hebrews-11:3

James 5: 11. "Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face" May surely be said, upon the reading of this deeply affecting story. Said, too, with peculiar fitness and fulness of truth, as though the thought of the Christian poet had been suggested by the tale of the inspired historian. The fr... Read More

Well, I'm glad tonight for a little bit of extra time because I have much on my heart that I want to say along the line of our series on origins. Last Sunday night I began to talk to you about the issue of origins and tonight I want to continue in Part 2 on the issue of creation and the gospel. As I... Read More

Hebrews, chapter 12, verses 5-11. We have been attempting to answer a very important question and that question is: Why do bad things happen to God's people? Why do bad things happen to God's people? The atmosphere in today's evangelicalism--the atmosphere in today's church--which is, I think, in th... Read More

We continue this morning to look at the anatomy of the church in a little series we began last Sunday by way of bringing everybody up to date on the character and nature and definition of the church. The church is unique in the world. The only organism, the only institution that our Lord is building... Read More

(4 Eph. 3:17) We face a given set of stateme... Read More

EXPOSITORY SERMONS AND BIBLE READINGS IN OUTLINE # GOD'S PICTURE OF A HAPPY MAN (Psalm 1:1-3.) INTRODUCTION. -- God is a great artist. There is no one that draws such perfect pictures as He. Some of God's pictures He Himself labels, others He leaves us to put the titles to. In the first Psalm, the f... Read More

"THY faith." Faith is so Christ's, as the fountain and the cause, that it is ours, as agents moved and acted by Christ. Hence it is a foul error to say, That there is no inherent righteousness in the saints, and no graces in the souls of believers, but in Christ only.' There is water, even "the Spir... Read More

We are going to be occupied with the book of Daniel, but not with any one particular passage in it. You know that in that great summary of faith's devotion and activities in Hebrews 11, some referred to in this book are mentioned (though not by name) as amongst the great men of faith, that great "cl...
