Heaven Appointed Witnesses
“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.” —John 1:6 This man came to make the most important announcement ever made to Earth: the announcement of the fact that God is coming down to the earth, that the kingdom of heaven is to be established among men—it is to be an actual kingdom with a real king, this king to be the Messiah, King of the Jews, King of every nation,—God himself made manifest among men. We could not direct our attention to any man who could give us more light on our calling as members of … Read More >

Our Supreme Business
The business of all believers is to step out and do God’s will. Even in our city it is most difficult to get the Christian people together to work with God. Men are beginning to call, “Where are the boys and the girls?” Are we taken up with pleasurable pursuits, are we forgetting our obligations to the unsaved? The call comes today just as we hear the footfall of our returning Lord. Are you ready to step out and follow God? Paul says, “I am debtor both to Greek and the Barbarian, both to the wise and the foolish” (Romans … Read More >

The Next Great Step Getting Ready For The Coming Of Christ
Opening address of Fifth Annual Missionary Rally, May 27, 1920. What is the next step in getting ready for the coming of the Lord? First of all, if we are going to step at all, we must find out which way is forward. Sometimes when the fire alarm sounds people know help is needed, but they run in the wrong direction. So many of the things the church of Jesus Christ has done on Earth through the years have been in the wrong direction, that it behooves the church of God to be very careful to know the will of … Read More >

Christian Efficiency
“And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. “And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. “And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? “And he said, Who made thee a … Read More >

Shining For God
“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at … Read More >

The Outlet
Someone has said that the disciples were gazing when they should have been going. They were now commissioned to go first to the upper room until Pentecost, which means fifty days; that is, fifty days after the Passover was the feast of Pentecost. The real Passover had come at last, “The Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world” had been slain, and fifty days from His slaying the Holy Spirit came with the real feast of Pentecost, making His advent into this world, blessed Third Person of the Trinity. When He came, what Jesus said to … Read More >

A Soul Vision Of Christ
Annual missionary sermon delivered at The Moody Church, Sunday morning, April 26, 1925 by the Rev. Charles E. Hurlburt, General Director of the Africa Inland Mission. Has a peace filled your heart in answer to the prayer of thousands of God’s dear children—those who have spiritual hearing? Have you caught the sound of the stately steppings of the Master Himself moving about the earth? The measure of the blessing that shall come to The Moody Church, to Chicago, to Africa, to China, to India, and to every part of the earth depends upon the vision that you and I shall … Read More >

“Here am I; send me.”—Isaiah 6:8 The apostle Paul said, “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.” Again he said: “Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation.” I am glad to be here as a missionary. I have the honor today to have lived the best part of my life in … Read More >

The First And The Last Church
The last verses of the sixth chapter of Acts gives the story of Stephen when he was summoned before the Sanhedrin. He was tried, found guilty and stoned to death for blasphemy. What has this to do with the first and last church? Here was a man who was hounded to death for trying to explain the difference between the first and the last church, and many a preacher has lost his life, financial and denominational, since then trying to explain that same thing. There is the first church and there is the last church, and they are a different … Read More >

Christ And The Common Life
“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins … Read More >
