My Ordination at Christ Independent Baptist Church
I was fishing through a drawer here at the house and found an old cassette tape that contained the two sermons preached on the Sunday of my ordination! A good friend of mine and member of the church, De Wayne Rawlings, converted the taped sermons to a digital format. Here they are for those interested:
Sunday, May 13,1999 AM Service: Text II Cor. 4:1-7 by Pastor Peter Petrovich — Click to hear: “That the Excellency of the Power May be of God”
2Co 4:1-7 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Sunday, May 13, 1999 PM Service: Text I Peter 4:17-18 by Pastor David Peterman — Click to hear: “Judgment Must Begin” Outline of the message available here.
1Pe 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
