Drawing primarily from The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual knowledge of God is a divine revelation granted by the Holy Spirit rather than human intellect or theological study. Drawing primarily from Ephesians 1, the text argues that believers must rely on faith and love as evidence of their salvation while continuously growing in grace through the illumination of the Spirit.  The message contrasts this intimate, experimental knowledge with empty religious formalism, asserting that Christ alone is the source of wisdom and redemption. It encourages the audience to maintain a humble posture as sinners saved by grace, recognizing that all understanding comes from God's sovereign will. Ultimately, the preaching calls f...

Message preached by Henry T. Mahan (28 minutes.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruB0kqA9Ko0 The Greatest Promise — “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 In this powerful Gospel sermon, we look closely at one of the most comforting and glorious promises in Scripture: Jesus Christ promises rest to those who come to Him. What does it really mean to come to Christ?  Where can sinners find forgiveness, peace, salvation, and rest for their souls? This message points us away from human works, religion, morality, and self-righteousness and directs us to Christ alone. Jesus Christ is able to save, willing to save, and faithful to fulfill His promises . Salvation is not found in a denomination, religious profession, good works, or human effort. Salvation is found in a Person—Jesus Christ. This sermon explores: The greatest promise of Jesus Christ Matthew 11:27 –30 and the invitation to come to Christ What it means to hear th...

"...and he sought where to weep."   -Genesis 43:30 [KJV]   To weep! What! when he saw his beloved brother Benjamin, and heard that his affectionate aged father was alive and well! Yes: the sight of the one, and the news of the other, created such an ecstasy of joy in his heart, as was too great to bear. He sought where to vent it by tears. O, had one followed good Joseph to his chamber, and heard what passed there between his God and his soul! Methinks I see the dear man fall prostrate, crying out in a flood of grateful, joyful tears, O, what a God do I serve! What amazing scenes of His providence have opened to my view! How has the Lord appeared graciously in my behalf! how strangely has He exalted me in life! and now, to crown all, and complete my happiness, I see my beloved brother, and hear of the welfare of my honoured father.    Doubtless he wept, he prayed; he praised, he rejoiced, he loved, he adored his God, his kind preserver, his bountiful b...

"Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, He hath bid His guests." -Zephaniah 1:7 [KJV] My soul, here is a portion of God's word, which, like the pillar of the cloud in the camp of Israel, hath a double aspect; it becomes a cloud of trembling indeed, of darkness, dread, and fear, to all who, spiritually considered, are yet in Egyptian bondage, but a glorious refreshing light to the people of God. The presence of the Lord God is a solemn presence to all, and will command silence, yea, a trembling. "The LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him." And is the day of the Lord at hand? Yea, verily, every day brings it nearer; every breath, every pulse that beats, shortens the distance. There is, there must be, a day, in which "the Lord will judge the world in righteousness, and minister true judgment unto the people."     And observe...

"Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD... I also have heard thee, saith the LORD." -II Kings 22:19 [KJV]   This tenderness of heart was a mark in Josiah, on which the Lord, so to speak, put His finger; it was a special token for good which God selected from all the rest, as a testimony in His favour. The heart is always tender which God has touched with His finger; this tenderness being the fruit of the impression of the Lord's hand upon the conscience. You may know the difference between a natural conscience and a heart tender in God's fear by this, that the natural conscience is always superstitious and uncertain; as the Lord says, it "strains out a gnat, and swallows a camel." It is exceedingly observant of self-inflicted austerities, and very fearful of breaking through self-imposed rules; and whilst it will commit sin which a man who has the fear of God in his heart would not do for the world, it wil...
