“ Don't Miss this Message! ” The contrast of Mary's pure motive for her extravagant display of worship to Christ vs. Judas' wicked motive for criticizing her! Wow! "Man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart!" 1 Sam. 16:7
“ Thank You ” Thank you pastor Will for leading, feeding, and protecting us. I love the Worship in the way we do the Lord's Table and that it is the focus of the service and not something added on at the end of the service, it's all about Christ and what He has done. Bless His Holy Name!
“ WOW ” What a great message, thank you Pastor Will. This passage is not about Lazarus, it is about Jesus as God. When we focus on man we have taken our eyes off of God and what He is doing. This passage shows us that God is Sovereign in our salavation too. We were dead men until God awakened us in our sins and we responded with I believe but that was the only response we could have because God gave us the faith to believe it. GOD CHOSE US (before the foundations of the world), WE DID NOT CHOOSE HIM. GOD is always PREVIOUS! Praise God, what a humbling truth!
“ Great Sermon! ” I am amazed at how much I am amazed everytime Pastor William opens the scripture and teaches us what God is saying. He shows us that God has hidden all this from us until we were ready to receive it, then He has it clearly revealed thru the wonderful exposition. It is all about His timing.
My eyes constantly tear-up when I realize the beauty of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and what He plainly told us; and, yet, He hid it from our hearts and minds until the day we were supposed to understand clearly the truth of His scripture.
Jesus spoke so plainly in the Bible that it is almost impossible to believe that no one who listened His words actually heard and understood exactly what He was saying when He said it.
Wow!!! The strong, clear-speaking person, who was the man, Jesus Christ walked among us, and taught us that He Himself was the eternal Father, Creator of the universe who appeared to us in the physical presence of Jesus Christ.
The teaching was very clear, but our hearts and minds are as dull as a rusty butter knife. But Jesus, Himself, sharpens our minds through His Holy Spirit thru the word of God.
Our pastor, William Rogers, has obviously been chosen for this purpose-to teach truth to a hungry and thirsty church.
Thank you Lord, for giving us William.
“ Great Sermon! ” WHEN WILL THE CRYING STOP? I asked the pastor Sunday after this message and He and I agreed that ti really doesn't for those who love the Lord Jesus and what He did for those He loves. Why were we chosen? Why did He commit Himself to the flesh to save wretched ones like us who didn't then, nor now, deserve saving? I guess we will never know for sure, but as Pastor William says, "Jesus speaks clearly" to those He has chosen, and who are part of His flock. If we hear Him then we are saved from His wrath, forever. That one thought always brings tears to my eyes; sometimes in a trickle, and sometimes in a flood.
He was no Mister Nice Guy, coming to save everyone. No, as we learn, He spoke plainly to everyone, but only a few actually hear Him and understand who we are, and what He did forus, not what we did for Him.
Wow What a message! What a savior.
Thank you Jesus for giving us a new life as part of your flock, adopted into Your heavenly family. Thank you William for conveying that wonderful, life saving message to us, who are blessed to receive it.
In Jesus precious Name, Amen
“ This sermon is a 'must hear'! ” Jesus is God-He proclaims it Himself in this passage. It enraged the "religious leaders" of Christ's day and it will enrage anyone today who does not bow to His sovereign lordship over all! He was and is and is to come!
“ Solid Teacher! ” Glad to see God is using William on Sermon Audio. Back in the mid 70s as a teenager and new convert, I used to attend home Bible Studies at Williams house. He was an earnest student of scripture then and has still held the same emphasis of Expositional teaching in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Those were great days of real revival. Imagine a house full of teenagers on Fri. and Sat. nights studying the Bible and learning how to pray. During the week, I think we knocked on every apartment door in town, sharing Christ with the lost.
May God use William to bring the same emphasis to his new church and to a new group of young people.
“ What a blessing! ” This teaching from 1 Corinthians Chapter 11 by Pastor William Rogers is the best I have ever been blessed by. I have had the privilege of belonging to a very strong, biblically based church with a nationally reknown Bible expositor in the past. That teacher, heard daily on radio worldwide, I am pleased to say, does not teach as clearly as our pastor. We are so blessed to have William Rogers as our teacher. He wants us to know for certain why we need to go to the throne of grace with a heart filled with truth before we have Communion. He wants us to know why God chose His son to sacrifice Himself for us, and why we celebrate the partaking of the bread and wine. something everybody has heard about or participated in since we were babies. No matter what church we attended as children, we have seen and taken comnunion many times before. But, I am positive we will never take communion for granted again. Thank you Father for blessing us with this clear teaching of Your word through our Pastor Will.
“ Great Sermon! ” The teaching is clear and hard. The truth will set you free. Jesus did not hide or couch His words to the people, but clearly taught who He was.
William always brings out the truth of scripture so there are no questions what God is saying through His word.
I, personally am so blessed that God chose me for His family. I am not quite 10 years old in my new life, because I was saved Memorial Day 2001, and I will be ten this year.
I am so thrilled to be celebrating three years as a member of Grace Fellowship Church, and my soon to be 10th birthday. (OK, so I was a late starter.)
Thank you Lord for leading me hereto Grace Fellowship Church in Bradenton Fl, so I could also bring others to hear Your word taught so clearly every time we meet.
Keep blessing pastor and the leader-ship team of GFC.
“ Great Sermon! ” Praise God, when He awakens the sheep, they wake up "In Christ". I can't wait to hear pastor Will teach on John chapter 11 and how the calling out of Lazarus is related to our own personal salvation. Thank you pastor Will for our spiritual growth.
“ Praise the Lord! ” I loved this--"you do not believe because you are not my sheep". Sheep will believe because God has determined it! Goats don't become sheep! Sheep have always been sheep (before the foundation of the world). A message that everyone should listen to!
“ Great Sermon! ” pastor william is good expositor
his sermons give a background
of the passage of scripture as well
as showing you truths that we may
have missed. an there is always an
application that will stir us to seek
more of God and his Word.
