Years ago I was raised under a Minister who had not the proper seminary schooling....yet his church was full and talking expansion....he spent much time in prayer and especially before preaching the message given at the moment needed....not found in the flyers handed out going in the church....we got out when he was done ...not at noon.I was able to sit under great Ministers throughout the years that you knew were filled with the Holy Ghost. Praise God for his blessings!Now, I sit under Ministers who I wonder if they pray at all. We are taught....and no preaching to be found. How my soul has hungered for years.Now...here...I can hear for the first time for most....sermons from the great Preachers. What food for the soul!!!!My God bless the brothers and sisters whom downloaded these sermons for us to fed on!Hopefully soon God will finish the task for which he called me too and I ran away from when I was young and stupid. For the Lord has called me to become a Minister....and soon I know...he will bring about the funds to clear up the past of debts and provide the funds to send me to seminary. Then...like George Mueller...I will pray much, preach his message given and take no salary from the church....but let God provide. Ted Smith once told Jonnie Tada, "Most people look at the problems mounting up and glance up to God. Won't it be great if more people would keep looking to God and only glance at the problems?"Please keep me in your prayers that I follow God and all goes to his glory.PJPJ

Oh boy, where do I start? Although I was raised in church, looking back I am certain most of the messages were from Readers Digest for all the content they had. I left church at age 18 against the wishes of my Mom, but there was nothing their for me. 18 yrs later I returned to church with my girlfriend (now wife) and was blessed greatly by a number of preachers. Now I'm blessed again here at SI. Here I recieve the basics, from the greats.I am at this time prepairing for open heart surgery later this summer, and will be prepared with a large number of downloaded sermons to listen to while recuperating. Please keep me in prayer as I take this journey with my Lord to greater places in Him.In Christ Alone,Dave

Bless God for you as well PJ.There's actually three ways we can tell Greg Gordon and all the moderator's how blessed we are by this 21st century cyber ekklesia....public:Greg, God bless you and all the moderators.in secret prayer.and by becoming a monthly partner, I dont know the button, but you can become a sermonindex monthly partner and support this ministry, I do.Its very easy via a secure penpal link.its not a lot, but if every member prayfully considering supporting this worldwide ministry..so many will continue to be blessed. ...........amen and amen.

I'm having a big problem with Sermonindex right now. It's too enjoyable!! I can't get any work done around the office! I mean it was bad enough when I was listening to the incredible catalog of excellent sermons. Now I'm discovering that I can fellowship with brothers and sisters from all over the planet! There are all of these interesting and uplifting conversations going on with people who really love the Lord. It's really becoming a problem for me. :-) I think I'm going to have to buy one of those beverage hats they sell at football games, (filled with Gatorade) to keep from dehydrating at the keyboard. Maybe SermonIndex could manufacture it's own as it's first piece of licensed merchandise. It could have John 4:13-14 stamped on the side...Great job, Greg, Mike, and Jeremy.Now I'm off to try another Bonhoeffer quote on Philologos...MC

I was in backslidden state when my google search ended up at Sermonindex! Finney’s Lecture on Revival was posted by then and as I read it the Lord actually broke me down that I couldn’t work and had to take a leave to make repentance. Eversince, my life has been transferred from Death to Life (All Glory be to God!) and I hold Sermonindex and the persons behind it very dear. I take things for granted and forgot to pray for this site until Mike posted his WARNING thread.Let's all pray for our brothers behind this site.Your Sis.Mekdes

Internet forums are my pulpit. I've been doing this for about 6 years or so, maybe more. I can tell you that I have not found such an uncompetitive Spirit led forum on the internet. There is a level of maturity here that I really enjoy. I think the main reason is because we have great mentors here in these saints gone by who have left a legacy of truth that is inarguably Holy Spirt inspired. The church in this hour does not need a vision of the furture, but a vision of the past. We need to go back to prayer over our messages and proclaim and lead a church that is ready to live like the bible says, rather than what is popular. To all posters, I commend you on being able to share the truth in love. You bless my soul day by day and I am honored to be in your fellowship. Thanks be to God.

I love this site, and I have met many different people who have blessed me. I learn from people like philologos and some of the moderators. I enjoy crossing swords with others... especially Neilgin1... even tho he and I seem to be at each others throats from time to time... he's a lot of fun to discourse with (I love ya, brother! Are you down "wid dat"??). I also enjoy bubbaguys posts... and one thing I can say about him is that he is consistantly inconsistant! LOL ... just pokin' a little fun atcha, bubba!I especially appreciate the freedom the moderators give on this site to really express ourselves, and that they do at times step in when necessary. All of us can get our noses bent from time to time... and they do a good job of bringing everyone back down to earth.Good site... hope it keeps going!Krispy

Well, I don't post very often, but I do come to the site quite a bit, when I have the time.I've downloaded numerous sermons and videos.I given these out to some brothers at my Church, and now, they visit the site.Anyway, I can't even begin to express my thanks and heartfelt gratitude for everyone that has anything to do with this site. I've worked in the Web Design Business, and Technical Support Industry for years, so I know what it takes to maintain a site like this.Thanks to All! And May God Bless you Richly!Oh, and one more thing, I sense the Holy Spirit here in many of the posts and comments. It is truly a joy.

Thanks,Reminds me of the by Ray Boltz song "Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed."I knew nothing about revival.Thorugh sermonindex I know enough about revival to set my heart to pray for revival.Thorugh sermonindex, I know enough about the condition of the lost to have a burden for them.Through sermonindex, holiness isn't a taboo word, it's beauty, it's a way of life, a life that my soul desires.How does one put a price on a changed life? I don't know.I thank God for using sermonindex to change me.Richard

This site has blessed me so much and given me a hunger for a "straight word" from the Lord. Oh how I love the sword to come because I know that when it comes it's going to cut something off and continue to change my heart.I can remember when a straight word was preached in many churches when I was a kid and SI has bridged the gap for those who didn't have this privilege of hearing the unvarnished word because the famine of the word of the Lord.I thank God for SI. It's been a life saver, both in the present age and the age to come for me.

Wow, well... where do I start? Next month will be a year since I've been actively involved with this site. I stumbled across it during a time in my life when... I needed revival in my heart, and didn't know it. It was after meeting Greg and fellowshiping with one of our pastors again, Josh Olson www.openarmsinc.com back in September that I realized how far away from the Lord I had gotten. And that's when He started calling me back.As God started changing my heart and restoring and rebuilding my spiritual life, I actually took the time to listen to the sermons on here. The one that impacted me the most was David Wilkerson's A Habitation of God. And then even more recently, God's helped me gain an understanding on the whole subject of revival and has actually helped me see the need for it in each one of our lives. Afterall, I've just been revived myself! So now I am praying for revival in the heart's of others.I'm excited to see what further plans God has for this site. It's been a great source of fellowship and encouragment and God has let it play a part in changing my heart.

1. I have been rebuked on this site Cuz I deserved it on 2 or 3 occasions... that helped me actually :-P 2. I have downloaded all of Wilkerson's sermons and listened to allot of Carter Conlon and of course The Tozer not to mention a pinch of Ray Comfort. All have really helped me allot.3. The knowledge that I’m not the Only Christian... I don't have allot of fellowship right now and some of the inspired word that comes from you guys and gals really help a brother out ;-) So Yes God has used Sermon Index for the good of his people... Please keep up the good work.Amen

I am thankful for such a good site. The sermons by Keith Daniel, Leonard Ravenhill, and others have really rekindled a fire of revival in me. May it continue to grow until we see God stir our nation unto repentance. Praise the Lord for such a good sight. It's great to have a sight that actually posts the holiness preaching available here. Many of the posters here seem to be really open to following God and seeking for revival. Thank you for the fellowship.Kendal

This sight has been an immense blessing, I particularly have been blessed by J. Edwards "Sinners in the Hands.." I like to put up the text while I'm listening to get the full effect. I have to say I've read as much as I've listened, I also have gotten alot of "meat" from Wilkerson's "Call to Anguish" and Ravenhill's " Judgement Seat.." Thank you for this site and I hope many more will continue to be blessed by it.Rich

I enjoy this site mainly because of the sermons. I have been completely changed because of the preaching. I love the forums because sometimes i feel like the prophet that thought he was the only one. But then God told him he had some that had not bowed. I sometimes feel as thought the only christian around that sees the way the house of God is and how different it is even from 50 years ago. I just thank you all for being here.

I just want to express gratitude for a place where i can learn and grow and there are no pretenses. I can ask questions that to some might seem basic becuase of the way that they were raised and no looks down on me for not having the answer. Its a place where i can share what is on my heart and recivec encouragment from voices from the past. It has been convicting, inspiring and in the few months that I have been a part of SI it has stirred a dormant passion that i thoght i had lost. It is so wonderful to find a place that houses so mant great sermons and then allows you discuss the impact those sermons have made on you. I love it! I love the people involved in it. Not because there is a degree of anonimity to thier persona and i can genricly say i love you, but because without knowing what they look like, who they work for, where they go to church or any thing other than thier corny nicknames, there is a community of believers sharing and growing together. It has been a joy! YOu have all been a blessing.
