PERHAPS you remember the circumstances under which these words were spoken. David had been warned by Jonathan that Saul sought his life, and therefore he left the court in a hurry, and fled. He appears to have gone in such haste that he did not take proper pro…

IT has frequently happened that good men in times of great trial have asked God, either to give them a signal token of His love, or a special revelation of Himself, that they might be strengthened and encouraged thereby. I suppose of many here present it is tr…

PAUL was proud of his extraction as a Jew. Taking this expression in its literal sense, I feel that he had much to be proud of. Judah’s banner must not rank second among the nations. The nation of Israel is most ancient and most honorable. When as yet Greece a…

“LET a man examine himself.” That is, any man—every man who intends to eat of that bread and drink of that cup. The word is indefinite that it may be understood to be universal. No man is to come to that table, no woman is to draw near, without the previous se…

DEAR friends, it is never wise to dispute with God. Let a man strive with his fellow, but not with his Maker. If we must discuss any point, let it be with imperfect beings like ourselves, but not with the infallible and infinitely wise God, for in most of our…

SEVERAL interesting topics might fairly be found in these verses. We see here the abounding fruit of sin, for here were 10 lepers in a group and the abundance of divine power to meet it, for they were all cleansed. So, also, we see how Christ must come first a…

THE religion of Jesus is the most peaceful, mild, and benevolent religion which was ever promulgated. When we compare it with any set of dogmas invented by men, there is not one of them that can stand the least comparison with it for gentleness, mildness, and…

BRETHREN, we believe that the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger. We also believe that he that believes in Christ “has everlasting life,” and consequently must live forever. The living water which Chris…

PETER had earnestly exhorted the scattered saints to love each other “with a pure heart fervently,” and he wisely fetches his argument, not from the law, nor from nature, nor from philosophy, but from that high and divine nature which God has implanted in His…

I AM going to talk about the characteristics of this prayer in the hope that there may be many, who have never yet prayed aright, who may make this their own prayer tonight, so that from many a person here present this cry may silently go up, “Lord, save me.”…

DURING four previous Sabbaths we have been following our Lord and Master through His great achievements. We have seen Him as the end of the law, as the conqueror of Satan, as the overcomer of the world, as the Creator of all things new. And now we behold Him a…

JACOB had been sent away to Padan-aram, and he might, perhaps, have stopped there if things had been quite as he wished. As it was, he stayed there quite long enough. He seemed almost to forget his father’s house in the cares that his wives and children, and t…

I WILL scarcely allude to the context, which you ought to notice at home, but I must say as much as this the Lord cared for the cleanliness of His people while they were in the wilderness , literally so, and this text is connected with a sanitary regulation of…

YOU know the story of Hagar—of her being sent out from Abraham’s tent with her son Ishmael. It was necessary that they should be sent away from the child of promise. God, nevertheless, had designs of good towards Ishmael and his mother. Still He tried them. Wh…

THESE words are very interesting because they are the first recorded utterances of our divine Lord.

THESE rocky-ground hearers have occupied our thoughts twice recently [Sermon #2844, The Seed upon a Rock, and sermon #2845, Lacking Moisture]. You remember that the first sermon concerning them was upon the text, “They had no deepness of earth,” and that in it…

APOSTOLIC preaching was widely different from the common sermonizing of this age. Doubtless, when the apostles addressed assemblies of believers, they took distinct subjects, and kept to them, opening up and expounding the particular truths they had in view. B…

OBSERVE how Zacharias, in this his joyful song, extolled the remission of sins, as one of the most extraordinary proofs of the tender mercy of our God. He had been mute for a season, as a chastisement for his unbelief, and therefore he used his recovered speec…

OUR Lord passed through His passion in a kind of rehearsal before it came. He saw those Greeks who came to Philip, and whom Andrew and Philip brought to Him, and His heart was flushed with joy.

THESE open services, as most of you will judge, are intended to be purely evangelistic. No doubt a large number of believers are here, many of them well-established in the faith, who would like to hear a doctrine argued, a type interpreted, or an apocalyptic s…

TRAVELERS in the East tell us that among the most melancholy scenes they witness are the following—Men inflict upon themselves very grievous, voluntary wounds and then exhibit themselves in public. They even disfigure themselves with gashes and cuts in the pre…

SEE, brethren! Jesus delights to meet His people. He is no sooner risen from the dead than He sends a message by an angel to say that He will meet His disciples. His delight is in them. He loves them with a very tender love, and He is happiest when He is in th…
