Excellent explanation of the concepts of Grace and Law, and the necessity of both in our lives. Thank you.

Pastor Gary, the words ‘commend your loved ones to God’ really encourage my heart! I always feel so helpless when I think of what I cannot do for them ! These words bring tears to my eyes.

Pastor Gary, you are a great Bible teacher. Truly grateful for good teaching. Just love how you give background knowledge before you do the teaching. Love that you give the people the opportunity to accept the Lord Jesus as Savior. We really need Christians pastors who will speak truth from the Bible so people can repent and live for Jesus. God bless you. Will continue to pray for you.

Praise God Praise God Praise God, its not my will, but His, Jesus Christ, and what HE DID, for you, and for me, on that old rugged cross. He paid my sin debt i could never pay for. Its not my goodness, for there's none in me, but HIS goodness and grace, is enough for all, we just need to accept what He did. Jesus precious blood paid it ALL. If you don't know Him, and haven't accepted His grace, I implore you to ask His forgiveness today, believe in your heart, He came, died on the cross in your place, and believe God raised Him from the grave, for our sins. For tomorrow may be to late. God sends no one to hell, we send ourself if we refuse to believe and accept what Jesus did for us on the cross.

Pastor, I always had ear abcesses and my mum would go to neighbours and relatives for advice...Im 76 now, so as a toddler she took me to an ex P.O.W.Dr. who was used to treating without anaesthetics. I was a toddler and he put a metal cone thing in my ear and lanced it. I couldnt hear myself screaming but his wife came running down the stairs in dressing gown and slippers and she grabbed me and hugged me. Next time mum tried to take me there I recognized the way and I jumped out of the pram and my 8 month pregnant mun had to chase and catch me. She got the message and I never saw him again. My right ear drum is scarred and the left is collapsed in at the bottom. I use subtitles on movies and a JBL speaker to hear you properly. Praise God for bringing me through and for His kindness to you too.

[@someguy9519]

All the operations you had when young tells me you suffered a lot...thats so common with those who love the LORD. Satan knows and attacks from early in life

There were many teaching other than the gospel before Jesus! And he's not funny!

[@eternalardour]

gospel is just the first four books in NT
