R.C. Sproul: A Consuming Fire 

This is a classic message...ive listened to it countless times over many years. Incredible story.

Can someone pray for me….I’ve been a Christian now for thirty five years …I’ve been struggling with depression for that long and it’s coming back even tho I thought it had gone a few weeks ago.

Please pray for me everyone that reads this I don’t want God to be a consuming fire to me I want his mercy love and peace please Jesus help me to understand how to come to your cross and remain in your Grace always and forever

I’m deeply convinced. It’s as though my veneer has been ripped off. I’m defenceless but for my Lord Jesus. Thank you to all of u who have written in acknowledgment and gratefulness for this teaching. You are family. Thank you x Liz

Only recently discovered rc sprouls preaching. Love this guy!

Sproul was probably the best Christian philosopher of our time.

With so many false preachers that abound today , it is REFRESHING and Uplifting to listen to this great man of God.

I tremble at his word. Please have mercy on this marred and broken vessel my Holy Savior.

Fantastic. Wonderful message. Praise God.

I took God's grace for granted for many yearsuntil I finally broke my neck while drunk. That woke me up! I now have a definite fear of God too bad it was not before I fell. Please pray that God will use whatsatan meant for evil God will use for His glory. Thanx.

Wow I love this

Psalms 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

NOT repetitious. I need all the reminder I can get. All the time.

The good news is of the God who examines us perfectly and identifies every wicked way and sinful defect-and then He cleanses, cures, heals all those who trust Him, creating within them new hearts and right spirits and making them new in Christ (Psalm 139:23; 51:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17). The false gospel is of a god who examines legal records of sinful acts to determine if the right blood was claimed and applied to every single entry in the legal registry, searching for any unpaid sin in order to execute the guilty sinner.

Jesus is Lord

the Holiness of God is terrifying , please help me God.

Doing things *God's way is always best, yes? Of course yes. Even today.

1:15 Amen.

Interesting sermon/Biblical Lesson. So, before I hear Sproul's pov I'd like to express my simple thinking, and why Yaweh would respond as He did. 🔺Our Living and Trice Holy God is completely Sovereign. HE needs no help. 🔺Our Creator has absolute CONTROL OF EVERYTHING. 🔺Death by being too near or not being unauthorized to be near The Arc was very well known and documented. This is why the High Priest would wear bells and a rope would be tied about him when entering The Tabernacle just in case the priest died in God's Holy presence... Especially since no one could go inside the Tabernacle; so, the priest would be dragged out using the rope... Or if the bells suddenly stopped to gingle they would pull him out- most likely dead. 🔺I'm sure some of God's children felt a degree of carnal pride in their possession of The Arc... Yaweh knows our hearts... Thus, if He allowed this violation of The Arc, some might think Yaweh is not a God of His Word... Or that he showed weakness... THIS is completely contrary to God's attribute and a violation of His Own Decree/Word/Commandment! 🔺Yaweh must always and Eternally stand according to His Holy, Holy, Holy Attributes. There are no ifs, or buts with Our Living and Almighty Yaweh! 🔺Finally, I attribute this scene in Chronicles NOT AS ANGER- BUT OF ABSOLUTE PURE HOLINESS. His Holy Hand often blesses His children, but it can also crush a soul into oblivion BECAUSE HE IS HOLY & PERFECT. AMEN... HOSANNA TO THE HIGHEST IN HEAVEN.

Thank you Lord God for providing us with teachers such as R.C Sproul. In the age of the sellout preachers guiding the self loving, the enablers of sin.

Thank you God!! That we have the technology such as RU-vid provides us... to hear great truth... from great men of faith like R.C. Sproul today,... just as fresh as if we were there to hear him then. Thank you Lord, we are greatful.

I need truths like this one periodically driven through my thick, stubborn, presumptuous skull. Thanks for posting this message, Ligonier.

The "fear" of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I have heard this at least five times and it never gets old. Everyone should listen to it. My other favorite is The Rescuer by Voddie Baucham. I miss this great man of God who is making Jesus laugh. Unfortunately I took God's grace for granted for years until I finally fell while drunk and broke my neck. Thank the Lord I never fell through the slats and ended up in hell! And I can't imagine how God feels about today's man-centered concert " worship ".

What a powerful sermon. We thank God for His servant for this message.

thank you brother RC Sproul, you are surely missed in this day of evil and wicked times we are living in.

I felt so blessed listening to this sermon. Thank you Lord. I missed you Dr. RC SPROUL.

Although it seems Uzzah made a mistake, I see this as a clear illustration on how serious God can be and why we should fervently obey His commands.

Every 21st century American professing Christian needs to hear and understand this message. Thank you, Dr. Sproul, for these wonderful words of truth.

Enjoying a marathon of RC sermons.

Powerful message! God has been warning me of spiritual apathy and slumber. This message has stirred my heart. Slowly getting back. Lord just help me keep going.

No human being will receive injustice ... some receive mercy. The rest, justice. .. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Repent of sin and believe on Him and receive His Mercy. Shalom.

Thank you for posting this Message, I have a greater appreciation of the Holiness of God. I realize I don' t know enough. I am so thankful for R.C. Sproul and his faithfulness to the expositing of God's Holy Word.

RC Sproul delivers such deep and easily understood sermons. Gods Man Right There!!

Actually it's my 3rd favorite; my favorite is Brokenness by Voddie Baucham and my 2nd is The Rescuer by Voddie.

Every time I finish listening to one of Dr. Sproul's sermons, I feel like a man who has gorged himself on the entirety of the most succulent prime rib roast and who, consequently, cannot move afterward. What inexpressibly RICH teaching and preaching!

What a great message - Thank You God, You alone are Holy! Please have mercy on us Lord, we are all sinners.

I was unaware until reading the comments that this man had passed away what a great loss😢

I can only thank God that He gave me the gift of repentance to trust in the righteousness of Christ alone for salvation from a holy God.

My! How God used this dear man, my late sweet brother IN Christ, to preach/teach with such clarity His holy word by Holy Ghost POWER! Glory! My inner spiritual man rejoices!

A TOP of the Class theologian is Dr. Sproul. Always scintillating and lucid In his sermons. Praise the Lord for the life of Dr. Sproul.

This sermon has to be one of the scariest he really nailed the seriousness of the topic

Thank you ligonier for uploading this message.

The problem with our culture is that so few people listened to this sermon...

Church today no longer believes in the fear of God, they overemphasize the love of God there is a balance. not a Spirit of Fear but Reverence for who He is and His absolute holiness.

God Rest your soul Dr. Sproul. Cant wait to meet ya.👍

I PRAISE GOD..For teaching through Pastor R C Sprauls .. I heard many Speak of Him. Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham.. I am learning so very much. And what I Believe, I am being shown the Right way to explain.. I share Asking People to Seriously Listen.. Understand.. Only GOD can Save them, Taking them to JESUS CHRIST To be Saved..🙏🙏🙏🤟🕊😔

This one really hit home... Mercy is such a gift

I see why John Mac Arthur and he were best friends. 🌷 Rest in Peace Pastor Sproul.

Faith in Christ is our ONLY Hope. I am so thankful for men like Dr. Sproul who preach Christ alone. I am so fortunate that God gave me the Grace to see my wickedness in the light of His Holiness and to be given the inestimable gift of faith is the sovereign atonement of Christ. Christ is Everything, and without him I am nothing.

Our faith and hope rest fully on the cross of christ. when he shed his precious blood on the cross he said it is finished, therfore we wait for him in faith and hope. Thank you R.C. Sproul for sharing the word.

Thank s to Gods Grace and Jesus righteousness that covers us we should not fear death , our repentance has allowed our sins to be nailed on the cross and we have a clean slate with Jesus forgiveness and payment applied to us. We rest in Him .

I love that, at about 23:30, you can hear Steve Lawson's laughter. What precious brothers in Christ.

God is so good to me, I don't deserve it, God had to of loved me way back at the foundations of the world. Thank you Holy Spirit for taking residence in my heart..

I thank my Lord that He has taken me from "not understanding the awe of G-d" to desiring to be humble & fearful of His Holiness & requirements for honoring Him. Continue to lead me to Your righteous ways 🖤🤍. Thank You 🔥❤️‍🔥🛐

If you read the Old Testament and you find there a God you can’t recognize, than you can know for sure that you have been deceived about the character and nature of God. God is the same: yesterday, today, and forever!

Definitely God given wisdom.

I DO NOT WANT JUSTICE!! I want God's mercy and grace!

I have saved this so that I can hear it again and again. God forbid that I should presume upon His holiness or His grace.

In the introduction to the Holy Scripture, R.C. Sproul wrote that the Bible “transcends and stands apart from, above, every other book.” And as such, Jesus Christ transcends and stands apart from, above, every other human being. 🙏

LORD THANK YOU FOR EXPOSING YOURSELF THROUGH THIS MSG Of Your Servant. 26-2-23 may I and we always remember this msg until we meet YOU face to face thru YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST 🙏

My Lord is Holy and Just full of Grace and Mercy ❤thank you for this wonderful sermon on our Lord Jesus Christ ❤🙏

I grew up in Enfield Connecticut. There is a simple, engraved stone marker next to the sidewalk on Enfield Street which marks the spot of Jonathan Edwards sermon...the church building no longer exists.

In four passages the word PROPITIATION appears. Propitiation has the meaning of satisfaction of God's wrath and justice. To deny the wrath of God is to deny the Gospel.

There is no greater joy on earth than to be in His presence through the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Dr. SPROUL, bless you in Heaven

Pride is so scary. The thick fog that blinds man from the reality of God’s wrath. Thank you Lord for the true gift of repentance. What an outstanding message this was.

We in the West don’t fear a holy God and fear him enough

God's voice is penetrating into mine heart as I hearing this ...

R C what a great man who helps us understand the utter Holiness of God.

Excellent,,,, Thank you Lord,, for Your Word,,, and,, for RC Sproul...

I started teaching my girls when they were 10 that if life was "fair" they would get caught every time they did something wrong and slapped every time they said something wrong. They stopped saying, "that's not fair" by the time they were 11. LOL

Thanks for uploading this wonderful message to the ligonair ministry. May this great man of God's soul rest in peace.

That's a warning to us all!

Hermosa prédica del Dr. Sproul. No sé cómo llegué a saber de él, pero sí sé que, desde que conocí su programa y ministerio, he aprendido más a Dios, a reverenciarle y temerle por su Santidad y a buscar el reino y su justicia. Gracias a Dios por todos los trabajadores de Ligonier.

Crazy to think that dirt is more holy than I am. Thank you jesus for your sacrifice and thank you god the father for your gift I am unworthy.

Sobering illustration at 50:00 onwards. Powerful!

13:20 Steve lawson's laugh cameo

Another insightful message. RC is resting in peace with our Lord. Thank you heavenly father for loving us 🙏

I love R.C. I'm glad we still "have" him through tape. He is one of a kind!

i was laughed to scorn and persecuted by a youth pastor and those he enlisted for years at aportland oregon fundamental bible school for yearssss for teaching of rc sproul consuming fire and holiness of god hashem cjm

Thank you for this incredible sermon on the consuming Fire Of our Holy God❤

Amen Christ Jesus let it be !!! Save me from the World the Flesh and the Devil

I need God`s grace and his Hand even to truly repent my stubborn , wretched heart. His mercy in Christ is so enormous, ,that to my mind it seems wrong. Thank you Lord, for the life and work of Dr. Sproul.

Doesn't sound like he was too thrilled with denominations...

The American church needs to hear this sermon.

We miss you Dr Sproul!

We will never get another sproul but I hope we get someone as amazing as him again in my life time

I need to be reminded that God is Love God is Mercy God is Holy God will not be approached by sinful humans Thank you Jesus for your precious shed blood that allows us to come freely to the Throne. Amazing Grace indeed.

This isn’t a sermon, it’s a lecture, so I think it’s appropriate that I recognize Sproul’s wonderful public speaking. His jokes at the intro make these conferences so fun for people to attend. Couple that with his expository communication skills, make Sproul one of the greats, to be listed along with the likes of Hodges, Warfield and perhaps even Edwards.

I miss him terribly being on this planet -- although I'm thankful he doesn't have to witness and warn us about all the up and coming compromising or down-right false teachers. I'm sure he would be heartbroken about some -- and righteously angry with others.

I am so undeserving of an opportunity for forgiveness of my sins. I did not deserve anyone, much less my savior dying for me. I am a sinner. I can only pray for the mercy of God in the name of the only son, Jesus Christ. God Bless your ministry sharing the word of a great man of God.

Thanks for the powerful message GOD BLESS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

Hey R.C., You are missed, but I know you are in Heaven enjoying the fruits of your labor.

The Strange fire 🔥 Nadab and Abihu offered is revealed by YHVH himself in verse 6 of Leviticus 10 both of them had been drinking and offered incense to GOD in a strange manner !! Those who have ears 🙏

24 mins in; hearing Steve Lawson laughing louder than anyone had me laughing

This man heard the Father say.." Well done my Good and Faithful Servant enter in upon the rest The Lord has Prepared for You" R.C. Sproul Made it Into the Kingdom Of God.

There's a book with this title by Dr. Edward Fudge

its a wonder and an act of God that Sproul got out of that seminary without being corrupted

Thank God for jesus 🙏🙏🙏

God's Holy love includes His wrath, otherwise it would not be holy.
