Escondido United Reformed Church

This sermon is highly encouraging me in how much the Lord loves and cares for me, knowing I deserve and merit none of His care. Reverend Gordon has amazing skill to bring us into the times of the Scripture and to give us a picture of character of Bible people.

The Lord is using this to ignite my faith to a greater flame. The encouragement and teaching is SO GOOD.

Please note, it is Mr. John Kirby who is preaching this sermon, not me-Drew Tilley. Though, the sermon title is ironic given that it is mistakenly attributed to me. :)

Thank you for the reminder of what WE are to be doing- heralds for the Living God and Saviour Jesus Christ. This has become a great reminder for me as time goes on, Revelation 7:9–10 (ESV) 9After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Thank you for this message of encouragement.

I have had several of these sermons transcribed, but funds are not available any longer it would be great if your church would allow giving by non-members and members to provide denotations to ease the burdened of getting this series in print.

Thank you for this wonder series- very encouraging and insightful, not to mention spot on!

We just finished reading of Joseph and his life in Genesis. What a great review and insightful message from Dr. Ferguson to help us in the big picture! of ahain

Much needed to help me see the need for Jesus to open my eyes and ears, and loose my tongue.

I am starting a small group study on Psalms and I am using Dr Godfrey’s “Learning to love the Psalms” so I decided to see if he had other messages on specific psalms. I am grateful for his teaching and preaching!

Very clear and helpful exposition!

Dr Godfrey - I have just listened to your sermon 'Reformed Today', I listened twice and wrote down every word. I have been searching for a theme for a book that I am writing about moving from South Africa to the USA. It suddenly dawned on me that your statement that the Biblical Refomed Faith is not sentimental but tough because we live in a tough world. We are in the now and the not yet. That is the theme I would like to use for my book. I do not want to plagiarise your sermon but I want it to be the background for the reason God's providence has given me the life that He has. If I quote you, I will do all the correct literary things by acknowlege your words and send every word of yours that I use for your permission. I also do dot want to misquote you are use anything that you said in a way that you did not intend. I do not want to take up your busy time but I just wanted to run it by you and of corse Sola Deo Gloria. Ann Carter, Dallas, TX

Excellent sermon. It is a real shame that so many in the CRC are no longer observing the Sabbath as they once did. The Sabbath Day is indeed a precious and ongoing gift of God to His covenant community.

This is wonderful sermon. Sadly, even among the Reformed, there has been a growing lack of appreciating the significance of the gift of God to his church. The congregation whose ethos was a living expression of this view of the Sabbath would truly be something to experience. This sermon isn't the typical polemic for the Lord's Day. It is sound exposition grounded in a truly covenantal understanding of creation, life, and salvation delivered with the kind of pastoral oversight that only a mature shepherd can bring to the sheep he loves. True reformation and revival begin here, that is with a God given understanding of the Sabbath like this.
