Looking Unto JESUS ~ The Captain of Our Salvation!

“ T HERE IS NO OTHER SAVIOR BUT C HRIST to look to, no other MEDIATOR between God and men to make use of, no other PHYSICIAN of value for diseased and sin-sick souls to apply unto, no other FOUNTAIN but His blood for polluted souls to wash in and be cleansed, no other CITY OF REFUGE or stronghold for souls sensible of danger to flee unto and be safe, no other to come to as the BREAD OF LIFE where hungry souls may be fed, no other place of REST for those that are weary and heavy laden, nor is there any other where is plenty of all grace and security from every enemy, as in HIM; and therefore, to whom can they have recourse, but unto HIM?” -Gospel report by preacher John Gill (1697–1771 A.D.)

Taught of God by His Good Spirit

"Thou gavest also T hy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not T hy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst." -N EHEMIAH 9:20 [KJV] When we are thoroughly emptied of ourselves—when our knowledge is shewn to be ignorance, our wisdom folly, our righteousness filthy rags, and our strength weakness—then we begin to long after the teachings of the blessed Spirit. We must be purged and tried before we can value and receive the treasures of grace. When we are well exercised and tried in our souls, then we begin to long after the teachings of the Holy Spirit, that He would shed abroad the love of God in our soul, visit and guide us, overshadow us with His holy presence, and drop into our hearts His secret unction. Before we are brought here, we know not the personality of the Holy Ghost. We have no evidence in our conscience that He is God; we cannot worship and adore Him as the Third Person in the blessed Godhead. But when we are b...

Not Ashamed of God's Gospel!

There is only one true gospel! That “one faith” that Paul spoke of. This one true gospel is something worth defending, something worth suffering persecution for and something worth separating for if it becomes necessary. In this age of generic religion, universalism, religious correctness and compromise, would to God that He would put it in some hearts to “ earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” [JUDE 1:3 ] . That God would raise up a people that were more concerned for His glory and the glorious gospel of Christ than they were of offending the law and works mongers of this religious world .  If we cannot distinguish between the true gospel and the false, then we only know the false. If we can receive without any difficulty as brethren those who undoubtedly neither know nor want to hear the gospel, then we are ourselves like them. Those we refer to as “Christian” show what we really believe is the basis for being a Christian. At Antioch wh...

GOOD NEWS!

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (08-10MAY20) Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace - God's unmerited favor - from our sins and from Hell: “Whosoever believeth that JESUS IS THE CHRIST is born of God” [I JOHN 5:1 ] and all who are born of God believe that Jesus is the Christ. The title THE CHRIST signifies anointed and includes all the offices of the Son of God. To believe Him to be THE CHRIST is to believe Him to that Prophet which Moses said should come, who has declared the whole mind and will of the Father. It is to believe He is that Priest which should arise after the order of Melchizedek and make full atonement for sin and effectual intercession for transgressors. It is to believe He is King of kings and Lord of lords, whom God hath set over all things from all ages and for all time. Thi...

Christ Jesus Perfectly Saves Sinners!

“ Growing up I heard preachers talk about “the Plan of Salvation” then they would commence to tell sinners how to “get saved.” Salvation is not a “how to plan.” Salvation is of the LORD [JONAH 2:9C] ! It is not how to get saved but who saves, the LORD. The LORD purposed to save a people: Jesus Christ, God incarnate, died for those people and the Holy Spirit calls them by the gospel and regenerates them. It is all of the LORD from alpha to omega. If we are to build a house, let’s talk about the how to plan, if we are talking about salvation, let’s talk about the doing and dying and rising again of the Lord Jesus Christ.”    -Gospel report by preacher John Chapman

The Precious Things of Christ

"The substance of a diligent man is precious." -P ROVERBS 12:27 [KJV]   If the Lord has done anything for our souls by His Spirit and grace, and given us anything to taste, handle, realise, and enjoy for ourselves, we know there is a substance and reality in the things that we believe. Religion is our chief employment; our daily meditation or exercise—the main concern of our thoughts and what lies with the greatest weight upon our minds. And justly so; for it is our all. If we have religion, the religion of God's giving , it will be uppermost in our heart.   It is true we are surrounded with and often hampered by a body of sin and death; we have many worldly cares and anxieties which will intrude upon our minds; and those engaged in business have many things especially to drag them down from heaven to earth. Still, religion will be for the most part uppermost in a man's soul, where God has begun and is carrying on a gracious work. Not but what he ...

TRUST CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!

“ A naked sinner can be clothed, but a sinner covered with his own righteousness must be stripped. This is always true. We must be stripped of all that has to do with self or we cannot be clothed with that which pertains to God. We are called to live by faith; we can see nothing with the eye of sense.  The Lord Jesus has gone up on high, and we are told to wait patiently for His appearing. God's Word carried home to the heart in the power of the Holy Spirit is the basis of confidence in all things: temporal and spiritual, present and future. He tells us of Christ's completed sacrifice. We by grace believe and commit our souls to the efficacy thereof, and we know we shall never be disappointed.” -Gospel report by preacher Scott Richardson Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel sermons: https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?speakeronly=true&currsection=sermonsspeaker&keyword=Scott_Richardson
