And now we read the word of God, beginning in verse 27 of Luke, chapter 5. And after these things he went forth and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his own …
We open the word of God to Luke chapter 7, and I begin reading at verse 36 about a woman who discovered that Jesus Christ truly is the friend of sinners. And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and sat down to eat. And behold, a woman …
I invite you to open the word of God to 1 Corinthians chapter 12. We're going to read from verse 4 to verse 11, and then from verse 27 to verse 31. 1 Corinthians 12, beginning at verse 4, Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the …
There are few chapters in the Bible that are more misunderstood than 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am become as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all …
Beginning this evening and continuing for, oh, five or six evenings, I'd like us to consider 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13, and 14 concerning spiritual gifts.

And so we are not stretching scripture one bit when we take Psalm 45 to picture my heart relationship to Jesus Christ. And I think I had better say it at the very beginning of this message. The greatest need that you and I have tonight is to have a deeper love for Jesus Christ. I don't care what …
Psalm 87, his foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me. Behold Philistia, entire with Ethiopia. This man was born …
We have two portions of the Word of God for our consideration today, one in the Old Testament and one in the New. Our Old Testament portion is Exodus chapter 17, the first seven verses, and the New Testament explanation of this in John 7, 37 through 39. Reading from Exodus 17, And Moses said unto …
We turn to two passages in the word of God. We come to Numbers chapter 21 beginning at verse 4. And we turn to John chapter 3, beginning at verse 14. First the Old Testament fact and then the New Testament truth. Numbers 21:4, And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to compass …
