“Even like as a dream when one awaketh; so shalt thou make their image to vanish out of the city.” Ps. 73:20. 1.

Sermon 120 – On The Wedding Garment

Sermon 119 – On Worldly Folly
“But God said unto him, Thou fool!” Luke 12:20. But one of these fools is commonly wiser in his own eyes “than seven men that can render a reason.” If it were possible for a Christian, for one that has the mind which was in Christ, to despise any one, he would cordially despise those…
Sermon 118 – On A Single Eye
“If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” Matt. 6:22, 23. 1. “Simplicity and purity,” says a devout man, “are the…
Sermon 117 – On Knowing Christ After The Flesh
“Henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea, though we did know Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.” 2 Cor. 5:16. 1. I have long desired to see something clearly and intelligibly wrote on these words. This is doubtless a point of no small importance: it enters deep…

Sermon 114 – The Unity Of The Divine Being
“There is one God.” Mark 12:32. 1. And as there is one God, so there is one religion and one happiness for all men. God never intended there should be any more; and it is not possible there should. Indeed, in another sense, as the Apostle observes, “there are gods many, and lords many.” All…
Sermon 113 – The Difference Between Walking By Sight, And Walking By Faith
“We walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Cor. 5:7. 1. How short is this description of real Christians! And yet how exceeding full! It comprehends, it sums up, the whole experience of those that are truly such, from the time they are born of God till they remove into Abraham’s bosom. For, who are…
Sermon 112 – The Rich Man And Lazarus
“If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” Luke 16:31. 1. How strange a paradox is this! How contrary to the common apprehension of men! Who is so confirmed in unbelief as not to think, “If one came to me from the dead, I…
