Just because there seems to be some confusion about what I preach (because of the shortness of these clips), if I even preach about grace ever or not, I thought I'd make these audios available.

http://newenglandoutreach.com/audio/

If you listen to the audios, I'm sure you'll see how my preaching is calm, civil, gentle, and yet strong. How I do dispute, but I do so with reasonable and persuasive arguements. How I preach both about sin and the Savior, and how it's Jesus Christ that is the answer, how Jesus Christ saves men from sin and hell. How sinners are not only going to hell, and are condemned already, but also how they can be saved, through Jesus Christ.

No doubt some will still not like these audios. I am sharp and personal in my rebukes against sin. But I humbly hope some will be able to rejoice at the preaching found in these audios. And that these too might be an encouragement and possibly even equipping to Christians with a desire to share their faith and see sinners saved from sin and hell through Jesus Christ.

Jesse,

I am personally concerned when I watched these videos. As one person already commented, if these things are of poor quality, and don't really represent a lot of what you are actually doing, then why put them up? Why further misrepresent yourself?

To me these videos seem like nothing more than a sort of self-glorifying music video that lifts up your edgy sharp message that has put you against the world and against the church. It's much like the garbage Jed Smock made.

I'm all for hell-fire preaching, and the urgent need of the church has to proclaim that individuals repent of their sins. I have no beef with such a message, or an individual who bears such a message. I personally do a lot of preaching on repentance in my own street ministry. However, if this video is supposed to be a representation of your preaching, I noticed one major thing lacking in it: CHRIST.

Where is the focus on Christ? Where is the focus on His works? Where is the focus on His character? Where is the focus on His excellencies? I hear nothing of the sort. Oh, you probably mention it when you have to, after-all, you are a orthodox Bible-believing Christian. But, these things seem more like an "oh by the way...in case I forgot to tell you" sorta thing. They don't seem to be essential to your message. These things are mere ornaments in your preaching, and not the essence.

Your calling men to repentance ought to be grounded on the basis of these things, as it was in the early Church. For if your message of repentance is not grounded in the absolute essentials of the faith, then you are not preaching the gospel, but are simply preaching on morality. It might be Bible-based morality, but this is not the gospel.

The first video I said, "Get out of the sea of sin and into the boat of Christ"

and in the second video I said, "You can be a protestant and go to hell. You can be a Catholic and go to hell. The point is without Jesus...Jesus is the answer"

I often say things like that in my preaching. But these videos are short, and so are the preaching clips. I didn't edit the clips much, they were just the only clips I had. Miles took film using his picture camera, so I used whatever shots he got.

Though I preach a lot about sin, hell, and judgment. It is only so that I can point people to the Savior Jesus Christ. I too wish that there was more of that in these videos. And I am making a conscience affort to assure that for future movies. Because while it may not be an emphasis in these videos, it certainly is an emphasis in our preaching!!

As Joseph Alliene said in his classic "Alarm to Uncovered sinners", "What do I mean by trying to terrify you about hell? Is it to torment you before your time? No, but so that you would come to Jesus Christ." Or something to that affect.

I said that the content of these videos are not good. But I did not mean that what I was saying was not good. The motive was love and the content was biblical. But I meant that the content was not the best because what the film covered was so limited. They are short little bits that do not cover the full preaching of the full councel of God that we do during the hours and days we are on a campus.

So the upcoming videos will have more full length clips, that will have preaching of the law, sin, apologetics, the cross, the new birth, grace, mercy for those who repent etc etc in a more indepth way, rather then just short clips of this or of that.

I think these videos are good. But I think that I could do better.

I was encouraged by this ministry. I have been a street preacher for 3 years. Mostly one on ones and small groups. However the last ten weekends that i have gone out it has been open air. In high populated areas and downtown San diego, there are 6.5 billion people in the world. Could you get those videos on google? If a person doesn't preach it is very hard to judge one because they dont know how it is.Let us tear down strongholds in prayer, amen.

I cannot agree or disagree with these videos, but I did not feel right about them as if something was off.
I would only say to Brother Jesse look at how Jesus interacted with people. He warned them of judgement, told them to stop sinning just as you, but there was something of love in HIS words. The only ones HE raised HIS voice to were the religious self-righteous ones who were condemming all around them for sinning. I make no excuse for sin as it is abomination to GOD, yet is it not interesting, and somewhat frightening that if Christ was at one of your meetings He just might have corrected you? We all need to check our hearts before we deal with any person saved or unsaved.
But now I ask you again to look at how Jesus dealt with people, then look at how these videos make you look(I'm sure there is a whole other side to you brother). But to quote Ravenhill "You cannot whip people until you have wept over them", and if you remember Brother Reidhead's words from the Ten Shekels message about Whitefield "throwing his head back and weeping like a baby for the sinners"
Maybe you should use a little of this, maybe we should all use a little of this.
Either way Jesse, you are loved by many in this cyber-church, and that is the very reason we correct.

G'day Jesse...........

Remember how someone came up to Moody and said to him "i dont like the way you preach", he said "either do i"

"Well how do you do it"? Moody asked.

She said "i dont".

Moody replied "i like my way much better".

God bless you, keep going. Pressing on for Jesus, i know your not doing this for yourself.

ciao Laz. Forget about the lovey duby religious folk, keep pressing on, you encouraged me.

Be led by the Spirit brother!!!

God bless!

Wisdom for everyone:

"I have found by long experience that the severest threatenings of the Law of God have a prominent place in leading men to Christ. They must see themselves lost before they will cry out for mercy. They will not escape from danger until they see it." - A. B. Earle

Scripture?

1 Timothy 1:8

"But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully."

If you read verse 9, it says:

"Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners....."

Isn't that what A. B. Earle said, ""the severest threatenings of the Law of God have a prominent place in leading men to Christ."

So what is this "prominent place" that the Law of God has in leading men to Christ? Let A. B. Earle tell you it.

"They must see themselves lost before they will cry out for mercy. They will not escape from danger until they see it."

"Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." - Galatians 3:24

Is it right to hush the fears of sinners with the mercy of God by Jesus Christ right away without first letting the sinner breathe in his utter hopelessness?

When I speak of hopelessness, I mean hopelessness. Can you for the sake of their souls, let them be guilty, condemned, executed by the Law of God? Or must you kiss them instead of letting them be crushed and killed by the 10 cannons of Gods Law?

You may question and believe I'm being harsh, but know that I speak out of love. I want to bring some order to this mess, by the grace of God.

You might question now where the grace of God or where love is in my speech. I'll tell you. In Jesus Christ alone. Read this again:

"They must see themselves lost before they will cry out for mercy. They will not escape from danger until they see it."

Do sinners see themselves lost? Do they see danger? Or do you cover them with your kisses? Do you attempt to adopt them into your family?

"They will not escape from danger until they see it."

Do you want to take the blood of Jesus Christ and cover them with it? God forbid you should kiss them, adopt them, or cover them! Your kisses are deceitful, your adoption is in vain, your covering is absurd!

You can do nothing! Jesus Christ alone can kiss them, He alone can adopt them, He alone can cover them in His blood.

Whom will Christ kiss? What sinner will the precious lips of the Lamb of God kiss?

When someone is crushed and killed by the law, utterly destroyed, heres what will happen. First, Jesus Christ will look upon them and see there deadness.

".....a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."

Second, Jesus Christ will have compassion on them.

".....He had compassion....."

Third, Jesus Christ will declare their ressurection with a loud shout.

".....come forth!"

Fourth, Jesus Christ will cause them to walk in Gods statutes. He will cause them to keep Gods judgments and to do them.

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them."

This is a view of the power of God, the gospel. Ponder over this.

Now, before I end this, I'd like you to remember the thief on the cross.

Wasn't the thief guilty? Wasn't the thief condemned? Wasn't the thief executed?

The thief was crucified with Christ.

"They will not escape from danger until they see it."

How do sinners escape the danger once they see it? Get on the cross and be crucified with Christ. Die! What is Jesus Christs answer to a sinner who sees his danger but does not know how to escape it? What is His answer, but a direction pointing to the cross. Then when the sinner is nailed to it by his hands and his feet, without any rights, what else can the sinner say but "Lord, remember me when you enter your kingdom." and what else can Jesus Christ say to them but "Today, you shall be with me in paradise." This is my hope, this is the promise that is faithful.

Untill they are thirsty, do not give them a drink.

Paul M.
