Preaching Christ R C Sproul

 

The church of the twenty-first century faces many crises. One of the most serious is the crisis of preaching. Widely diverse philosophies of preaching vie for acceptance among contemporary clergy. Some see the sermon as a fireside chat; others, as a stimulus for psychological health; still others, as a commentary on contemporary politics. But some still view the exposition of sacred Scripture as a necessary ingredient to the office of preaching. In light of these views, it is always helpful to go to the New Testament to seek or glean the method and message found in the biblical record of apostolic preaching.

KAMIL ABDUL MESSIAH

A Syrian Convert from Islam to Christianity

 


BY

THE REV. HENRY HARRIS JESSUP, D.D.

For Forty-one Years a Missionary in Syria

This book has been written as a labor of love. Its subject was one of nature’s noblemen.

It is not easy for a Mohammedan to embrace Christianity, but Kamil’s history shows that when he is converted the Moslem becomes a strong and vigorous Christian. The element of divine truth which Mohammed derived from the Old and New Testaments, and which runs like a vein of gold through that extraordinary book, the Koran, teaching the existence and attributes of God, the responsibility of man, and a final judgment, is a good foundation to build upon.

But to reach the foundation to sweep away the rubbish of childish fables, traditions, and perversions which overlie the original monotheism of the Old Testament, and disarm the accumulated prejudices of twelve centuries—this is the work of the divine Spirit.

Kamil was plainly taught by the Spirit, who revealed Christ to him as his personal Saviour. May it prove to be true that he was but the first-fruits of a mighty harvest to be gathered for Christ among the Mohammedans of the Arab race.

Hope For the Broken

 

Burk Parsons

Every home is dysfunctional because everyone is sinful. There is no perfect family this side of heaven, and if we were perfect parents, neither we nor our children would need a Savior. When we consider the state of the family at the beginning of the twenty-first century, our tendency is to reflect nostalgically on imagined idyllic days of generations past when families weren’t perfect but pretty close to it, or so we like to think.

As fallen people, born into fallen families, and living in a fallen world, the simple truth is that there has never been a time when families were not dysfunctional. To see this, we don’t need to look at the world around us or even at world history, all we need to do is look at the church and at every family in all of Scripture — from the murderous family of God’s son Adam, to God’s son Israel, to the overwhelming dysfunction of the families recorded in the genealogy of Jesus. We cannot, therefore, idolize families of the past or present, all of which are sinful, and we cannot make our own families or the families of others into earthly gods that can fulfill our every need and be the ultimate source of our joy, peace, and comfort.

This is not to say, however, that there are no examples of God-honoring families in Scripture and in our own day, for indeed there are, but it is to say there are no perfect families that don’t desperately need to know, believe, and apply the gospel of Christ. Although perfect healing will only exist in our eternal home, our present hope for our broken homes is the redeeming, forgiving, reconciling, and transforming gospel of God for God’s people.

We know the content of the gospel, but we fail to trust God’s promises in the gospel, and we fail to apply God’s gospel promises in our lives individually, affecting, in turn, our families. For example, as men, we sometimes think that all we need to do to raise good kids is simply be good dads, when, in fact, what every kid needs to see first and foremost is how his dad loves his mother with a repentant, patient, and sacrificial love that not only swears to die for her (which we’ll likely never have the opportunity to do) but that strives to live for her each and every day, which is precisely what Jesus did for us. Our Lord didn’t merely come and die, He lived for us as well. When we believe and apply the gospel, we will not need to pretend we are sinless but will instead be free to repent of our sins and ask forgiveness as we look to God’s true and faithful Son, Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

God showed His love for us by sending His Son to live and die for us, and as men we are to show our love for our families by pointing them to Jesus Christ whose love for us never changes. And though I hear it all the time, there’s no such thing as “falling out of love.” Christian couples don’t ever fall out of love, they fall out of being repentant. The gospel hope for our broken homes is our broken and contrite hearts that turn daily to Jesus Christ and His brokenness for us on the cross as our Savior and Lord.

THE CROSS OF CHRIST

 

An Unpublished speech given by missionary Cornelia Dalenberg
at the First Reformed Church of South Holland, Illinois in 1936

The message of Christianity to the unevangelized world is salvation by way of the Cross of Christ. That was the message of Paul, and it is our message today. The need for it is as great now as it was then. The meaning of the message has not changed, and its power to transform lives has not grown less. It is this message that will reconcile the world to God.

 

Paul, in his Second Epistle to the Corinthians, in speaking of God reconciling the world unto Himself through Jesus Christ, says that unto us has been given the word of reconciliation. Therefore, he says, "we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."

Every missionary then, who carries this message of reconciliation to the unsaved world, is an ambassador of Christ, an ambassador sent out by the church. And when a missionary returns he is, in a sense, an ambassador from the mission field with a message for the church at home. If the people among whom I have been working could have sent you a message, it would have been about the power of the Cross of Christ in Arabia.

NECESSITY OF THE ATONEMENT John A. Broadus

The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth from all sin. I John 1:7

My hearers, what is the most wonderful event that ever occurred on earth, that ever happened in the universe? The history of our race is so full of wonderful events-you might well pause for your answer. My answer would be this: by far the most wonderful thing that has ever happened in the universe, is the atoning death of Jesus Christ the Lord. If without philosophizing, if in simplicity you will take what God's Word declares concerning it, you will not only see this to be so, perhaps you will feel it to be so.

Power in Preaching: Decide (1 Corinthians 2:1–5), Part 1 Of 3

Ray Ortlund is pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville, Tennessee. He served as Associate Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois from 1989 to 1998, and he has pastored churches in California, Oregon, and Georgia. In addition to numerous essays and articles, he has authored five books.

Why are we talking about preaching with power? Because of what Christianity is. Christianity is “a divine and supernatural light immediately imparted to the soul by the Spirit of God.”2 It is the living God coming down through the gospel of Jesus Christ to change us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Real Christianity is pervasively miraculous. The Bible says,

Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, . . . doing wonders? (Exod 15:11)3

Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children (Ps 90:16).

No eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. You meet him who joyfully works righteousness (Isa 64:4–5a).

A Snare in Your Midst DR R C Sproul

When is a church not a church? This question has received various answers throughout history, depending on one’s perspective and evaluation of certain groups. There exists no monolithic interpretation of what constitutes a true church. However, in classic Christian orthodoxy certain standards have emerged that define what we call “catholic,” or universal, Christianity. This universal Christianity points to the essential truths that have been set forth historically in the ecumenical creeds of the first millennium and are part of the confession of virtually every Christian denomination historically. However, there are at least two ways in which a religious group fails to meet the standards of being a church.

JESUS AND THE SCRIPTURES. Adloph Saphir

The Life of Saphir can be found on the seminary blog

http://samuelzwemertheologicalseminary.blogspot.com/

Jesus, in his teaching, constantly alludes to the writings of Moses and the prophets. He refers to almost every period of the history recorded in Scripture. He speaks of the creation of man, the institution of marriage, the death of Abel, the days of Noah, the destruction of Sodom, the history of Abraham, the appearance of God in the burning bush, the manna in the wilderness, the miracle of the brazen serpent, the wanderings of David, the glory of Solomon, the ministry of Elijah and Elisha, the sign of Jonah, the martyrdom of Zechariah; events which embrace the whole range of the Jewish record. And not merely do we meet with these direct references: the allusions to Scripture are almost innumerable; and every careful reader of Christ's discourses, who possesses a knowledge of the so-called Old Testament, must feel convinced that Jesus knew the Scripture from a child; and that his mind, his memory, his imagination, his whole inner man, was filled with the treasures of the written Word.
