Encouraged Brother--I recently listened to your 2009 series "Christ builds his church." Thank you. It encouraged me greatly.

Great Sermon! What an encouraging sermon to humble oneself before the Lord, seeking a deeper presence of Christ. If you want to learn more about fasting and be motivated to fast, then let me recommend this sermon.
Informative Sermon! This sermon opened up my interest in Richard Baxter and I intend to read some of his writings. He definitely had a strong desire to teach people to seek a better understanding of the Gospel, and I am certain I'll get some good from reading his books.
Great Sermon! Thought provoking message for the modern church
Wow, you have challenged the ideas regarding US support to Israel, immigration policy and professional football all in the same sermon! The depth of the doctrine of the Eighth Commandment against theft is truly amazing.
Great Sermon! Home sick today. Enjoyed this message on the Deity of Christ. I have a brother in CA who is a JW(sort of, long story), but I'm always looking for new things to say to him on this topic. You are right, not many childrens' books point to Christ in the creation account, and yet it is so clear. It's good to know there is a place to worship if I visit CA. Thank you for your service to Christ and his Church in CA.
Great Sermon! Unfortunately I could not hear your sermon in person. Praise be to God that we have such technology that your sermons are still able to be heard by anyone, anywhere.
Great Sermon! Will you go away? (a) Many NT Jews would have been stunned to hear Jesus advise them to “eat My flesh and drink My blood” (John 6:53) since this was forbidden by OT law. (b) The large party that heard Jesus require them to “eat My flesh and drink My blood,” “went away and returned no more.” (John 6:66). (c) Though many disciples departed from Jesus, He didn’t beckon them to clarify their understanding of John 6:53. (d) Thus, Jesus was meaning “eat My flesh and drink My blood” (John 6:53) to be understood literally. (e) Isn’t one who also rejects Jesus and won't "eat My flesh and drink My blood," actually denying Christ and losing his life? May we never go away from Christ. Thank you Pastor Eshelman!
Great Sermon! Some call it intense...I call it the Gospel. Challenging question for believers. I thank God that Jesus Christ has already given the answer. He has the Words of Eternal Life.
Thanks Pastor Nathan
Enjoying this relevant series! Really enjoyed this sermon. How often we still pursue for meaning and gain outside of Christ. Thanks for bringing the Gospel to our hearts.
Great Christ-centered Application Thank you Pastor Eshelman, for serving the church and preaching the word. You have shown clearly how faith is to be mixed with the imperative! How to be a living sacrifice by walking in the Spirit of Christ! Compelling and convicting.
Great Sermon! We don't hear much about this today! And I thought it was great when you connected the RPCNA missional history with their efforts to call the Jews to repentance. Good stuff.
Well done good and faithful servant! Mr. Wilbur Aikin went to be with the Lord on Dec. 19. 2009. Some of his last words included prayers for the growth of the Los Angeles congregation. He will be greatly missed and his affect on the lives of the LA RPC members will last for generations.
Response to Chris' Question 2 I hope that you gleaned more from the message than the few theological problems that RB had. I truly believe that he has a lot to model our outreach and our commitment to the communities after. Baxter has been a great influence on me through his Directory as well as his treatise on heaven. He is worth working through.
