The Saviour's Touch
The first word picture I want to consider is found in Luke, chapter, 7, reading from verse 11. I want to talk to you on the Saviour’s touch, the touch of the hand of Jesus, that wonderful hand that brought blessing to everyone upon whom it was laid. Here we read: “And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son … Read More >

The Face Of Christ
Sermon delivered at The Moody Church by W.B. Hinson, D.D. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”—2 Corinthians 4:6 Luke says it was a set face. It had to be or He would have turned back, for He trod a road rough beyond all roads ever trod by mortal, and if He had not had the set face, He would have fallen by the wayside and left us. It has been set … Read More >

The Cities Of Refuge
It is very evident that God has hidden some special lessons for us in the types of the City of Refuge, of which we now read in chapter 20, as otherwise we would find ourselves wondering why they are mentioned so frequently. In four previous passages the Spirit of God drew the attention of Israel to the importance of these cities and the expression of His grace toward the unwitting or unintentional manslayer in Israel. First, we have the very brief intimation in Exodus 21:13, telling Israel that when they reached the land, God would provide such a refuge: “And … Read More >

A Troubled Borrower
“But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, master! For it was borrowed.” —2 Kings 6:5 Elisha was at the head of a school of the young sons of the prophets at Gilgal, and this chapter records a theological lesson given to the theological students. The students in this school said, “Behold, now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us, Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, … Read More >

Short Talks By The Pastor
Pigeons And Crowds There was one exhibit at the San Diego Fair which no one could pass unnoticed. Pigeons, pigeons, pigeons, hundreds upon hundreds gathered in the great open court. You would naturally wonder why they stayed so closely to a certain center and had become so tame, until you made your way to them and found the man on the stool in their midst dressed in Spanish costume selling wheat and chopped corn at five cents the sack. You, of course, bought a sack, and immediately you were covered with pigeons: there were three on your hat, two on … Read More >

Through War Clouds To God
“Until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts.” The above phrase is taken from 2 Peter 1: 19, and it is to this phrase that we will direct our attention; but to get the proper setting, let me quote the entire verse: “We have a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well to take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.” The war has not only brought dark clouds of heart sorrow, but clouds of doubt to men’s … Read More >

Why Church Membership?
A sermon delivered by Dr. William B. Riley of Minneapolis at the Moody Tabernacle, March 18, 1917. I want to discuss this morning the subject of “The meaning and value of church membership,” and I ask your attention to the 16th verse of the 10th chapter of John’s Gospel: “Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.” There is no figure of which the divinely inspired writers seemed to be more fond than his figure of the shepherd … Read More >

Be Prepared
The words of our Lord Jesus in His earthly ministry were often full of challenge to His disciples concerning His second coming. In Matthew 25:1–13 is a parable which has to do with our own personal preparedness for that great event. We must beware of forcing analogy, especially in parables relating to our Lord’s coming, in order to make them support our own particular theories. There are many unimportant things in this parable which are only in the background; others stand out on the surface, and with one or two of these I want to deal briefly. I. The Scene … Read More >

The Place Of Places
“He hath poured out his soul unto death.”—Isaiah 53:12 It was the Master, not the malefactors, who made Calvary immortal and inimitable. And, in thinking of the Cross, we have in mind primarily the accomplishment of the Saviour. The Father now pours out His blessings because the Son then poured out His soul. The thought of lingering at Calvary is but a suggestion for the grateful heart to ponder more prayerfully and to think more seriously upon the fact of our Lord’s sacrificial work. Perhaps no other spiritual exercise is so productive of deep and abounding gratitude. Since the Cross … Read More >

Rest In Christ
“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 … Read More >
