Weeping for the souls who are deceived Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 Acts 20:21 That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;…
“JACOB HAVE I LOVED, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED” -Romans 9:13 - WHY DID GOD LOVE JACOB AND HATE ESAU? I can tell you why God LOVED Jacob–IT IS SOVEREIGN GRACE! There was nothing in Jacob that could make God love him; there was everything about him that might have made God hate him as much as He did Esau, and a great deal more. But it was because God is infinitely gracious that…
In Sunday School, we are at the end of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus leaves us with these hard, straight in your face words. He says this. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in…

From Spurgeon’s sermon, “The Fruits of Grace” “Long before the day-star knew its place, before God had spoken existence out of nothing, before angel’s wing had stirred the unnavigated ether, before a solitary song had disturbed the solemnity of the silence in which God reigned supreme, he had entered into solemn council with himself, with his Son, and with his Spirit, and had in that council decreed, determined, proposed, and predestinated the salvation of…

Dr. Harry Ironside told of a man who gave his testimony, telling how God had sought him and found him. How God had loved him, called him, saved him, delivered him, cleansed him, and healed him. It was a tremendous testimony to the glory of God. After the meeting, one person in the service took him aside and said, “You know, I appreciate all that you said about what God did for you, but…
