I get a chance I promote SA and after many Churches I was plugged into a Gospel centered Church through SA. SA has been a great blessing in my life. Thanks SA and may God bless your work for the Kingdom of God.
Thanks, SA, for posting that story. It might be good to post something like that on a regular basis. There are many people surfing the web and looking up anything, especially sermons related to difficult Bible verses.
I should have pointed out that Providence of God had everything to do with this result. Do pethsps patting oneself on the back, should be done lightly. But, that being said good work
a deep satisfaction would denote wanting a tickling of ears ... effective witnessing sometimes comes with unsatisfying words and a kick in the rump ... again were at odds because i refuse a feather bed ....
