Apple Valley Presbyterian Church, OPC

Hi Pastor Dan, After visiting your Church many months ago, my wife Sanda and I listened to your series on Daniel 7. It brought great clarity, and I'm now forwarding it to another Brother. Just wanted to say thank you & God bless! Andrew

As I listened to this word I was struck by the dark cloak of deception that is worn by so many who have authority over their congregations . I regularly call out the format, procedure and tradition that weighs down our Church. This word is powerful and its refreshing to hear the Truth spoken with such ease and clarity. May God bless you brother . Please do come to out Church in Toronto, Canada if you are ever in the area.

Good gospel nails

Like a well sharpened accurately aimed and fast arrow, it will wake up the self deceived and lost. Will become a prayer of repentance.

This sermon needs to be heard. The Devil is bound the gospel has free reign now.

Pastor Hartley..absolutely Gospel centered Christ Glorifying and riveting sermon. My lack of love and understanding is in need of grace and Christian Commission is exposed

Thank you, Pastor John, for bringing light to this passage.

IRev. Confusion over these matters is a fast rising tide and your sermon is a clear help in response. Bob shared it with us today and I’ve already shared it friend thank you, Al Holda, hope you are well

This verse gives Christians the motivation to endure whatever suffering God's providence has decreed for them, humbly accepting it as from His good hand. I found it very helpful for what I am going through now. To God be the glory for leading me to this sermon,

Enjoyed your sermon very much! I'm going through infidelity problems in my marriage of 10 yrs. it has been so very hard to deal with but God can do ALL THINGS, Please keep my precious wife, Lisa and me in your prayers. May God bless you and keep you. Your brother in Christ, Jesus, Gary

The theme of this sermon is gratitude. I found the comments about Esau and his ingratitude a lesson for myself. I would like to note that the appeal to young people is strong but full of substance. How many times have you seen Christians wringing their hands about young people turning away from Christ? We all know the statistics of the young people raised in Christian homes and Christian churches that forsake the Church when they become adults. Mr. Hartley addresses this problem straight on without mentioning the dire situation. Rather he calls them to gratitude for the gift that was given to them. This should be a real call to the Christian walk for all who believe not just young people. Listen to this sermon and you will hear of Christ. Very good.

What is the City of God? How many Christians live firmly in the City of Man? I struggle with these questions. Here you will find a strong call to make Christ your provision. Here the doctrine of separation is articulated and encouraged. Even if you, like I do, subscribe to this doctrine, there is much difficulty in the proper application of the doctrine. I wish there were more focus on how to be strangers and sojourners in this land. This sermon will prove worthwhile to all those who are now struggling with how to live now, today. I encourage the reader to listen.
