| Sermon | The Spirit Of Life
The Spirit Of Life Romans 8:2
The Spirit is described in the New Testament as "the Spirit of truth," "the Spirit of promise," "the Spirit of grace," "the Spirit of glory." "The Spirit of life" is a suggestive and comprehensive phrase, indicating the relation of the Spirit of God to all life. Two words are here placed together, both of which refe ...read |
| Sermon | The Spirit's Testimony To The World
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send Him unto you. And He, when He is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on Me; of righteousness, because I g ...read |
| Sermon | The Strength of the Name
The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: The righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10
Life is full of strain and stress. Sooner or later we all come to the consciousness of this fact. The illustrative figures of the inspired Scriptures all remind us of this fact.
Life is described as a race, for the running of which it is necessary ...read |
| Sermon | The StumblingBlock of the Cross
The stumbling-block of the Cross. Galatians 5:11
The Authorized Version reads, "the offence of the Cross." The apostle was arguing that if he would but preach circumcision, he would no longer be persecuted; if he would conform to the method of those Judaizing teachers whose influence he was combating, the stumbling-block of the Cross, that in th ...read |
| Sermon | The Supreme Inspiration of Faith
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead.... 2 Timothy 2:8
This is an hour peculiarly trying to the young people of our church. The child, thank God, has no consciousness either of the suffering of the hour or of the problems by which we are confronted. It is wonderful how God fashions the heart and does not allow a little child to apprehend a ...read |
| Sermon | The Teaching Of The Resurrection
This Jesus did God raise up. Acts 2:32
"This Jesus"! That opening word fastens attention upon a particular Person, and compels us to consider Him, even before we pay attention to the declaration of the apostle.
The lesson we read constitutes the second part of the first message delivered by an apostle of Jesus Christ after the Pentecostal effus ...read |
| Sermon | The Terms Of Discipleship
If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. Matthew 16:24
So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:33
In the words of Jesus, preserved for us in the records, there are two elements perpetually noticeable. There is that with which ...read |
| Sermon | The Touch of Faith
Who is it that touched Me? Luke 8:45
In this narrative we have an illustration in the concrete of Christ's relation to the crowds, and in the particular question which constitutes the text a revelation of that principle of discrimination which was always manifest in His attitude toward the multitudes that gathered round about Him. It was a stran ...read |
| Sermon | The Tragedy of Life Without Faith
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
The psalm from which our text is taken is a song of conflicting emotions, in which victory is on the side of the nobler. As we listen to the singer we discover the opposing forces at war within the soul. Faith opposes itself to fear, joy s ...read |
| Sermon | The Training of our Children
Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
One is inclined to commence this morning by asking in the presence of this text a somewhat startling question. The question would be whether Christian people generally today believe the Bible to be true. A great many who would quite readil ...read |
| Sermon | The Triumphal Entry
On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel. John 12:12, 13
In the calendar of the Christian Church this is known a ...read |
| Sermon | The True Focus
And I said, This is my infirmity... the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Psalm 77:10
True focus is all important. This is known to every person who has looked upon a landscape through a fieldglass or has seen its beauties gathered up in a camera. When the instrument is improperly adjusted, the images which it shows are blurred and indis ...read |
| Sermon | The Turning Again of Peter
From that time began Jesus to show unto His disciples that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. And Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from Thee, Lord: this shall never be unto Thee. Matthew 16:21, 22
Verily, verily, ...read |
| Sermon | The Unchanging One
Jesus Christ... the same yesterday and today, yea and for ever. Hebrews 13:8
There is nothing more certain or more impressive than the transitory nature of all earthly things. We change our calendars, and become conscious as we do so, that we ourselves have changed. Then we glance around us, and we find that there has been change everywhere. And ...read |
| Sermon | The Unstraitened Christ
The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach. Acts 1:1
This at first sight appears a strange opening to a book, and yet it is perfectly natural when we remember that the writer had already written another pamphlet, which we know as the Gospel according to Luke. It is to that he makes reference ...read |
| Sermon | The Untrodden Pathway
Ye have not passed this way heretofore. Joshua 3:4
Last Sunday morning we looked back. This morning we look on. The Children of Israel are still seen at the parting of the ways. There is some change of circumstances from those at which we looked before, but it is a slight one so far as the hosts are concerned. They are still on the margin of the ...read |
| Sermon | The Value and Proof of the Resurrection
If Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain. 1 Corinthians 15:14
Strauss, who was one of the most brilliant of the critics of Christianity, and one of the most unbelieving of the apologists of Christ, declared the resurrection to be the center of the center. That declaration harmonizes with the view of the ...read |
| Sermon | The Value of Vision
Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint. Proverbs 29:18
This is among the "proverbs of solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out." It is the crystallization into a brief sentence of a national principle of the first importance. It must be interpreted in the atmosphere in which it was written, and its terms must b ...read |
| Sermon | The Vengeance of God
"The Lord is a jealous God and avengeth; the Lord avengeth and is full of wrath; the Lord taketh vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies" (Nahum 1:2, ERV).
Robert William Dale, the great preacher and theologian of a generation ago, said to me one day that he had known one man that he felt had a perfect right to tal ...read |
| Sermon | The Verdict
What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? Matthew 27:22
This question occurs in the story of the appearance of Jesus before the Roman Governor Pilate. If we read the story superficially, we shall declare that Jesus was arraigned before Pilate. If we read the story carefully, determining to see its true inwardness, to discover its p ...read |
