This blog was originally called Life Changing Christian Sermons.(It started off with me posting recordings of cassette tapes in my collection.)That is still a good title but this new title reflects the opportunity to go deeper in our Christian Faith after the first steps.It also taps into thoughts of other Christians on the Internet who have made youtube content I think is helpful.

The First Adam v the Last Adam by Pastor Harold Long
This video is about The First Adam v the Last Adam by Harold Long.
The opening Bible readings are by the late Pastor Frank Hunting.
The late Harold Long was a Churches of Christ minister and the one who was instrumental in my becoming a Christian.It is an important message to enable us to understand the Gospel. It shows how we are born "in Adam", a life that leads to death and when we become Christians we are "in Christ" and have entered into eternal life and freedom.It is also important to note how important the opening Chapters of Genesis are and that we should read them as literal truth.

About this blog by Geoff Thompson
This post is probably lost at the beginning of my archives so repeated here for new followers.
I have formed this blog as I have decided to post sermons from my collection of Christian Tapes that are from my own past Pastors and others from time to time.
They will feature the recorded sermons of Harold Long and Frank Hunting.
Both men have gone to be with their Lord some time ago now.
Some of these have already been posted on my other blog.
You can also access them at my youtube channel as per the below link
https://www.youtube.com/user/pembridgehouse
I am concerned that today's generations of young Christians are not always getting exposed to quality and discerning preaching.
I believe we,today's Christians, are in danger of being members of the apostate church in the book of Revelation of which Jesus says "you are neither hot nor cold, I spew you out of my mouth!"(you can find this if you look)
I have a very large collection and I doubt that I can digitise them all before I part this earth but that is no reason not to start.
Below are some outlines about Frank Hunting and Harold Long.
Please note that some podcasts in this series do not always stop at the end of the the address.
That is because I have not perfected my editing.
When you get a silence of at least a minute at the end of an address that means it's finished.
I apologise for any convenience.
I have now added some transcripts of some of my own messages which are delivered as a layperson at the Parkrose Nursing Home in Adelaide and also in the Renmark Uniting Church Congregations in Renmark South Australia.These are in a voluntary capacity.
ABOUT FRANK HUNTING
Frank Hunting was a Churches of Christ Minister who was my minister at the Grote St. Church of Christ when he came there in
1975 after many years Ministry in Ballarat,Victoria and other places before that. He was my minister in tandem with Pastor Harold Long from 1975-1980 (approx) .Frank is now with His beloved Lord. Frank had a very distinctive teaching and counselling ministry. His gifts were very much in counselling people with troubled spiritual and emotional problems , what some would call mental illness. He was Frank by name and Frank by nature. Without Frank’s ministry to myself and my wife and family I doubt that I would have remained a Christian. He taught such things as the necessity to keep in right relationship with God and others through going to Jesus on a daily basis. He alerted us to the fact we have a very real enemy. “ we wrestle not with flesh and blood.” who is out to destroy our homes.
He taught about prayer and also how when we become Christians it
does not mean that everything will now be a bed of roses. He taught that many of our troubles as adults have their roots in not only the effects of our sin but that often we have problems from early childhood and adolescence that we tend to push down into our subconscious minds that the Bible calls the Heart. These problems are usually to do with rejections or abuse that we might have suffered and quite often we are not consciously aware of. He counselled many including myself on how these things affect us and how to take them to Jesus for healing. Even though we may be Christians ,unless these things are brought to Jesus ,we can have much trouble in our relationships and in life and indeed may never come to know the abundant life that Jesus promises us. I have many Bible studies that Frank prepared for use in Churches , booklets on important Christian themes and may cassette tapes of his teachings.
With permission from Frank’s family, for which I am very grateful, my aim is to bring his teaching to a world that is desperate for healing and hope.I will be progressively putting up material for the use of people who currently call themselves Christians and those who are seekers after God’s truth.
ps Frank Hunting was also a champion Australian Rules footballer in his younger days and played 4 games for Essendon in 1933.
ABOUT HAROLD LONG
Harold was a long serving Churches of Christ Minister who had Ministries in Victoria,NSW and South Australia.
He did his Bible College Training at the College of The Bible at Glen Iris which was a Churches of Christ Theological College.
We met Harold Long and his wife and family when we were attending the Church of Christ in Adelaide at Grote Street in South Australia.
I sat under Harold's teaching for some 3 years before I ran out of arguments as to why I should not become a Christian after listening to many of his sermons.
My wife was already a Christian.
We had the privilege in our formative Christian years of both Harold's ministry and also Frank Hunting.
I have often said Harold was the one who God used to bring me to Jesus, and Frank was the one who God used to keep me there.
Both men were Pastors in the Churches of Christ movement and were very gifted expositors of the Bible.
Harold was well known and loved for his prophetic teaching on the end times of the age and the Church and the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I have many tapes by both men and also other Church of Christ Ministers who have been our Pastors and many who were guest Preachers.
I will post some of the others at a later date, God willing.
One set of Harold's sermons I intend to post are a series called "What Churches of Christ Believe."
There was a time when most Churches of Christ in Australia would have believed the things Harold expounded on but sadly I think there has been a falling away in some of our Churches on what was held dearly by some.
When you listen to them you can judge for yourself.
Harold's son Rob has given me the ok to publish these tapes.
Ps As at January 2014.
As I am now in my retirement speaking in Church services on a more regular basis as a lay person I am also going to start posting my own sermons as shared in the Renmark Uniting Church and the Parkrose Nursing Home.
I have been posting these to this point on my main blog but will attempt to double up on here.
Also you can access them on my youtube channel as below
https://www.youtube.com/user/pembridgehouse
I do not presume that my messages are any where near the quality of my mentors but you will find a lot of the things I have learnt from Harold and Frank in these.

"Spiritual Death" by Frank Hunting
This sermon by Frank Hunting is a challenge to us all. Particularly if you are not yet born again you may find this something you will dismiss.The Bible teaches that all people are either in the process off perishing or being saved.
At our peril we turn away from God.
My prayer is that if you listen to this and are not yet a Christian,that if the Holy Spirit speaks to you, don't delay.
I sat in Church for 3 years as a believer in God in a vague way but one who could not swallow the "Born Again" stuff.
After to listening to preaching by Harold Long in that 3 years I ran out of arguments and took the steps to receive Christ as my Saviour.
I used to sit in the very back row of the Church in the corner thinking I was safer there for most of that 3 years.
My wife was already a Christian and I had agreed to attend Church with her.
I was not going to become some sort of "fanatic"
On the night I made my "decision" I was sitting 2 rows from the front.
"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" the Bible teaches.
That was 38 years ago.
There have been ups and downs and strong challenges along the way.
We were fortunate that Harold Long's preaching was used by God to convict me of my need.
Frank Hunting arrived at our Church after I had been a Christian for about a year.
Not long after he arrived I was facing a personal crisis.
His personal counselling set me free from things that had me tied up in knots.
Listen with an open mind to what Frank has to say.
Don't delay taking those steps to Jesus.
You will not be disappointed.

The Coming World Government by Harold Long
From a series of addresses by the late
Pastor Harold Long already commenced on this channel.It seemed
appropriate to publish this today when there is a re election of the
American President to reflect that there is a much bigger picture
unfolding.

The Coming World Dictator(the Anti-Christ) by Harold Long
This sermon by Harold long was recorded in 1978 as part of a series on the end times or 2nd coming of Jesus Christ at The Church of Christ at Grote Street Adelaide. The Church is now called The Market Place Church and meets in the Flinders Park Primary School Adelaide.
This tape cuts out just before the last bit but the challenge from Harold is what will you do about what you hear in this message.
Do you yet know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?
Why not make a decision to become a Christian today?
The message starts with a Bible reading by Frank Hunting.

We should all be reaching for Maturity in Christ.

By no means do I think I have "arrived".
I need to continually be on my toes as we do have a real enemy of our faith.
