I'm a lawyer in DC and I've greatly enjoyed 4 of your MP3 sermons in my two hour daily commute: 2 sermons on the Trinity, Rest for the Weary; and Toxic Religion, and Ive enjoyed some of your sermons in print too. God bless you, whoever you are -- "theocentric"

Hi. Hope you don't mind me not posting my email address. I read your message on the identity of Jesus and his forgiving the sins of the paralytic. My friend, you have a gift! I do hope you will continue to write/record your messages. And I also hope that someone or somechurch is allowing you to preach your messages. Rich: Joe, thanks for the gracious, kind, and encouraging comment. It always makes my day when material from the site is helpful to others! Thanks for taking the time to write.

Hey Rich! I didn't even realize this part of the site existed until a couple of days ago, so I just heard you preach for the first time!!! =) Rockon man. =) I really liked "The Body of Christ" sermon... even if you were high on cold medicine. ;) Passed it onto some friends of mine. Keep preachin', cyber pastor!!
Love,
Crystal

Rich, Just found your site again and figured out how to load your sermons into my iPod. What a great treat to hear you again on my daily commute to work. I know it's work for you to convert these and get them into the computer, but keep up the good work. It's an encouragement to me, and I'm excited to see it as an encouragement to others too. Take care! Rich: Doug, great to hear from you! I'm glad the messages are an encouragement to you. That makes it worth all the effort. Please pass on my greetings to Nancy and the kids! God bless!

i´m writing from Spain. I was interested in the topic of anger, and, somehow I ended up in this site. I think that these sermons were very good. I have used them to teach in my church.
thank you! Rich: Dear Jorge, I am elated to hear that you have found the sermons helpful and that you could pass on material to your church. It is one of my greatest joys to hear that the website blesses others. Thanks for taking the time to share the encouragement with me. God bless you!
