Great Sermon! Would it be possible to get a copy of the powerpoint slides that Pastor Brian uses in this sermon? I am in a small group study and we are covering this topic.
Great Sermon! Thank you for such a Godly sermon. I am planning to listen again to this sermon, write down all of the verses in the sermon to read them often and memorize them to run them through my mind as I need them.

Bad Audio File Second the request of the previous comment. This series had bad audio files when I attempted to listen through it a couple years ago. If it is possible at this point to fix them somehow, I would love to hear these sermons on Joel from Pastor Brian.
Listen, grieve and repent There is so much in this sermon that should make all who claim to be Christians hang our heads in shame and ask for God's power to repent and do right. And for each church to repent and start exercising careful discipline for the sake of the individual and for the purity of the church. As the pastor says, churches should not be known for their free doughnuts, rock concerts and games, but for their holy fear of God and as places where God dwells in a special way. May the Lord lead each of us to repentance, in our own hearts and in our churches.
Great Sermon! Thank you so much for this beautiful reminder of the importance of "koinonia" - true fellowship - among believers. You are right - we American Christians really struggle with this because of our selfishness and individualism.
It's wonderful to hear about the prison ministry and how God does away with racial divisions among the prisoners who attend the Bible studies.
Great Sermon! Thank you for this strong exhortation to gather together in corporate prayer meetings. Undoubtedly, one reason our churches are so weak these days is because we do not pray enough, or for the right things. May the Sovereign Lord send His Spirit to revive us.
Great Sermon! This sermon highlights the astonishing power of unbelief to make people blind to the truth, even when it's right in front of them (the healed man in this instance). It makes me think of Romans 1:18.
Peter and John said, "We CANNOT stop speaking" about Jesus. As the pastor said, that power comes from the Holy Spirit, v. 8, and the motivation comes from having been with Jesus, v. 13. May the Lord fill each of us with His Spirit and move us to spend time with Him in corporate and private worship, and make it impossible for us not to speak about Him.
This Is Very, Very Good! Pastor Brian. I come away from your messages having learned something, and having a greater appreciation of the LORD our God as you have the focus on HIM, His character, His sovereignty, His abilities. Thank you.
Great Sermon! Dear Brian, thank you for a beautiful sermon exalting Christ and his love. It has been an encouragement to my soul. May we love like He does.
Blessed Assurance! One of the best sermons I've ever heard for the assurance of those who are in Christ. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, and He paid for our sins in full on the cross. So when Satan tempts us to despair, as the song says, we must remember God's words that Jesus has made propitiation for all our sins and we must not be debilitated by shame and guilt any more.
