Sermon delivered at The Moody Church by Rev. Carey S. Thomas of Philadelphia, PA.
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness, but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God”—1 Corinthians 1:18.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has not lost its power. It is still the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. Somehow, we never tire of preaching the Cross of Christ, a crucified Christ. The Gospel of the saving grace works today and it is the only thing that does work. It is the only dynamic of …
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
“Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge …
Any person having read the New Testament and having read any one of the accounts of the Crucifixion given in the four gospels could not help but identify this portion of the psalm with one of those accounts, or that which all four of them record,—the Crucifixion. This has been truly called the Crucifixion Psalm.
I want to bring to you just one word as the basis of my message. It is one of those words that has a volume in it, and that word is one of the words that fell from the lips of …
Address delivered at The Moody Church by A.T. Robertson, D.D.
“And when he was gone forth into the way there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked, Good Master, What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
“Then Jesus beholding him, loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest; go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross and follow me.
“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved; for he had great possessions.”—Mark …
If there is one thing, which, more than all else, should give every true child of God honest and earnest concern it is surely this—to discover what kind of a life God has designed for His children to live, and then to find out whether He has provided the means for them to live that life. To do this we must, of course, turn to the Scriptures, since it is there that God has revealed His will and made known the kind of life that is well-pleasing to Him. And you would naturally expect me to turn for a text …
My thought this morning is, How God Saves a Soul. What does God do for a man which results in that man’s being saved forever? The basis of what I am to say is found in Paul’s epistle to the Romans, chapter 1, verses 16 and 17.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation, to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live …
Many of the Friendship Club members know the easy way in but some of you do not know how readily you may get out of despondency. As a young Christian you came up against a devilish thing; devilish because Satan is the father of it,—discouragement. Do you not remember the delightful experiences of the first days of your Christian life? You were on the mountain top after coming out of the pit and miry clay of the past. The Bible was sweet. You ate it and relished it, and prayer was a great pleasure. To talk with people about their …
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”—Matthew 11:29
I want to speak to you from a very old text. I had thought at one time of bringing another message, but the message that is upon my heart now is in the Scripture lesson. I do not know just when it was, the time of our text, but I think it was about evening time and the sun was retiring behind the gray fleeciness of eventide. Jesus was preaching in the open …
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 …
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 …
