Great Sermon! I quiver when I hear such profound truths, I cannot contain myself, this is my understanding of giving up the milk of the WORD and digesting solid biblical food. I like sermons like these that makes me tremble with hot and cold blood rushes through my whole body. I fear our Mighty GOD'S wrath, yet I find comfort in His Grace and Mercy. Thank you. GOD BLESS!
Great Sermon! Extremely Great Sermon and title, this should be sealed by the Blood of JESUS into the hearts of many, the other 2 comments says it all. I mean I really like it alot and yes I am struck with awe. Thank you, GOD Bless you Pastor Prutow.
Great Sermon! Professor, thanks for modeling the point of this sermon in the structure of it! I was blessed -- and challenged -- to preach simple truths that grip the heart and transform lives. May the Lord continue to raise up RP preachers who cause the pulpits, and the mission fields, and the living rooms ring with the Good News of Jesus Christ! Thanks for your labors in the church, in the Seminary, in your writing, and -- especially -- in the pulpit!
Great Lecture! For all who wrestle with the issue of office as it pertains to the Ministry of the Word and Sacrament, this is a very helpful and clarifying lecture and one that I hope all teaching and ruling elders in the RPCNA and other Reformed and Presbyterian denominations will consider. Well done Dennis!
Excellent Sermon! Nothing but Good Bible Truth here.
Thank God for a teacher such as Dr. Prutow who doesnt fall for the non-biblical silly fantasies of dispensationalism and popular fiction.
Another Great Sermon! Dr.Prutow's early stuff is just as good as his newer material, I'm here to tell you. Another very enjoyable sermon, this one. I could listen to this guy all day.
Excellent Sermon! Man, this guy is good!
I've listened to alot of sermons on here by alot of different speakers and I have to say this fellow ranks right up there with the best of them. We are indeed blessed to have Dr. Prutow's sermons to listen to. Thanks for posting them on Sermon audio and thank you Sermon Audio for existing!
Great Sermon! - Hypothesis of Evolution I agree that The Theory of Evolution is ridiculous, however, It is actually not even a theory. I was taught in high school about the "Scientific Method". It is a series of steps that one takes a hypothesis through in order to officially call something a theory.
Well, this so-called theory of Evolution does not even make it through this scientific method. It is actually still only a hypothesis, by Science's own definition. Of course, They will never admit this.
Great Sermon! Thank you Dr. Prutow for defending Psalm singing from the Book of Revelation. Seeking to promote Psalm singing, critics have often used Revelation 15 to counter me. Your demonstrating that Revelation is patterned after the Psalms, quotes the Psalms and has the same message of the Psalms is very instructive. I will be using your sermon to help persuade others to look again an the need and benefit of Psalm singing. Thanks for your insights and exegetical defense of our singing the Psalter.

Response to Jago from Australia Here are four thoughts for consideration.
First of all: [1] Following the pattern of Hebrew poetry, [2] carrying the theme of Christ's kingship, and [3]quoting the psalter, this song of Revelation, by its example, points us back to the psalter.
Second: Modern hymns are not composed using the patterns of parallel thought used in Hebrew poetry. Such patterns are foreign to modern hymnody.
Third: The technical procedure used to transpose the patterns of thought used in Hebrew poetry into western style is known as prosody. It is similar to the translation process and is used to convey the thought and intent of the original.
Fourth: The parallel paterns of thought used in Hebrew poetry are easily transfered into different languages. This is part of the beauty of Hebrew poetery not found in other forms of poetery.
Great Sermon! But the point is, it is not a psalm. It is a song written after the pattern of the psalms and has some of the ideas from the psalms, but it is not one of the psalms. Many of our hymns and gospel songs follow these same criteria. Very few people seem to sing the actual psalms as written. They rearrange them to fit our notions of musical metre. They even alter the words to fit. [See the response by Dr. Prutow]
Great Sermon! This is a great sermon! I really appreciate the encouragement to grow and be prepared intellectually. This does help alleviate anxiety in regards to giving a defense of your faith.
Great Sermon!(15th on my odyssey) Thankyou brother Prutow for this interesting and challenging sermon,especially on the subject of perseveering in the work of God.
I am on an odyssey of listening to a sermon from each book of the Bible, randomly selected,by a speaker whom i have not heard before.
This is a great blessing and joy.
may God be pleased to bless your ministry to the glory of His name.
Yours in the service of Christ jesus our Lord.Norman Smith
Seek Him First Indeed The favor of God is precious indeed and worthy of being sought.
Uzzah died because of a failure to seek God that King David acknowledged in 1 Chronicles 15:13.
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. - Isaiah 55:6
Praise the Lord for Your Powerful Ministry Good Morning Dr. Prutow,
Praise the Lord for your powerful ministry of the Word of God!
Your sermon this past Sunday was glorious. The insights and applications
you presented from the Genesis 6 passage are the heart of the Gospel. Using the real life illustrations of crime and murder from our area were very effective at driving home the reality of evil in our human hearts. Your analogy of Golumb, from the Lord of The Rings, representing the deformity that greed and lust
brings to our human likeness was brilliant.

Great Sermon! This practical sermon was a blessing to me the very week he gave it (I was in the congregation.)
I was anxious and fearful about a situation at my job, and while driving into work I reflected back on this sermon and thought of how others in my adopted family in Christ were strong and of good courage and trusted in the LORD God Almighty. After confessing and repenting in my shame and taking Him at His word in Faith, God strengthened me and graciously blessed me with peace only He could provide. Things were still crazy, but He *is* God and I *am* His child and beloved of Him and He is true to His promises.
Great Sermon! Even after the Fall, there is in man the image of God in non-Christians.
This has implications for Christians, too.
Dennis Prutow is an EXCELLENT teacher, and this sermon is proof positive of that claim. He goes deeper than simply defining the image of God, he tells you what it means for all mankind. Terrific!
Note of Encouragement Just a quick note to encourage you and inform you that I am using your sermons of the book of Jonah in Viterbo, Italy for our Presbyterian Mission Church until the Lord sends us a minister which should be this summer. I am an elder in this small congregation. Please pray for us too that the Lord will bless the preaching of these sermons.
By email to RPTS: I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the conference on "Reformed Worship" that I had the privilege of attending today hosted by the Lisbon, NY OPC and RPC where Dr. Dennis Prutow gave a wonderful lecture. I believe his presentation was armly received by all in attendance; and I especially gained much insight from his message.
