Ten Shekels and a Shirt – Paris Reidhead

This message has been called one of the most influential sermons of the 20th century and it is certainly one of the most powerful sermons that I have ever heard! I frequently listen to this sermon and I heard it now probably at least a dozen times.

The focus of this site is to broadcast sermons by conservative holiness preachers of the past (and present on occasion). However, there are some sermons that by those who were not part of the Conservative Holiness Movement, that are so tremendous that I must post them here.

While Paris Reidhead was not part of the Conservative Holiness Movement, Paris Reidhead was a pastor in the Christian and Missionary Alliance. This message is a tremendous holiness sermon!

In Judges 17, the prophet, Micah hires a Levite as his personal priest. The price for the Levite’s services was ten shekels (of silver) and a shirt. The real point of this sermon is an indictment of individuals and organizations practicing humanism behind a mask of Christianity.

Everyone should listen to this sermon and obey the truth of it! Make sure you listen to the entire message. The last half hour or so of this message is incredible!

    Dear Brother John,
    I was told about your site and decided to check it out. As a senior at a secular college, newly born-again, and trying to find out what doctrine was true, I was given a copy of “Ten Shekels and a Shirt” by a friend of mine. That one sermon did more to establish me in the things of God than any other sermon I have ever heard. I love our Movement and I feel we are the closest to the Bible, but I wish that more of our pastors and people would hear Bro. Reidhead’s message and heed it. I know God would bless.

    Hey David! It’s good to hear from you! I didn’t even realize you were at Berwick now. I hope all is going well.

    You’re right, more of our pastors do need to listen to this message and heed it.

    Thanks for listening and commenting!
