He listened to a couple on Sermon Audio, and the choice was between 3 in the area...he was trying to decide between the other two, and on a sudden whim said let's go to this one, and decided on the third choice, Pastor Clark's gathering. The Lord blessed my socks off there, I truly was nourished, convicted, and blessed with the joy of my salvation. Good seeing you again, Leslie. :) Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-12808641340165639912012-10-23T14:30:19.688-07:002012-10-23T14:30:19.688-07:00Susan, when did you find the new church?

I will check out a sermon by your new pastor - I could definitely use a sermon about grace right now! The more I progress in my Christian walk, the more I realize how much resistance there is in my heart both to admitting the extent of my sin and accepting God's forgiveness for it. I don't think that any of us truly repents as we should this side of eternity, or that any of us really understands the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice for us. And those are just a few reasons why we need to hear about grace over and over again. Hope all is well with you!!L https://www.blogger.com/profile/04903967140464360127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-9450130218646586422012-10-23T13:11:36.642-07:002012-10-23T13:11:36.642-07:00Hi Stacie, it's wonderful to meet you too!

Compared to eternity, the years we spend here are just like a blink of an eye :) God's grace is so immense and forever enduring! He is greater than all of our suffering :DSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-47852900997753897862012-10-23T08:31:13.868-07:002012-10-23T08:31:13.868-07:00Dear Susan, I am all about grace.

I thank God for it, especially in our situation.<br /><br />God's grace and His ability to redeem our ashes and turn them into a beautiful garden sustains me every day.<br /><br />It is lovely to meet you.

The Lord in His mercy led us to him, and he reaches out to the down and outs here in Michigan. His heart is truly in trying to reach the lost and dying. <br /><br />I'll look for that book, Lyn, thanks for that. I'm always on the lookout for good reading. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-69806990580189514672012-10-19T16:18:35.247-07:002012-10-19T16:18:35.247-07:00It is so refreshing to hear men preach the biblica...It is so refreshing to hear men preach the biblical doctrines of grace; calvinism is seen as a bad thing in some circles of Christianity. Those who hold to the free will theology reject what Calvin taught, even though what he taught did not originate with him. The apostle Paul taught it long before Calvin did, Ephesians 2:8-9 is the key verse to understanding salvation and how it comes about...grace, grace, grace. You may be interested in reading a book written by Dr. James Boice entitled 'whatever happened to the gospel of grace?', it is a wonderful read.<br /><br />I look forward to listening to this sermon! lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418345528794992198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-56033042467330879722012-10-19T10:19:43.742-07:002012-10-19T10:19:43.742-07:00So TRUE Ma!

Sometime next year I'll be moving east, so I won't get to visit there again after that, but thankfully Sermon Audio has lots of sermons given by him, and lots of other gifted servants that are cataloged there.

I'm glad you have been ...Grace never gets old!<br /><br />I'm glad you have been blessed at this church. As much as I don't think "going to church" is required, it can be quite a good thing.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380432930727921469noreply@blogger.com
