What Does It Mean To Believe?
I made a covenant twenty-six years ago that every Sunday night I would preach the Gospel of the grace of God for the sake of those who might want to know the way of Life. We live in a city of three million. What a place to witness for Jesus Christ! What a sad thing to go out of the presence of this need and stand in His presence without having tried to bring someone to a knowledge of the truth! I want to read you a few verses of Scripture from the sixteenth chapter of the Acts: “And at … Read More >

Our Message And Why We Preach It
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 … Read More >

Hungry For God!
My folks, it is good to be home! I tell you, I have been a long way from home, and it is good to get back. I feel so good in getting back that I hardly want to say anything tonight, and yet I have so much to say that I do not know where to begin. I arrived in town this morning, and the first thing [I] had to [do was to] go to a reception for Mr. [Billy] Sunday at the depot, and then up to his house. It is great that he is in town, and we … Read More >

The Sacrifice Bound To The Altar
“Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.” —Psalm 118:27 You will readily recognize the reference to the altar of burnt offering which of old stood just inside the gate of the tabernacle. It was made of acacia wood overlaid with brass or copper, and had a grate in the center of it where the victim was burned, typifying the atoning work of our Lord Jesus Christ. As these various sacrificial beasts were brought to be offered to Jehovah, they were bound to the horns of the altar, which were upon its four corners. In this … Read More >

The Story Of Mephibosheth
There is a story, my friends, in the books of Samuel—way back as far as the time of the kings of Israel—which will help us to understand the Gospel. It is about a man of the name of Mephibosheth. You remember what a hard time David had when Saul was hunting him to kill him, just as men hunt game. Well one day, David and his good friend Jonathan were taking a walk together in the fields. Saul was very angry and was bent on killing David, but his son Jonathan was looking out for a chance to save him. … Read More >

Christ Crowded Out
“And Mary brought forth her first born child, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” —Luke 2:7 Those of us who believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures, believe in “the inspiration of selection.” That is to say, we do not have in the Gospels a full and complete account of all that Jesus said or did. We have only those events, narratives, incidents, and sayings which were necessary to record for the redemptive purpose for which Christ came into the world. There are many … Read More >

Christ's Challenge
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 … Read More >

The Year Of Jubilee
“Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sounds throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.” —Leviticus 25:9–10 We know that Jesus did not come to dwell among men until four thousand years of human history had been … Read More >

The Last Appeal
The Concluding Sermon of Doctor Philpott’s Pastorate* “And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.” —Genesis 24:49 The twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis is one of the longest chapters in the Old Testament and it contains one of the most charming stories ever told. Probably in all fiction there is nothing more romantic than the story of Isaac and Rebekah. It is for neither of these reasons, however, that I have chosen it as the Scripture around which … Read More >

Incorrectly Clothed
A message on the Importance of the Christ-Controlled life “Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive. And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union; and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful. Let … Read More >
