😁 I've thought about playing his old sermons at a slower speed so my pea brain can keep up. Love MacArthur. I've listened to hundreds of his sermons already in my new Christian life. In my opinion John is better than ever even at his ripe old age. Learned so much through him and have been using his study Bible recently.
Just watched a documentary about the Worldwide Church of God (Herbert Armstrong) and then I watched this. The contrast is incredible. The focus is night & day. The centre of man's glory vs the glory of God and His Word is what makes the 1st video shallow, hollow, and full of loss; this video filled with truth and hope; eternal perspective, and joy.
Never has a man of God influenced my walk with Jesus Christ than reverend John McArthur. I listen to his expository messages from Gods word almost everyday. Grace Church has so many resources to help believers grow in their walk with the Lord. God has richly blessed this faithful congregation and minister. What a legacy. God bless each and every one of you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've never been to his church but God used John to open my heart about four months ago and I've never been the same since. Thank you John. God bless you.
There is no substitute for consistent, solid, bible exposition. Praise the Lord for faithful ministry. One part that really should be highlighted is he wanted 30 hours a week to study. Praise the Lord for someone who is not afraid to do the hard work of study. Those pastors today who are searching the web to print sermons to read to their congregation, need to learn from this example and spend time in the hard work of study. Excellent Video.
I was so blessed to hear the clear teaching of the Gospel under Pastor MacArthur...40 years of thinking that I was a Christian, only to realize that I wasn't! I heard him teaching from First John and heard the Truth about myself..... and Christ mercifully saved me!!! I love Pastor John ❤️
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Almost 10 years for me thinking I was saved when I was only "religious". The Lord used pastor John's sermons to bless me with understanding and true regeneration. I'm sure there are many folks like us being saved through his faithful ministry. May God bless you dear one wherever you are. May your sanctification process be steady from glory to glory until we go home🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
This was great! I have listened to Pastor MacArthur since I was 5 years old (41 years now). Being that I was born and raised in Florida, I have had to listen to him on the radio, tapes, his app, , and now online live with his new app Grace Media. He is truly a gift from God. Nobody explains the WORD like he can. A true teacher and godly man. We are so blessed to have Pastor MacArthur still with us (2023).
I absolutely love this !!! I'm from Scotland and have a daily MacArthur study bible he truly is spreading Gods word to the ends of the world♥️ Thank God for Doctor John MacArthur and saving Him from that car wreck 🙏♥️
God not only gave Grace Community Church Pastor John MacArthur, He also gave him to His true sheep all over the world. Thank You Lord. Hallelujah. Praise God.
Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I’ve never attended Grace, but God has used Pastor John as my pastor to lead me to sound biblical teaching, helping me to become rooted and grounded in God’s Word, so much so that my life has never been the same. I am hard pressed to find such teaching in my local churches. But, I pray that God send a revival in the hearts of His people and give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness and knowledge to grow us all into maturity by His Great Grace! I am hopeful that one day, I will get to experience this holy love and fellowship among believers in my local community, communities across our country and the world! 💕🙏🏽✝️
I'm very grateful to God for coming across John MacArthur's sermons. His teaching of The Word has grown me & inspires me to learn all I can about God. Thank you for your obedience to The Truth and sharing.
God bless you John.God bless Grace community church!I've been listening to your broadcast since the early 80's and have grown much spiritually by your teachings.
I sure wish I lived in the Los Angeles area...would love to be a part of this congregation. I looked for years to find a solid church in my city before I became disabled. So I listen almost every day to Pastor MacArthur on radio and UA-cam. Thanks for sharing this and God Bless!
Wow I'm just weeping right now. I hope my family finds a healthy church with faithful servants of the Lord, like the blessed members of Grace Community Church did. Praise the Lord for these wonderful testimonies.
Such a great man of God. Faithful and true always! In this day of biblical confusion and the watering down of the gospel, John has stood fast for 50 years. It was one of my greatest experiences to attend a Shepherd's Conference in 2018. God willing I will make it back. Thank you Lord for raising up men like Johnny Mac. POST TENEBRAS LUX
I was drawn here through a beloved hymn "The Church’s One Foundation" - Congregational singing (Shepherds’ Conference) sung in your church that I found on UA-cam. My eyes were wet when I listened to the song and then watched this Fifty Years of Grace video. I live in Hong Kong, a city torn between opposite political views in the past months and even years. The rupture is especially poignant among Christians and churches here. I just left my original church with my family because of this societal event. But thank God, I have found a new church near my home, which is truly a precious gift from God. Therefore I somehow understand the feelings expressed in the comments here. So many churches and Christians are now strayed from God. May He bless you all in your honest pursuit of the Truth, just like He blessed me!
Thank you for your story. The Chinese are flexing their tyrannical muscle in your beloved and beautiful home, these are surely the last days. John MacArthur is a preacher for the last days with the abundance of false prophets rising up and the churches being shut down. I am Canadian and I have been watching a church just outside of Edmonton, Alberta being shut down by the RCMP, four fences including black tarps and insane amounts of police. No politician has stood up against this and no other church has come to show their solidarity. The young man who is Pastor at this church, Grace Life Church is Pastor Coates, he was just released from a supermax penitentiary in Alberta for more than 30 days for unapologetically preaching the Truth, as the Lord has shown Him in His Word. This young Pastor is a graduate of the Master's Seminary, the Seminary that was started by John MacArthur. May God continue to bless you, even and maybe especially, in these end times. See you at the Wedding Feast, beloved!
I don't know who put this together but it was such a blessing to watch...Im from Texas in small town...very small...There are no Church's that teach like Grace Community...in my area and even farther...I listen to Pastor MacArthur EVERY DAY on either Refnet OR the app and if it wasn't for the sermons from him & a 'few' others...I would not know the Lord as I do today...Christ has allowed my eyes & heart to be opened from these true servants He has and I thank God for them !....God bless & keep you all...!
This is the most beautiful, edifying story I have ever heard and seen about church !!! Words simply fail to express the joy and deep appreciation for pastor John’s outstanding teaching ministry ! And is he not ‚so much more’ to all those whom the Lord has entrusted to him over the many years ?? Thank you GRACE CHURCH for your faithful, loving and Christ-honoring legacy ! I sure want to meet you all in eternity !
That was beautiful, we are blessed no matter when we come into being taught by Johnny Mack. What an honor to meet him and talk to him and share in the Joy of Gods living word. He couldn't have done it without these faithful followers appointed by God. Truly amazing if you ever get a chance, save up, head down to a conference ...a real treat and edification all starting with perspicuity of scripture! God bless you John even long after your gone, scary to think but coming, who will fill your shoes?
Dear Lord Jesus a prayer to you , the United Kingdom isn’t on the list of the Masters Seminary . We long to hear the word of Gospel spoken , taught to us line by line , exactly as Pastor John does it , please send us a godly man to preach the Word so that we may have a Revival in this kingdom ......for we sure need it . In your blessed Son’s Holy Name , our Saviour and Redeemer . Amen 🙏🏻.
I've been to this church twice. I just wish I could belong to a church like this 😔. I love John Macarthur and am sooooo thankful for the GTY app but I really wish I could be a member of this church.
Mil bendiciones!!!! Aun que vivo en otro estado,que pastores!!!? Cómo me an enseñado la el Evangelio .Está iglesia es un ejemplo a seguir!!! Dios les bendiga.
I would like to drive to CA to see John preach before it's too late... but hey, we will be at the same wedding feast soon enough. Hope to see you there too.
A modern day Apostle Paul named John...him glorifying Christ continually was then used by the Father and powered by the Holy Spirit, as all us can do...if we saturate our hearts, minds, and souls and loving one another through GOD's Word!
Amen I wish i had seen some really good leadership. I cant say ive seen good leaders.one had a good teaching. But no real Holiness Or shepards they abused the sheep.
A lot of the material John MacArthur used were from commentaries & books others' work. For decades the material preached & taught were sold for money might have been using other people's work. In question & answer #54 2008, a man stood to point that out but MacArthur brush it off to say he was sorry for doing that not defend it. Base on the information, MacArthur might have used tenth of thousand of others' material & never gave credit for. Do you think this is not thievery & plagiarism? Do you ever see the correlation the material MacArthur used were from others' work? Check his library, the forensic evident might revealed there? The reason GTY allowed free material was they might have realized a lot of MacArthur's teaching/preaching were from others commentaries & books he used for preparing his sermons. What do you think about this?

Hi DaveI just saw this video.. my life has also changed by how God uses Pastor John Macarthur. I hope you are doing well since then. God bless you!

Incredible ministry. What a blessing from God!
Such a blessing to all of us who are hungry for the Word of the Lord to be taught line-by-line and verse-by-verse!

He is not only pastor of GCC but millions and millions of people around the world
Hear, hear! Tota et Soli Deo Gloria!
Cheers & mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines!
His plain exposition of the Bible verse by verse helps me to see the Bible presenting Itself. Appreciate his ministry.
May God continue to bless your ministry. You truly are His faithful servant.
I sure wish I lived in the Los Angeles area...would love to be a part of this congregation. I looked for years to find a solid church in my city before I became disabled. So I listen almost every day to Pastor MacArthur on radio and UA-cam. Thanks for sharing this and God Bless!

From Massachusetts!
Have you see the sermon and service of the 50th anniversary of Dr. John in the pulpit? It's pretty neat!
@@kristaharmon7584 - Yes, I did thank you! It was a blessing to listen to!
John became the pastor at grace community the year I was born and it's been great to be able to hear messages from that time, such a blessing.
This is the most beautiful, edifying story I have ever heard and seen about church !!! Words simply fail to express the joy and deep appreciation for pastor John’s outstanding teaching ministry ! And is he not ‚so much more’ to all those whom the Lord has entrusted to him over the many years ?? Thank you GRACE CHURCH for your faithful, loving and Christ-honoring legacy !

What a wonderful church and history. I love the consistency and strong biblical teaching. One day I will visit.
That's a great and true family of God, what I feel. I wish, i could be part of this family. I love his teachings. May God bless.
Keep Grace Church open LA county. Stop your evil persecution. God will use it to save even more people though.

Thank GOD for John MacArthur and Crace Community Church!
I've been to this church twice. I just wish I could belong to a church like this 😔. I love John Macarthur and am sooooo thankful for the GTY app but I really wish I could be a member of this church.
Loved the heartfelt treasured loyalty from members and their cherished History of Grace.💞💒🙏👏🛐☦🕊🎶📖
Thank you for posting this!
Mil bendiciones!!!! Aun que vivo en otro estado,que pastores!!!? Cómo me an enseñado la el Evangelio .Está iglesia es un ejemplo a seguir!!! Dios les bendiga.
Love u brother JM ❤️❤️❤️ Thank You for teaching me daily even though I am 400 miles away from your church
I would like to drive to CA to see John preach before it's too late... but hey, we will be at the same wedding feast soon enough. Hope to see you there too.
This Church have been a blessing to the whole universe not to the Californians alone.
A modern day Apostle Paul named John...him glorifying Christ continually was then used by the Father and powered by the Holy Spirit, as all us can do...if we saturate our hearts, minds, and souls and loving one another through GOD's Word!
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful! :)
Beautifully put together. Wish I could be a part of this family🤍
What a blessed church
I lived in the neighborhood and just missed the coffee shop that it
Was in the premises but closed two months ago , good coffee ☕️, and pastry 🥮.
I attended school there at Grace Community School from 1986-1992. I am saddened they closed down the school. They should have never shut it down.
Hello I do not speak English. I would like if you could activate the subtitles in this video. Thank you
Nice
Is there a list of what he preached through in the ORDER in which he preached them? What series or sermon was his first?
I wana join master's academy...
I wana train my self more to be like CHRSIT....
Plz help me out.
Write a letter to the Master’s Seminary. That’s a start.
😊
Amen I wish i had seen some really good leadership. I cant say ive seen good leaders.one had a good teaching. But no real Holiness Or shepards they abused the sheep.
Wish.....
50 years of the ever shifting sands of Scofield dispensationalism..... none of the prophecies came to pass in the 80's...... what is happening?
Begome angligan!

The reason GTY allowed free material was they might have realized a lot of MacArthur's teaching/preaching were from others commentaries & books he used for preparing his sermons. What do you think about this?
Doesn't matter. I personally got huge help from his preaching, so ultimately i believe its the Holy Spirit's work.
Oh its soooo sad to see his style of dress..he caved in to that polyester fad.....lolol
Yes . YOU would have to. This was it. If you didn't wear pants that would go up in flames and melt to you skin, YOU just weren't in.
