How Pontius Pilate Lost His Soul
“Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat … Read More >

Is Repentance Essential?
“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there.” —Acts 20:20–22 From these verses we get the apostle’s conception of true Gospel preaching. He believed that repentance toward God should have a prominent place in the preacher’s message. We do not hear many sermons … Read More >

Not Far From The Kingdom Of God
“And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? None is good save one, even God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother. And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth. And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and … Read More >

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 >

The Resurrection Of Christ
What a happy message we have, telling about our risen Lord! Every other great religious leader is dead. Every other one who formed a religion is dead. Every other one who framed a new faith is dead. Our Lord is risen! As those sorrowing friends approached the tomb, that first Easter morning, they found the stone rolled away and an angel was there who seemed to know a great deal about their business. The angel said, “You seek Jesus.” How did he know whom they were seeking, how did he know what was in their hearts? I wonder whether he … Read More >

Soul Winning—A Privilege And A Duty
I want to give you a glimpse of the New Testament church at Jerusalem. There were one hundred and twenty believers, it says, and within twelve months, a brief year, we have a record of growth described in such words as, “multitude,” “multitudes,” “three thousand,” “five thousand,” “multiplied greatly.” I do not know how many people had been led to Christ, but I know that we have here the most remarkable piece of growth and development that the world knows anything about. It is most amazing. All I can hope to do this morning is to call you attention to … Read More >

The First Gospel Message
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” —Genesis 3:15 Here is the first Gospel message in history. Of all the golden tongued evangelists of all time, God is the first to tell of a Redeemer. And for the telling, He waits not an hour after sin has, through Satan’s lie, made moral wreck of the creatures of His hand. Moreover, it is told in one breath with the denunciation of judgment upon Satan, showing that judgment precedes salvation. God … 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 >
