Sunday String-Along, 9.15.24 (“Our Gifts and Callings”)

[@tonyanderson9887]

Beloved of the Lord you are such a blessing just keep on keeping on Thank you Lord Jesus x ❤️🙏

[@lindawoody8501]

Nice you played your late Uncle's Martin (wonderful sound) and the oh so nice Fairmount which I really love hearing. Good singing Doyle. Ever better. I'll remember that family who had the husband pass-away in my prayers for their family and friends. Glad you still have your Uncle's Uke. I am still learning to play my concert and baritone ukuleles. God gives us gifts to help with evangelism and edification of other Christians, and to help others live happy successful lives and same for ourselves.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen! Great comment Linda!

[@Charles-wh3sh]

Hey Brother, Extremely timely message today! And your picking... you amaze me every time. Thank you so much!!!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank You!

[@derekabrams2068]

Thank you for taking this time to share this wonderful picking and song and word. Felt the presence of the Lord this morning. What you taught this morning I felt. I love his power. It's all about Jesus Christ and you through him bring it and this edifies.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Praise the Lord!

[@CarlHasenauer]

Wow!! Powerful string a long Doyle ❤. There is no greater feeling than to feel God's presence in our soul! Thank you for your willingness to share the Lord and your talent. God bless you and your family ❤.

[@guitareveryone]

A beautiful String-Along Doyle. “This World Is Not My Home”, one of my Mom’s favourite hymns that she used to sing so much while I strummed along on the guitar. I still have those wonderful memories on cassette tapes. That touched me deeply. Thank you again for the word, the hymns and your amazingly talented guitar playing. A beautiful thing to hear in this troubled world. God bless.

[@vincentkowski8466]

Doyle - thank you for another Sunday where you bless 24,200 souls. A BIG Amen !!! and may God richly bless you.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks for listening

[@JackArmstrong-x6m]

As usual, a very moving show today, with abundant blessings and the message most appreciated. Thank you.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you too!

[@PastorCTL]

Anyone who hears you, even though they may not even know what it is called, sense something special that is on your life. When you were here with us in SC last year (and we are going to try to get you scheduled to come back for next year), I have had so many who have talked with me about you and almost 99% of the time, the first thing that most mention is the anointing they sensed when you played. I was playing for a men's group this past Friday, and they were so gracious. My playing is not even in the same universe as yours, but the greatest and most humbling compliment they gave me was that they appreciated the anointing that they felt. Brother, just as you say, and what I have endeavored to do for years, is just to yield whatever gift God has given me, back to Him! Thank you for all of the wonderful encouragement you offer so many of us! - Pastor Mike

[@doyledykesmusic]

It’s all about Him! Great to hear from you!

[@jimdavis9581]

One thing I'm sure of Bro. Doyle, God indeed made you a guitar pickin man! Thanks for being such a positive and enthusiastic witness for our wonderful Lord!

[@janetcarroll3999]

[@authenticchristianityminis4109]

Wonderful String Along! God bless you and your family. We are sure this has touched many people today. Thank you. Praise The Lord! 🙏

[@doyledykesmusic]

Praise the Lord indeed!

[@johnadamssings]

I'm feeling ovewhelmed by yet another message that seems to have been written just for me. God has given you a greater gift than guitar playing... the gift to touch people's hearts and bring them to the Lord! God bless you, Doyle!

[@doyledykesmusic]

God Bless You!

[@seanit]

What a gift and a bleassing you have Brother Doyle. Praise to God and thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus.

[@anthonypiety9468]

[@singin4joy]

I needed this so much today Doyle. You speak so clearly and lovingly right to the core of our minds. My gifts and abilities come from God and i totally agree with you on every point.

[@krissandedvincent1073]

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks for listening

[@lukeforehand8311]

One of the best String -a-longs ever. That Godin sounds AMAZING. It just may be the best sounding guitar you've got. With a name like GOD-IN ,how can it not be? Thanks.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen to that!

[@rickl27928]

Thank you so much Doyle. I am serving my church today, providing the sound for our outdoor mass for our church anniversary and later will be playing solo praise songs for our celebration. I must say I have some butterflies and uncertainty, but your message has helped tremendously and has given me courage. Thank you for giving me a message of hope. I know that God is with me. He is the reason I serve my church in music ministry. God is Good. ALL THE TIME! Bless you my friend.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen! Great comment! I’m sure it was great. Thanks so much!

[@jackhartmann1145]

[@jwright8838]

Thank you, Brother Doyle, for your encouragement and exaltation of the Lord. I know I'll probably never meet you in this world, but I look forward to praising our Lord with you in His Kingdom.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you!

[@AllenMerrell]

Thank you Doyle. Amen.

[@doyledykesmusic]

You are so welcome

[@MikeFerguson-yq2jh]

Love this wholesome entertainment, keep it up as long as the Lord lets you!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Absolutely

[@randallmauger5659]

Wonderful Doyle! You were speaking my language today about one’s “gifts”, one’s “calling”, and the difference between the two, something I’ve only recently recognized and reconciled at the age of 72.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen!

[@Fred-ee8bg]

Thank you so much for sharing what God has done in your life as a musician. It is so awesome when God shows up and you don’t. I mean I’m there, but God is in control and orchestrates everything. I’m just a by-standard learning. The amazing thing is that He wants to do it for us even though we fall short, that’s His love. I love it when I hear people talk about the power of the Holy Spirit in empowering us to live our life for Him. I can do all things through Christ strengthens me. Without God, I am nothing. My righteousness is as filthy rags.

[@markhughes5028]

I love finding corners, nooks and crannies where my guitars sing best. All that bounce and reverberation sounds so pleasing. That old Martin sounds amazing as always. Enjoyed it as I always do - picking, singing and positive message. Love it!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks for listening

[@jamesbattiest3885]

Good morning brother how you be have a blessed day lov the song you wrote it b good I pick alittle but nowhere like you

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks for listening

[@toneydavis9802]

Spirit filled lesson today. Thank you Lord for Doyle and his obedience to your will.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you!

[@fpenna56]

Listening this morning once again from Brazil in the state of Pernambuco, working with church planters and their congregations. Thanks for the encouragement to be an encourager.

[@doyledykesmusic]

My Olson is made from Pernambuco!

[@fpenna56]

@@doyledykesmusic That's why I mentioned it. I knew it would catch your attention. God bless you.

[@mtilzmusik]

Thankful for that on time word today Doyle!

[@howardmoore5931]

Doyle great pickin as always. Sunday was my birthday so this string along was special. My wife and I play some of these songs when we sing praise the Lord. And I am asking prayer for her, she is fighting breast cancer. We know the Lord is working with her to cure this disease. Thank you for your support. God’s blessings to you and your family.

[@genemadsen8141]

Thanks Doyle, Haven't heard the Song you wrote til today. As I think of your message of Gifts from God, and think of my Health issue that keeps me from playing my Guitars. You inspire me to not give up. Thank You

[@doyledykesmusic]

Never give up!

[@dalebaumgartner102]

Thank you Doyle for this important message. I have been listening to a teaching series by R. C. Sproul entitled “Knowing God’s Will”. Sproul talks about the importance of the Christian having a sense of “vocation” with respect to their life’s work: Vocation meaning more than a career, but instead, a calling to some particular occupation. Thank you for being obedient to God’s calling on your life at an early age!

[@doyledykesmusic]

RC Sproul… brilliant speaker!

[@connielipp8648]

Good Morning.. Thank you for sharing Doyle

[@doyledykesmusic]

You are so welcome

[@WilliamWSmith-yb2fl]

Love the Godin, thanks for sharing! Wish your son could join one of your string-a-longs.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Maybe one day!

[@andrewsaggrey367]

That Godin guitar smiled throughout the picking session ..Such a beautiful guitar.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Great guitar!

[@vincentkowski8466]

WOW - I must post again. The power of the Holy Spirit was really in this one. Praise the Lord !

[@doyledykesmusic]

Praise Him indeed! Thanks Vincent.

[@lindanadaud9698]

Thank you for the video.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrRiverlord999]

Lovely to hear about the camp. Mike Dawes played at our local music store a year or so before the pandemic and I didn’t go because I hadn’t heard of him at that point. I feel sure that there was a purpose in you being at the camp even if it was just to enjoy yourself! I saw Tommy a few years ago with Richard just across the border in Germany. What a night!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amazing pickers!

[@markreddoch6047]

Good morning! Another inspiring String-A-Long.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks for listening

[@unclenote]

Awesome inspirational playing !!And teaching.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you kindly!

[@johnwashburn3793]

Brother Doyle, thank you again. My wife is a bit ill today and this might be my Sunday service. I have often thought that when you think you flub up that no one would know but you and maybe someone like Tommy Emanuel. Evidently,it is only you! Praise God.

[@billisbill8341]

Happy Sunday sir Doyle

[@doyledykesmusic]

Same to you

[@beverlywahl-perkins6578]

wow , that is some nice pickin

[@Igotknobblies]

Hats off to you Doyle, your guitars are just an extension to your hands. Your playing and singing is what you'd expect from a 3 or 4 piece band. Uncut for 40 minutes with no perceptible mistakes. Unbelievable. I'm no believer but I believe you are doing good things. Wish you could come and play here in our church. I'm sure you'd swell the congregation! Keep 'em coming!

[@fknstr]

There's nothing like playing from the heart😊

[@keithryan2854]

Great String- along as always! Great message! I enjoyed having you at Metro, last Sunday! We were all blessed! Thanks again, Keith

[@thomastommy1192]

Wow, Doyle, You are getting better every day. I viewed this video Sunday but I could comment from the TV. So I came back Monday night on the computer to comment. I love your Sunday String Alongs I always enjoy them. My heart goes out to the lady in Maryland/DC that lot her husband. I know its a sad hard time for her. I live in MD also. God bless this channel and its viewers.

[@ChadRevels]

Haven’t finished this video yet, (24 minutes in) but just wanted to say thank you for sharing your talent, the gift He’s given you, and most importantly, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ! God bless you brother

[@doyledykesmusic]

I appreciate it

[@guitarman0289]

Wow! Thank you good brother… once again you’ve inspired me…. I would love to play like you, but that’s not what God gifted me to do. I have to play like God wants ME to. Guitar classes are going great here! As always, many prayers for you and your family. Be safe in your travels

[@doyledykesmusic]

Great!!

This is definitely one of my fav episodes of the SSA I've shared it with many! Keep up the awesome work for the Lord, Doyle! You're such an inspiration to me, my faith and our little ministry that uses sweet music to help folks struggling with addictions. Love to get you to visit our little town next time you're in Minnesota!

Hey Doyle - I am the friend of Ronald Robert’s who asked that you mention his passing . Richard Smith had played a house concert at my place just 4 days before Ron died. Thanks for doing that . I already spoke to Pat about your prayer and song.

[@Brian-Michigan]

My son Sean turned 19 Thursday... he got a new guitar player's bible, The Amplified Bible... he told me to tell you...I talk about your string along quite a bit...

[@doyledykesmusic]

Wonderful!! Happy birthday to Sean!

[@stanleystafford9924]

It was the right stuff today. Thanks

[@sideman7117]

Doyle, if you haven’t heard Buddy Guy’s song, “Living Proof,” check it out. It’s a great testimony. Also, I have this Buddy Guy quote on the wall: “Wherever I went, I wasn’t the best in town, but I was the best ‘til the best came around.”

[@doyledykesmusic]

Cool! Love Buddy Guy!

Good Morning, may God Bless everyone...

Hello from Switzerland🇨🇭!

[@prestonwrouse7266]

Really enjoy your show I've just picked it up about 2 or 3 Sundays now . We have a Friday night gospel singing in Vanceboro North Carolina. Most of our players are guitar players we're hoping to find a piano player soon. And we have a good time and I enjoy it.

[@Bmorrissinging]

You’re kinda fired up aren’t ya! I love the guitar picking man song!

[@wrotenberry]

Thanks Doyle!….It seams like yesterday you had 10k followers. Today you’re about to hit 25k!

[@stevepoorman9289]

Thank You Doyle. I could sense the presence of God as you spoke. You mentioned a signature model. Will that be revealed anytime soon?

[@doyledykesmusic]

Most likely

[@paulwidener5691]

Great picking awesome Godin guitar.

[@GodorWhatever]

Be free! Appreciate the vid. For better tone, use thicker strings, like 16s, but you have to tune down and use short scale. And I made the universe as kind of a toy just to have fun and support each other in, and it's kinda "my home" everyone stays in, so you can change up those lyrics to reflect that. Heaven is a misnomer - reality is bliss, but we're all estranged from it (be freeeeee!). Ever try the Taylor v class? Might make you want to go back. I super appreciate all the support, those songs, messages and dedication mean it to me. Always with y'all 🙏

[@doyledykesmusic]

Glad you’re still watching.

[@MrLabodemoza]

I have a request, it would be great if you could offer a "vintage stone wash" style Sunday String a long T-Shirt... (faded green or hazy blue)..with the vintage yellow letters.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Great idea!

[@darrylclark2318]

Nice String A Long. The old Martin always gets my special attention . If you have time sometime I would like to know what kind of work, if any, has been done to that guitar to maintain its playability through the years.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Maybe a neck reset

[@sparkx251]

Clever capo dismount 6:05....Great entertainment and refreshing sermon.

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

30;00 AMEN, I've said for many years... It's important to realize and focus on the fact that God can do more with our mistakes than we could ever do in our 'perfection'. I think it's especially true of musicians, and singers. It's our responsibility to be prepared, but we're just marking time till the anointing of the Holy Spirit shows up. And if he doesn't .. not much of anything important happens. In a church service it seems more lives have been 'changed' in an instant during worship than taking notes in a sermon. Not that the sermon isn't important.. it is very important. But we must remember it was David's music that drove the Demons away from Saul. A lot of pastors, view the music as 'going through the motions' to get people ready to hear what "great" things the preacher has to say... I'm not so sure that's very wise.

[@borov76]

[@stephenmaestas6426]

I like how the headstock matches the pick guiard on that Godin. That's a good idea. Why haven't other brands thought of that?

Where's. The. Gibson. L-5. A???

[@doyledykesmusic]

HA! I love it too!

[@Tonetwisters]

Like Peter said ... "Lord where would we go? Who else has the words of eternal life?" Not so sure that we have all been given "gifts" ... I think the Lord gives certain people gifts and callings. Applying that to all saved brothers and sisters is a very large extrapolation.

[@doyledykesmusic]

1 Peter 4:10, 1 Cor 12 Ampl

[@josephadambery6278]

Your not taking any credit for your substantial ministering on guitar over all these years prompts me to say how I feel about 'translating angels' being responsible for any measure of success our ageing choir has in connecting the good music that we attempt during Sunday mass and converting our humble efforts into musical praise. I truly believe that 'they' enhance what we do for the Lord. To Him all the glory and bless your singalongs too.

[@BobWarnerBarn]

Nice!.......................................................................
