As much as ongoing Christianity wishes to explain away the adherence to the ecclesiastical calendar, such does not derive from an ordained NT pattern. Rather it traces back to the fancy and corruption of the church set from the first and second century when people, without Scriptural antecedent, began to uphold special religious 'holy-days' with a special service to mark different instances of the life of Christ, as his baptism, his temptations, etc... and later on his ascension and so on. Palm Sunday anchors from the medieval RC 'holy-day' order, which early English Puritans as Carthwright in his attempt to promote industry in England by eliminating the numerous existing religious 'holy-days', termed it as an item picked up from the 'dung hill of popery'
Christ signalised only one remembrance, and this was his death, and this as "often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come"
“ Thank God! ” I am so encouraged and thankful for the Lord's willingness to heal my backsliding. This message will bless anyone who is cast down and lacking hope of ever becoming conformed to His image.
Thank you, brother Lee, for that sincere burden you have shared tonight in the prayer meeting. May God bless you, and all that pray in this same spirit along you
"with the lowly is wisdom" Pro.11:2
"I will look, ... to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word" Is 66:2
"Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; ... he shall appear to your joy, ..."
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you for another excellent message. I have been richly blessed by the ministry of Rev. Mercer. May the good Lord reward you richly.
Can the admin let me know how I can so my seeds to this ministry. It is important to me.
Thank you
“ Great Sermon! ” Another enriching message. Thank God! May we all find the courage and be ready at all times to stand for Christ wherever we may find ourselves no matter the cost. Amen
“ Great Sermon! ” Listened again, challenged again, restored again. Solomon experienced the same Pentecostal power as the disciples in the upper room when the fire of God came upon them. Acts2 vs1_4
“ Great Sermon! ” Jim Lincoln stated
"Rome has denied the sufficiency and efficacy of Christ’s shed blood to expiate sin by adding a religious system of sacraments, purgatory, indulgences, and the bloodless sacrifice of the Mass."
I believe Christians are just as guilty adding or detracting from the Word of God by acknowledging Christmas, Easter SUNRISE services, New Year's Watch Night services, birthdays (the child should honor the parents), etc.
We have sinned and are still sinning. We don't really believe God.
We just keep praying to be delivered from our afflictions; which are mounting.
“ Great Sermon! ” My what a blessing to hear the truth as to why the professing church has failed, but not the true Church of the living God, the gates of hell will never prevail against it.
“ What a message! ” So blessed is an understatement. Everyone both new believers and "old believers" should listen. Must share! Thank you Father for using your servant so powerfully in delivering this message.
“ Great Sermon! ” A wonderful tribute to a great woman of God. I know the Father said, well done, good and faithful servant." Thank you for this great tribute.
“ Great Sermon! ” It's about time someone defines "first love" properly. Many nowadays put an undue burden on believers by making love, which is to be above all, sound like it is to be to the exclusion of all, and sometimes they use this passage to justify their assertions. Thank you Dr. Cairns for getting this right.
