Testimonials

A heartwarming testimonial (September 2008)

Geoff,

Just spoke to a lady in our office who was telling us what a blessing your presentation that you gave yesterday at Trinity United Methodist was to her and the church. Said she was impressed with how someone could memorize that much Bible and recite it in public without so much as a stutter. Also said that your presentation made it feel like they were right there during those times. Just wanted to pass this testimony along (Proverbs 27:2) and to wish you God's continued blessings in your ministry. Sincerely,

Jeff Newman

From Stacy Lawson, Pastor, Oakland Baptist Church (August 2008)

I have listened to Geoff Brock for several years on local sports radio and was sad to see him leave the air. I always enjoyed his insight and analysis of college football, UT in particular. Our church recently hosted Geoff and were truly blessed by his presentation. In a time when ministry is often about celebrity or "felt needs" it is refreshing to see someone with a passion to simply share the words of our Lord. I wholeheartedly recommend Geoff and his ministry to you.

Amazing how the Lord works! (July 2008)

I first became acquainted with Geoff through work and I soon learned about his ministry (Sermon on the Mount).  I thought it would be good for the youth group to have him out to speak, but when I presented it to my youth pastor he asked if I had seen Geoff do his presentation myself.  Since I hadn't seen Geoff do the sermon, I then thought why not have him do it first for my Sunday school class?  So I called Geoff and set it up.

I then told the SS class that a guest speaker was going to recite from memory the Sermon on the Mount and to please be there next week. I also invited some friends from another class--more so to make sure Geoff had more people to teach to and not too many empty chairs. (Oh me of little faith!)

Geoff came and it was great!  We had a good number in class and everyone enjoyed the presentation.
 
In the weeks that followed a lady that I had invited to get my numbers up came to me to talk about Salvation and said that it had been on her mind ever since Geoff had come to the class.  I told her, "I can't tell you that you are saved, only you and God know the truth".  In a few weeks she came and gave her heart to JESUS!  She thought she was saved but now she knows she is.
 
Thank you Geoff!   God used you, the sermon, and my silly pride to win a soul to JESUS.
         
God does work and use all things to bring glory to himself.  I stand amazed at HIS work.

Another great way to share the Gospel (June 2008)

We were one of the first groups to hear Geoff Brock’s presentation of “The Sermon on The Mount”. It was excellent! Geoff not only inspired us with what he did but the story he shared with us of how he was inspired to do this ministry. Anyone who utilizes Geoff and his ministry will not only be blessed by his presentation but may inspire others to memorize God’s word and “hide it in their heart” so that they may better serve God.

I am proud to be Geoff's pastor.

Hearing the Sermon on the Mount in its entirety is very powerful (June 2008)

I never really appreciated the magnitude and substance of Jesus' greatest sermon until I heard Geoff.  For the first time I saw the extent to which Jesus went to lay out the impossibility of our self righteousness ridding us of judgement and earning us eternal paradise.  When Geoff was through, there was no doubt in my mind that this awesome sermon was Jesus Christ's gracious plea for each of us to see that the standard of righteousness is nothing we can attain to.  But, Jesus narrowed the way to include just Himself.  I cannot wait to hear Geoff deliver the sermon again.  Who knows what else God will show me.

A real blessing for our group (June 2008)

I had Geoff come and give Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount to our men’s bible study, and it impacted our group. There was a power in hearing it spoken aloud with purpose and clarity. Coming into contact with The Sermon in its entirety, the way Jesus’ audience would have heard it, brings something totally different than when it is broken up into pieces. Hearing it helps understand what it means that Christ came preaching the Kingdom. I would heartily recommend any church, ministry, group, or bible study have Geoff come to deliver the greatest sermon ever given.

Gracious feedback from Mike Henderson (June 2008)

Dear Geoff,
I Corinthians 2:13 talks about speaking words given to us by the spirit to explain spiritual truths.  Your recitation of the Sermon on the Mount is a great example of fulfilling this passage.  I can't remember when I have heard a more powerful presentation.  I was truly blessed.  I read the Word of God daily, and benefit  greatly from doing so.  However, hearing your verbatim "speaking" of the Word made it even more relevant to me.
 
Since hearing your presentation, I have thought about what made it so powerful.  And I think the answer lies in the Lord's providence.  For about 1700 of the 2000 years since our Lord came to Earth, almost nobody had access to the written Word.  So, the gospel was almost always spread by the spoken word.  God gave these spiritual truths a special power when spoken.  While Jesus occasionally read the Word in the temple, almost all of his teaching was through speaking the Word. You are continuing this tradition.
 
Thanks so much for "speaking" the Sermon on the Mount to us.  You are a blessing.
