The Free Grace Broadcaster is a digest of Christ-centered sermons and articles from prior centuries. Each issue focuses on a different theme. The FGB is useful for personal study, discipleship, family worship, and sermon preparation.

Wilhelmus à Brakel (1635-1711): "Self-denial Defined" – one cannot truly under-stand a life of self-denial unless that crucial concept is biblically defined.
J. C. Ryle (1816-1900): "What It Costs to Be a Christian" – one cannot fully enter into a life of self-denial unless he or she counts the cost of following Christ.
A. W. Pink (1886-1952): "Cross-bearing" – the Christian life consists of denying self and taking up the cross; however, many misunderstand what the “cross” is in a believer’s daily life.
Richard Baxter (1615-1691): "Selfishness and Self-denial" – a detailed study of how human beings became selfish and how sanctification and self-denial are the only cure for this destructive condition of man.
Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892): "Learning Self-denial from Christ" – the only way a sinful human being can learn self-denial is by knowing Christ, studying His extraordinary sacrifice, and walking with Him.
John Calvin (1509-1564): "Christ’s Cross and Ours" – everything about Christ’s life was to promote the great glory of God; the believer’s life should be committed to the same pursuit.
Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892): "Family or Christ?" – Jesus said that unless we hate father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters and ourselves, we cannot be His disciple: how are believers to understand and apply this?
Thomas Manton (1620-1677): "Reasons for Self-denial" – a list of biblical reasons to help the believer count the cost and conform his life to Christ’s holy example.
George Whitefield (1714-1770): "Motives to Self-denial" – a thoughtful exhortation to meditate on Christ’s life, to think upon the lives of godly Christians, to consider hell, and to meditate on heaven.
