| Devotional | The Fellowship of Christ's Sufferings
"That I may know him...and the fellowship of his sufferings..." (Phil. 3:10).
Do not miss the blessedness of the fact that the fellowship of His sufferings means that He has fellowship with us. When I enter into the fellowship of His sufferings I am not alone, for He is forever with me. I can endure no pain for Him that He does not share with m ...read |
| Sermon | The Fight of Faith
Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who abolished death. 2 Timothy 1:10
We come to Easter morning with joy and gladness, and with a great sense of triumph filling our hearts. We have been treading the shadowed way that led to Calvary, and standing in awe and amazement in the presence of the infinite mystery of the passion of our Lord. This morning in our ...read |
| Sermon | The Fight of Faith
Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal. 1 Timothy 6:12
We are accustomed to speak of the Christian life under different figures. Sometimes it is described as a pilgrimage in which, staff in hand and equipped for long and continuous marches, the pilgrim sets his face toward the country where he fain would be. Sometimes it ...read |
| Sermon | The Filling of the Spirit
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:4
That is the central and supreme word about the day of Pentecost. The sound of the wind and the sign of the fire were symbolic, and not essential. The ecstatic speech in tongues was an outcome, temporary, transient, and of no permanent value for the purpose of the propagation of the Gospel; for ...read |
| Sermon | The First Message of Jesus
From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:17
That is the way in which Jesus always begins. His first message to men is always, Repent! He does not end there. He has much more to say to men than this; and even after He had said much more to His disciples, He finally confronted the ...read |
| Sermon | The Firstborn
And she brought forth her first-born son. Luke 2:7
Who is... the first-born of all creation. Colossians 1:15
Who is... the first-born from the dead. Colossians 1:18
The first-born among many brethren. Romans 8:29
We celebrate at Christmas the supreme event in human history, the central act of God in that cosmic order in the midst of whi ...read |
| Sermon | The Fixed Heart in the Day of Frightfulness
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7
The first part of the text describes a most desirable state of mind, that of being able to hear evil tidings without trembling and without panic. The second part of the text reveals the secret of such fearlessness. It is that of the fixed heart, and of ...read |
| Sermon | The Fourfold Glory of the Church
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning. Fair as the moon. Clear as the sun, Terrible as an army with banners? Song of Solomon 6:10
There have been three methods of interpreting the Song of Songs, which, for the sake of brevity, I may describe as the material, the ethical, and the allegorical. There are those who treat it as being merely an ...read |
| Devotional | The Fruit of Holiness
Holiness results in the passing of all the distinctive excellencies of Christianity from the realm of theory into that of experience. The ideal which we have seen and admired will become the real in actual life, in the measure in which we are holy in character. I am conscious that such a statement may make it appear as though holiness were the priv ...read |
| Sermon | The Fruit Of The Spirit
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
"The fruit of the Spirit is love." While perhaps the sublimest statement the Bible contains concerning God is the brief monosyllabic declaration of the Apostle of love, "God is love, ...read |
| Sermon | The Fruit-Bearing Friends of Jesus
No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known unto you. Ye did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the F ...read |
| Sermon | The Grace of Giving a Million Shillings!
See that ye abound in this grace also. 2 Corinthians 8:7
The passages read for our lesson had so evidently a local and immediate application that they seem to have very little value for us. I am glad that the local coloring has faded, because in proportion as that is so the lines which are vital and essential stand out in clearer relief. I need ...read |
| Sermon | The Great Apostle
I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 2 Corinthians 11:5
This claim of Paul occurs in the midst of which he was evidently ashamed, but which was necessary in defense of truth. There is no surer sign of modesty than the absence of mock modesty. When a man is able to boast in vindication of his appointment to service by his Lord he pr ...read |
| Sermon | The Great Commandments
One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? And He said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ...read |
| Sermon | The Great Confession
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 16:16, 17
These words were spoken at a time of crisis in the ministry of our Lord and in the expe ...read |
| Sermon | The Harvests of the Word of God
For as the rain cometh down and the snow pom heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosp ...read |
| Sermon | The Healing of the Life
In his strength he strove with God; yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him. Hosea 12:3, 4
The story from which our text is taken is a very old one; it has often been the subject of meditation and that in many applications. Yet it is wonderfully fresh and suggestive, and that because it brings us ...read |
| Article | The History of Revival in Wales in the 19th Century
During the 19th century, there were several revivals in Wales. A brief sketch of the more remarkable of these will show how certain traits appeared in each of the revivals as if transmitted to one another by a hereditary law.
Many know the story of the village of Beddgelert and the valley of Gwynant. In a farmhouse in the valley one Sunday in Au ...read |
| Sermon | The Holy Spirit Through Christ, In The Church, For The World
Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. Acts 2:33
Christianity's supreme credential is Christianity. Of all miracles it is the greatest. There are two historic facts which are indisputable: first, the death of Jesus, and, ...read |
| Sermon | The Justification of the Sinner
... that He might Himself be just, and the Justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. Romans 3:26
The measure in which we apprehend the meaning of the words of the text is the measure in which they challenge our belief. In the earlier part of the letter we find the teaching of the writer as to the attitude of God towards human sin. I content mys ...read |
