Open your Bible to Titus chapter 3. We are in the midst of studying in chapter 3 of Titus verses 1 through 8.

As you know, we're studying 2 Timothy chapter 2 and looking at verses 8 through 13.

This morning we are going to return to our study of Paul's epistle to the Thessalonian church, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 and we're going to begin a look at verses 4 through 11.

We have done so because a thorough insight into our own nature is the essential preliminary to a vital experience of "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" which make... Read More

WE must examine this matter more closely. We are beginning now to touch on a subject, which has caused divisions in the Church. We must face it carefully and squarely, this subject of sanctification, holiness, the victorious life, the fullness of the Spirit, or whatever name we call it. Names apart,... Read More

APPLY now the secret that Peter had learned to our subject - sanctification by faith, (Acts 26:18) the purifying of the heart by faith, (Acts 15:9) crucifixion, burial and resurrection, with Christ by faith, (Col. 2:12) Christ dwelling in hearts by faith.
