Hi Pastor Mike, Just wanted to say that this sermon series is a blessing. Thank you

I never understood what “I’m dead to sin” meant. I never comprehended the beauty of what “I’m alive to Christ” expressed. I thought it was a command, something I should strive for, something I should gain thru time and the Christian walk. I have learned that these are promises of God of my real, practical, effectual spiritual, current condition and are a “done deal” reality that gives me a starting point, not a future goal. What a wonderful position we have in Christ! My old man was crucified with Christ and when he “speaks” anymore, or demands dominion, it is a lie. A lie can no more keep my in its bondage, than a spider web can ensnare a horse! In the same way, someone who is in Christ has his abiding power, if they believe God keeps his promises. Thank you for your clear teaching!

This sermon has one incredible message after another. I have “stumbled” upon this speaker and have listened to dozens of his sermons. Each one is more powerful than the last! Thank you for your clear, engaging, convicting, practical and illustrative preaching of God’s Holy Word! I am so blessed by your ability to present the beauty and glory of our God! This entire series is refreshment for the soul and humble communion with the LORD!

Great sermon, and so very needed in my life right now.

Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Praises unto our God. Heavenly Father, break us. We are a stiff-necked people. You've told us to pray. Now, even now. In your severe judgment remember mercy. Thank you pastor Phil Jones. Thank you for submitting this needful word of encouragement. May God be manifested and glorified in the whole earth.

Blessed to listen to this in Jerusalem! Having a great trip. Challenge to our walking endurance. Wonderful instruction along the way.

Rhank you for this wonderful sermon. Great reminders. Well done!

Did not see the comment about the missing sermons until this week (7/25/16). I am in the process of adding the missing sermons to complete the series.

I've admired Derek from afar for a while. This is the first teaching of his that I've heard. Thanks Derek for your diligence to the Word. Any other readers of comments or there, let me add This is worth your time to listen!

So enjoyed the depth of this sermon. That I would desire to live a live focused on reaching for Gods glory and not self!

Great message and fully centred on God's precious powerful Word. HOW PRIVILEGED YOUR OWN PEOPLE MUST BE TO RECEIVE YOUR VALUABLE MINISTRY WEEK AFTER WEEK.. May God continue to bless your excellent ministry Phil. MY LIFE IS BLESSED EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHING. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY. DO NOT BE DOWN HEARTED GOD WILL WORK WONDERS IN THE LIVES OF YOUR CONGREGATION . HIS WORD NEVER RETURNS TO HIM WITHOUT ACHIEVING ITS PURPOSE TO GLORIFY HIM.

How important this message is Phil for a dying world and a church in bewilderment and delusion and dare I say it lazy and as you say a church which is more or less aaying "I will not bother you Satan if you do not bother me" So we are tempted to simply receive good food and then keep it to ourselves and not share the Word of God to a hungry and dissatisfied world who simply look at the Church of God and see little difference to themselves in their unconverted state. The devil lost at Calvary and we need to pull our socks up and live in the light of that truth and witness bravely and faithfully and by God;s grace and power push forward for God and not sit at ease in Zion. Thank you so much Phil you are so helpful to elderly mature but not so mature that we are not able to learn so much more.

SEND ME A BUNDLE OF YOUR EVANGELISM MATERIALS IF YOU CAN SPARE THEM FOR ME TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS IN MY CHURCH TO EVANGELISE. THANK YOU

Phil your ministry is so empowered because you always give Him the glory. Your ministry enables me for live out my life with complete confidence in God and His infallible always up to date Word. THANK YOU LORD. Thank you Phil.
