THE centurion of Capernaum is an example to us in a matter which bears upon the collection appointed for today, which you know, is for hospitals. This good soldier cared about the sick and was anxious for the recovery of his palsied servant. Every employer sho…

MARTIN LUTHER, the great defender of the faith, who passionately loved the doctrine of justification by faith, once grew so thoroughly out of temper with the opponents who quoted the apostle James against him, that he almost threatened to rend his epistle out…

IF YOU want to know a man’s character, it is well to inquire at his home. What do his children and servants think of him? What is the estimate formed by those who are always with him? George Whitefield was once asked his opinion of a person, and his answer was…

“OH that I knew where I might find him !” Observe that Job is so taken up with his one great desire, that he forgets that everybody else is not thinking in the same way, and he uses a pronoun, though he has not before uttered the name of God. The man is carrie…

IT is an old saying and possibly a true one, that every man is seeking after happiness. If it be so, then every man should read this Psalm, for this directs us where happiness is to be found in its highest degree and purest form. “Blessed,” says David, “is suc…

JESUS Christ, the man of Nazareth, who is also the Son of God, was crucified, dead, and buried, and the third day, He rose again from the dead. After He had showed Himself to His disciples for forty days—sometimes to one alone, at other times, to two or three…

THE expression is paradoxical, and seems somewhat singular; yet it was the experience of the apostle Paul, a man of calm spirit, by no means fanciful; a wise man, and far removed from a fanatic. It was the experience of one, who was led of the Spirit of God, a…

A FEW Sabbath mornings ago I spoke to you upon those memorable words of the great Father, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” [ The Voice from the Cloud and the Voice of the Beloved — Sermon #1727.] We now go a step farther, and see how the lov…

DO you observe here, my brethren, how God declares that He would not only punish Israel for gross overt acts of sin, but that He would also bring upon the nation terrible chastisements for their thoughts?—a solemn warning, full of instruction to us.

IT is absolutely certain, dear friends, that whatever our personal characters may be, we shall have to know, by practical experience, the meaning of the word “trouble.” Saint or sinner, “man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” The road to heaven i…

MEN think a great deal of anyone who has power with royalty. If it were said, concerning somebody in this place, “That individual has very great power with the Queen,” there are a great many of you who would turn at once to look at that person. He who has grea…

THE previous part of this chapter declares the overthrow of Israel’s cruel oppressor, “Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces.” The Assyrian and Babylonian power had been the great tyrant of the ages, and the Lord had employed it for…

THE last words will suffice us for a text, “Jesus only.” When Peter saw our Lord with Moses and Elias, he exclaimed, “Master, it is good to be here,” as if he implied that it was better to be with Jesus, and Moses, and Elias, than to be with Jesus only.

IT is always an advantage to have the laws of a kingdom as concise as possible. No one will ever be able to tell how much of litigation and consequent calamity has been caused in this country by the confused condition of our laws. When Napoleon issued his cele…

YOU who have been here on recent Thursday nights, will remember how Israel was described at the time to which our text refers. [See sermon #2564, Strange Ways of Love and #2569, The Backsliders Door of Hope].

WE commonly say that “there is no rule without an exception,” and certainly the rule that there is no rule without an exception has an exception to itself, for the rules of God are without exception. The rule that God will punish the ungodly is without an exce…

THE Pharisees in our Lord’s day were very fond of high-sounding titles. They had their diplomas, like our modern doctors of divinity, and they took good care to pride themselves upon them. Some were called “Rab,” others “Rabbi,” others “Rabbini.” They had thei…

THERE is a wonderful variety in the acts of God, and yet withal there is a most singular uniformity.

THE Lord said to Eliphaz and his friends, “You have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has,” and therefore we must always regard what they said with careful discrimination. They were wise men according to their light, but they were qui…

WHEN the apostles met on the first Lord’s Day after Jesus had risen, Thomas was the only disciple absent out of the eleven, on the second Lord’s Day Thomas was there, and he was the only disciple doubting out of the eleven. How much the fact of his doubting wa…

THE promises of God are to the believer an inexhaustible mine of wealth. Happy is it for him if he knows how to search out their secret veins and enrich himself with their hid treasures. They are to him an armory containing all manner of offensive and defensiv…

THIS text has within it a profound deep, but I shall not attempt to fathom it. There was a company projected a few months ago for attempting to recover ingots of gold and bars of silver, supposed to be lying at the bottom of the sea in a Spanish galleon which…

SATAN has a deadly hatred towards all good men and they may rest assured that somewhere or other, he will meet them on their way to the Celestial City. John Bunyan, in his immortal allegory, placed him in one particular spot and described him as Apollyon strad…
