November 1921: An Appeal to The Moody Church for Prayer issued by the Board of Elders
During more than a half century past God has been pleased to give to The Moody Church a world-wide testimony, through which thousands have been pointed to the Lamb of God and multitudes have been saved.
Christ has been exalted, the Bible believed from cover to cover, the Gospel preached in its fullness, discipline maintained in the Church, and all things have been done “decently and in order” as unto the Lord, even though on the human side we have been conscious again and …
O Saviour! Who, from earth’s conflicting voices, Art calling me to Thy seclusion sweet; Give me a heart that, still and calm, rejoices To sit, with Mary, at Thy blessed feet. For marvels of this secret place are known To him who in it dwells with Thee, alone.
In the secret of His presence we may lay bare to Him, without fear, the inmost secrets of the soul. This is what we cannot do even to the dearest friend on Earth. It is what we sometimes dare not do. Our lips are sealed for very shame. But freely and unrestrainedly …
Message preached by Dr. J. Sidlow Baxter at The Moody Church on Sunday, July 5, 1953.
When the first preachers of the Gospel went through the Roman Empire, 2000 years ago, they could not sow the seed of Christian truth upon virgin soil. The ground was already full of other growths. Everywhere that those first heralds of the Cross made their way, they found men’s minds full of religious and philosophical ideas; and the famous so-called “Mystery” religions had penetrated into practically every part of the Roman dominion. Some of these old-time religions, in their doctrines of the taurobolium, …
“As a prince hast thou power with God and with men.” —Genesis 32:28, KJV
I presume if I were to ask the members of this congregation to name their favorite Bible character, we would receive a great variety of answers. I know that some would pick Joseph, others Jonathan or David; and some might choose Samuel, while others undoubtedly would select Daniel, but I do not think anyone would pick Jacob as their favorite, and yet it is well for me to remind you that God has more to say about Jacob in the Bible than any other person, apart …
Message preached by Rev. Aubrey P. White at The Moody Church on Sunday, June 7, 1953.
“And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”—Luke 23:33
We may well ask the question, Why are there three crosses on Calvary? Crucifixion was a common thing in that early day. Darius crucified 300 at one time, and in Tyre there is the record of 2,000 being put to death by crucifixion at one time. Here we have 3 crosses—not 5 or …
I want to read you three or four verses from John’s Gospel, the 20th chapter, beginning with verse 24:
“But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, …
I have come to you today for just one purpose and that is to preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. To do so is my principal business in the world.
I desire to make it very plain to all those who know me in my new activities connected with Wheaton College that I have not changed my sacred vocation, that my business is to preach Christ and Him crucified. I have a new field of labor but not a new vocation.
So far as I can remember, I have never refused an opportunity to preach the Gospel when …
“For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have …
The following is a synopsis of an address delivered last month at the commencement exercises of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago by the class speaker representing the graduates of the Pastors’ Course. We are glad to give space to this clear, forceful treatise not only because it is sane and scriptural and the testimony of the author who is one of our most valued active members, but because it is also the testimony of The Moody Church.
Some of us are about to enter upon what will be our life work. Whether we go to the people of a …
Sermon delivered by Rev. R.H. Glover, M.D. at The Moody Church, August 1, 1926.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” —2 Corinthians 2:14
We are indebted for this beautiful text, as we are for many another in God’s Word, to the circumstances of severe trial out of which it came. These circumstances were, briefly stated, as follows: From Ephesus, Paul had written and sent his first epistle to the Corinthians and later had dispatched Titus in order to learn the …
