You may ask, “How many times have you preached from this subject?” I do not know, but one think I do know: the other day, alone in my room asking God to give me something fresh from Him, I got a new vision of the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The sermons I have preached on this chapter I have not repudiated, because what I said gave a message true to the Book, but God has given me some added light, and it is so simple you will wonder why I did not see it before.
Romans 14:12—“So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
Some one is saying now that the preacher is going to give us some death-bed talks—he is going to try to scare us with death. No, I am not. I do not believe so many are afraid of death as they are afraid to meet God. There is not a man or woman in this audience who does not believe that some day he must stand before God and give account of himself, but if you thought you were going to die you would immediately …
We have a revival in my church at Portland, Oregon. I have seen hundreds of people come to the Lord during the past six weeks. I do not feel a bit strange this morning because we are going to have a revival here today. All my concern is that I, with you, should get where the Lord can save the people, and you know where that place is that we must get in order to have Him save the people. That place is down out of sight. I getting stirred up myself will not do anything. And you stirring up …
Study of both the Written and Living Word is required—“Scriptures able to make thee wise” (2 Timothy 3:15) and “Worlds were framed by the Word of God” (Hebrews 11:3). Two schools are needed—The Bible Institute and The School of Christ. From the first named it is possible to graduate since this deals primarily with the human brain; in the latter the lessons continue in life and beyond, since the teaching is for the heart.
The Bible is God’s university. You may get every doctrine you ought to have for yourself and others out of the Word of God. False …
Sermon delivered at the Moody Tabernacle by Rev. J. Frank Norris.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
All of us are ministers. Too often we think of those of us who have been ordained as ministers, but we are all minsters of Christ. A minister is a servant; a servant of Jesus Christ.
In this verse I have read, we find a description of our ministry, its character, its motive and its message. There is one of two motives back …
Sermon delivered at the Moody Tabernacle by W.H. Griffith Thomas, D.D. on February 1, 1922.
When we were little and went to school for the first time we were expected to learn more and more each week and each term, until at last our school days were over, but although school days are over and people sometimes talk about finishing their education, as a matter of fact education is never finished. We always are learning something.
In the same way, when we commence the Christian life we are like little children, and the Lord who is our Saviour becomes our …
Sermon delivered at the Moody Tabernacle by Rev. Charles Hurlburt, on January 29, 1922.
Just after His baptism, our Lord was moving in the presence of John the Baptist, who had announced Him, and was even then following Him. Jesus turned to these diffident men and encouraging them in a voice more tender than most of us know how to speak, He said to them: “What seek Ye?” And they did not know what to answer. They scarcely knew themselves, but they answered modestly, “Master, Where dwellest Thou?” A little more about the Master was what they wanted to know. …
In my heart tonight I feel that the greatest period in the history of The Moody Church lies ahead and not behind it. In the years to come you are going to be larger and greater than ever before You are going to see more conversions and God is going to make The Moody Church a lighthouse and an honor in all the world, even such as it has never been before, and I believe the message of my text will have something to do with bringing this about.
James 4:2, “Ye have not because ye ask not.” I do …
Sermon delivered at the Moody Tabernacle by Evangelist C.P. Meeker.
My text tonight is three verses of Scripture. They are taken from various parts of the New Testament. These three verses refer to the way the Lord Jesus Christ was affected as he moved among men. They have to do with the tears of Christ.
That does not mean that I am going to preach a sermon tonight calculated to cause you to weep. I do trust there may be many that will weep over their sin, but I want tonight as God may enable me, to give you some …
“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” Ephesians 1:18
The eyes of your understanding, the eyes of your heart. We see things invisible only with the heart. By invisible things I do not mean non-existing things. Sometimes folks see things that do not exist. The visionary is very different from the man with a vision. The visionary sees something that does not exist and that cannot by any possibility come into existence. But a man with …
