Dear ones, Please find enclosed the link to a Christ-honoring Gospel message (46 min) from preacher Henry Mahan. Link:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8pR3mE66w The LORD JESUS Christ be magnified! ==========    What must I do to be saved? The Bible gives a clear and timeless answer: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31 ) In this powerful biblical sermon, you’ll discover the heart of the Gospel as revealed throughout Scripture. Beginning with the Philippian jailer’s question, this message explains why salvation is found by faith in Jesus Christ alone. This sermon answers four foundational questions every person must face: • Who is Jesus of Nazareth? • What did Jesus accomplish through His life, death, and resurrection? • Why did Christ die for sinners? • Where is Jesus Christ today? You’ll also learn: Why salvation is by grace through faith The deity of Jesus Christ The biblical doctrine of the Trinity Christ’s perfect o...

"But we see Jesus." -Hebrews 2:9 [KJV]   Did your eyes ever see Him? Do look into conscience—did your eyes ever see Jesus? I do not mean your natural, your bodily eyes; but the eye of faith, the eye of the soul. I will tell you what you have felt, if you ever saw Jesus. Your heart was softened and melted, your affections drawn heavenward, your soul penetrated with thankfulness and praise, your conscience sprinkled with atoning blood, your mind lifted up above all earthly things to dwell and centre in the bosom of the blessed Immanuel.    Do you think, then, you have seen Jesus by the eye of faith? Then you have seen the perfection of beauty, the consummation of pure loveliness; you have seen the image of the invisible God; you have seen all the perfections and glorious character of the Godhead shining forth in Him that was nailed to Calvary's tree. I am sure such a sight as that must melt the most obdurate heart, and draw tears from the most flinty eyes; su...

"Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? " - Song of Solomon 8:5 [KJV]   Who! the wonder and joy of angels, the envy of devils, the contempt of the world, because a miracle of grace. Upon whom shines the glory of God’s justice, the riches of mercy, the abounding of His love, and the efficacy of His power? It is, a poor sinner, hopeless, and helpless in himself, coming up from a dismal, dreadful, dangerous state, leaning upon one who is mighty to save. Some over-rate Christians. They paint their characters so very strong and perfect, as though they forgot that they are in themselves nothing but poor sinners, whose nature is only evil continually. And these people also under-rate them, not considering what they are in Christ— new creatures, perfectly righteous—without spot of sin— infinitely glorious and comely in God’s sight.    Consider, (1st.) this wilderness. You are in it, and will be coming up out of it, till you get out...

"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come." -I Corinthians 11:26 [KJV]   An evening or two since, my mind was led out to the contemplation of the supper of the Lord, as a heart-affecting ordinance, to make the Lord's table a Bochim . I hope, my soul, that in this view, thou didst find it profitable. Here is another proposed to thy meditation, which, under grace, will prove equally so, in which it comes home to thy affections as a subject of holy joy. Look at it in this light, and remark what the apostle saith upon it. The Lord's death, which is thy life, is set forth by every renewed celebration. And what a delightful thought is that.    As the body needs its constant regular meals, so doth the soul. And as Jesus is the whole of life, and strength, and happiness to His people; as oft as we receive the holy supper, we testify to the world of men and angels, that He is all this; and we glory in sett...

"Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else." -Isaiah 45:22 [KJV] Till in soul feeling, we are at "the ends of the earth," we have no eyes to see, no ears to hear, no hearts to feel what a glorious Mediator there is at the right hand of the Father. And the more we feel to be at "the ends of the earth," the deeper is our need of Him; and as the Spirit unfolds the mystery of the glorious Person of Christ, and reveals His beauty, the more does He become the object of the soul's admiration and adoration. And O what a Mediator is held out in the word of truth to living faith! What a subject for spiritual faith to look to, for a lively hope to anchor in, and for divine love to embrace!    That the Son of God, who lay in the bosom of the Father from all eternity, equal with the Father and the Holy Ghost, the second Person in the glorious Trinity, should condescend to take upon Him our nature, ...

"Every one who useth milk, is unskillful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe."   - Hebrews 5:13 [KJV]   This is a sharp reproof. As then, so now there are many who need it. The word rendered unskillful, in the margin of our bibles, is, hath no experience. Christian experience is much talked of, but too little understood. Many are ready to give a long detail of experience which they have had of one thing and another, but you can find nothing of the word of righteousness in it. It all begins in self, ends in self, and tends to exalt self. O! there is a great deal of self-seeking, self-soothing, and self-complacency, in what is called Christian experience.    But real Christian experience is that inward proof or trial, which our minds have of the word of righteousness; how the belief of it has brought relief to our guilty consciences, ease to our troubled souls, and rest to our weary minds. From hence, Christ, the sum and substance of the word of...
