Great Sermon! Salvation is a gift determined by the giver, their faith was in their own works because they are blinded by sin and never understood. You must be born again, if they were born again they would never even mention any good works that they may have done, regardless of how great their works may have been. The finished work of Christ is what saves us. Good works naturally follow, but no true believer will take credit for any work of God...
Great Sermon! Moreover, brethern, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual meat, and did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ,.But with many of them God was not well pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our example, to to intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. (1 Corinthians 10:1-6) AV.

By way of general comment - the thrust of the sermon is that people may think they are converted because they are genuinely engaging in christian activities, but the fact that they are not truly converted is evidenced in their refusal to actually do the will of God.
Interesting Sermon! It seems to me that although he mentioned conversion in the beginning as the issue underlying phantom faith, he majored on the works of people as though that is the reason. Faith without works is dead, very true. But works without saving faith is likewise dead. I find that there are not many paedobaptist ministers that focus on being born again. That is the issue here. When a person is genuinely born again, they have God's Spirit whom enables them to follow Christ and to obey His commands, not perfectly yet truly. Infant baptism causes many to presume to be Christian when in fact many are not.
Great Sermon! This series is so challenging and inspirational. Thank you so much Pastor Quigley. I am listening to each sermon at least twice before going on to the next. No. 4 today. Press on!
Very encouraging! Through this sermon, even while in the midst of pain, I could better "see" pain and suffering from an eternal perspective, to see more clearly the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Great Sermon! Pastor, you are such a blessing. God is using you and your sermons to increase my knowledge in God and show me how to walk out my faith.
Great Sermon! This was a very good sermon. I appreciated that this pastor went through the possible reason's why michal despised david. it is the reason i went looking for a sermon on this as this was my reading lesson this morning. I agree that it was because she was not loved but a trophy. That's probably why God commanded men to love their wives because despising and contempt are usually the results. She however was the one punished because david's praise for the Lord was right. found the last part of the sermon very thought- provoking. I think a lot of the church despises the Lord's ways and have lost their love for Him.
Great Sermon! Hi. Please download this series. It will bless you by giving you a reminder, or a better understanding of who God is and I promise you will not regret it. Even if we think we know God it can only do us good to think of who he is and remind ourselves of God's character and let ourselves trust in him and rest in him. Peace and Joy brothers and sisters in Christ.
Great Sermon! What an eye opening sermon. I always wanted to here about this verse in Matthew, in detail. I now know I need to look within myself, and more importantly towards JESUS. May WE ALL surrender completely. Bless this ministry.
Great Sermon! A great sermon on that wonderful verse:Love that issues from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Heed the Word of God in this beautiful sermon. O Lord help us to love. Give us of your Spirit whose fruit is love.
