Merrimack Valley Baptist Church

A 5 point discussion of the ascension of Christ.

Pastor Larry gives his perspective on this scene in the gospel regarding Jesus casting out demons. He draws on his rich personal experience of the holy land. I was led to reflect upon Jesus speaking directly to the demon ( a practice that I had previously considered improper).

Biblical historic back ground to the denials of Peter. Very interesting.

I always find mr clouse really interesting. He has such a vivid historical biblical understanding of the text. Lovely sermon.

Very good helpful message on love- a verb not an adjective. Really needed to hear this message Thankyou

Thankyou for this sermon- I learned loads. I had never heard the theory that rev 4-5 refers to the church in heaven after the rapture before. I checked it out with John woolvord and yep his teaching is the same and I must have read around 10 books on the subject. Very helpful teaching !

I loved this sermon- not sure if pastor clouse is a Jewish convert as he has a handle on the holy land.

Outstanding biblical perspective that marriage lasts "until death do us part"! The vow is never "until divorce do us part," though many pastors are very confused on this doctrine. Thank you Pastor Clouse!

Enjoyed the message, learned lots, but also feel that Pastor Larry has lots to learn to about Pentecostal doctrine. I do agree that there are many out there making a show of signs and wonders, it doesn't mean that you attack the word of God because you are uncomfortable with it. I would recommend that Pastor Larry read a small book by Glen McLean, "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" may be tough to get. Try Eston College in Eston Saskatchewan Canada.

I enjoyed this well needed sermon. The only comment that troubled me by Pastor Larry was that he stated that Paul had been converted by Stephen's preaching?? I do not see that as we read Acts 7, 8 and 9. No where in our Lord's Holy Word are we are told that this is when Paul was converted. Other than that it is a sermon well needed for today with all the false teaching that is out there today.

Rating: 7/10. I'm not sure if I agree 100%, but I can't see he made any contradictions of the Word.

Thank you for your enlightening study on ACTS -- you've encouraged me to study ACTS more closely. I've been born-again for 20 years and I keep learning and growing in Jesus. God Bless you and I'll listen to all your studies on this internet site.

For a while, I attended Merrimack Valley Baptist Church, and I became good friends with Pastor Larry Clouse. He is a great man of God who has not only spent much time in diligent study of God's word, but also abroad on the missionary field for many years. His sermon on charismaticism was excellent, as I came out of the Pentecostal/charismatic background. Pastor Larry has a heart for the truth and for expositional preaching, and in this sermon he has clearly shown how unbiblical, unscriptural, and ungodly the charismatic movement is, all the while balancing this biblical criticism with positive teaching of what the Bible DOES teach concerning these most important matters. Again, I cannot thank Pastor Larry Clouse enough for his personal friendship, guidance, and excellent teaching, preaching, profound love for Christ, for the church, a heart for the lost, and his overall Christ-like demeanor and joy.

Thank you for the simple and clear sermon on Body, Soul and Spirit that I have ever heard in a sermon format. I am 75 years old and a christian since March 8 1972 and during this time I have heard very few, if any, sermons on this specific topic The knowledge of this subject brings clarity to a subject that is misunderstood or unknown by so many I had gained much of my former information from the writings of Watchman Nee in his fine book The Spiritual Man. This sermon however brought it together in a simple and useful way. Sincerely Dick

Pastor Larry has just hit the devil square between the nose!! Having come out of the word-faith movement, we know first hand that what he is teaching is pure truth. It is a false movement, it is demonic and we applause him for being bold enough to stand up for the truth to warn people. If people would read their Bibles and use their concordances and NOT go by the foot notes of some persons opinion, they'd see it for themselves. They are playing in the devils den and don't even know it. His sheep hear His voice and for those who are in this movement, you had better be on your knees earnestly seeking His truth. It is of the WRONG spirit. Study your Bible and you will see for yourself. They are wolves in sheeps clothing, they are false prophets coming with false doctrine. Lying signs and wonders. Miracle seekers. Name it claim it, health, wealth and prosperity bunch. Its ALL FALSE. Jesus tells you to beware and not to be deceived. Is this stuff real???? You bet it is. We were in this so called word-faith movement for years!!! How'd we get out or realize it was TOTALLY FALSE AND OF THE DEVIL?? We read our Bible and we prayed. We are His true sheep and we heard His voice!!! Follow up on that "check" that you keep getting. God bless you Pastor Larry!!
