“ Moving Sermon! ” Patrick Hamilton, a Scottish churchman and young nobleman of royal descent,willingly gave his life for the gospel of Christ and was the first martyr of the Reformation in Scotland. This sermon tells his story and offers to all the same gospel that he died to bring to his countrymen.
“ Rousing Sermon! ” This sermon is about the life and conversion of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and martyr for Jesus Christ. It includes a rousing call to believe the same gospel that Thomas Cranmer believed, and to like faithful service to Christ in our generation. Highly recommended!
“ Great Lecture! ” We should all be so thankful for the legacy of William Tyndale, which is nothing less than the Bible in English!
Living in exile and hunted by those who did not want the Bible to be available to the people in their own language, he endured great hardships and even gave his life so that the Word of God would be available to his fellow countrymen. Most of what we read in the King James Version is his translation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. How we should thank God for how He used this brave and godly man!
“ Love This Sermon! ” Exhilarating account of the life of Martin Luther and preaching of the thrilling truth which changed not only his life, but also the world!
“ Powerful Sermon! ” What is the kingdom of God, and how will it be brought about? What is your duty in regard to it? This sermon answers these questions, and more!
“ Outstanding Lecture! ” Outstanding lecture on the life of the pre-reformer, John Wycliffe, the "Morning Star" of the Reformation. Highly recommended!
“ Great Sermon! ” This a useful sermon for clearing up common misconceptions concerning oaths and vows. Pastor Silversides plainly shows what oaths and vows are, their lawfulness, uses, and obligation, as well as the care with which they should be used and kept. Very practical!
“ Great Sermon! ” Excellent introduction to the topic of covenanting, as well as to the Solemn League and Covenant. This sermon clearly sets forth the historical background of the SLC and also its biblical basis. May the Lord give those of us who hold to the Covenant grace to remain faithful until the Lord grants our people repentance for their covenant breaking!
“ Great Sermon! ” Yes, may God give us grace to hallow His name in this evil day. It's so sad to see how even professing Christians treat His great name with irreverence! This sermon should cause us all to examine ourselves to discover how we may be dishonoring our blessed Saviour.
“ Doctrinal and Practical! ” Pastor Beers shows in this sermon that as Christ humbled himself by taking on human flesh, so ought we to humble ourselves. Also, we love this quote from the sermon: "In his life, Christ kept the law; in his death, Christ silenced the law." Great quote!
“ Important Message! ” Pastor Silversides does a wonderful job of showing the superiority of the Scottish Psalter to all other English metrical translations of the Psalms. Our Psalter is a true gem of exceeding excellence! It is also true that in a time such as our own, when the church is so weak and fragmented, we should cleave to the good things we have received from the times when the church was stronger and more unified, such as the Authorized Version of the Bible and the Scottish Psalter, not to mention faithful church standards such as those produced by the Westminster Assembly. Now is not the time for novelty and innovation, but rather for walking in the old paths!
“ Great Sermon! ” Excellent introduction to exclusive psalmody! In addition to the irrefutable argument Pastor Silversides makes for the exclusive use of the inspired Psalter in worship, we would like to add that singing the Psalms has been of tremendous spiritual benefit to us. We've been singing the Psalms for about eighteen years, and as our knowledge and understanding of the Psalms has grown, we've found them to be a means of increasing our understanding of the rest of the Bible, as well. Our faith in and love for the Saviour has deepened so much as a result. We can't imagine ever going back to man-made hymns again!
“ Great Sermon! ” The Bible teaches the Regulative Principle of Worship, which can be summarized as requiring scriptural warrant for every element of worship. Even what is not forbidden in scripture must be omitted if not commanded. God has revealed how he desires us to worship Him in scripture, and if we love Him we will want to worship Him in the way which pleases Him, not in the way which pleases us. Also, our understanding of who God is and what He is like is shaped by our worship of Him, so it is of utmost importance to follow His instructions in order to avoid slipping into subtle forms of idolatry as we form false conceptions of God through false, man-made worship practices. Pastor Silversides vigorously and plainly sets forth this Regulative Principle of Worship as it is revealed in the Bible. Must listening for any Christian who wishes to worship God in Spirit and in truth!
“ Great Sermon! ” Pastor Silversides presents in this sermon a well reasoned defense of the necessity of creeds and confessions, and also holds forth the excellency of the Westminster Confession of Faith. For a church to state that it believes the Bible or believes in Jesus is too ambiguous, as even many of the cults will say as much. It is necessary to clearly state what a church believes the Bible teaches, which is one of the purposes fulfilled by the Westminster Confession.
Pastor Silversides urges everyone to read the Westminster Confession, and we agree! If you've never read it, you'll be amazed at what a helpful guide it is to understanding biblical teaching!
“ Excellent Sermon! ” In this sermon Pastor Silversides makes an invincible defense of the King James/Authorized Version, clearly showing the superior accuracy and reliability of the KJV over all modern "translations." Furthermore, he demonstrates that the necessity of reliance upon the Received Text of scripture and not upon newly discovered manuscripts is a doctrinal matter which all Christians can understand, regardless of whether or not they have knowledge of the original languages. Finally, Pastor Silversides discusses how the modern versions have only increased the confusion and disunity of today's church. If we may make our own observation, it seems evident to us that we Christians are facing grave dangers as Muslims and Roman Catholics flood into our countries, and that we must be praying and working for unity based on the truth of God's word if we are to stand against the perils we are sure to soon encounter. How can we do this if we can't even agree on what the word of God is? May God lead all of those who have departed from his truth in search of novelties to repentance!
“ Classic! ” We first heard this sermon about fifteen years ago when we were new to the Reformed faith. A friend who had recently visited in the Loughbrickland congregation gave it to us on cassette tape! We have listened to this sermon many times since, and always find it to be not only profitable, but thrilling! Thank you, Pastor Silversides, and much thanksgiving also to our Sovereign Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
“ Exhilarating! ” This "practical" sermon is more than practical, it's exhilarating! What a glorious future awaits the church on earth as all the kings and nations of the world come to serve her glorious head and promote her advancement in the world!
