Strangers And Pilgrims
A Sermon Preached By Grey Hazlerigg On September 26th, 1883 “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”—Hebrews 11:13 You and I will have to depart from this world, and what we have to think of is to die right. I want to speak to you tonight of those who died right. It is not every professor who dies right, and I am afraid it is not every professor in this place who will die right. Hearing a good minister a great many years is not enough to prepare you to die right, nor hearing a quantity of…

Christ, The Propitiation For Our Sins
A Sermon Preached By Mr. Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 13th December, 1874. The Twenty-First Anniversary Of The Opening Of The Chapel. “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”—1 John 4:10 The Apostle Paul in his Epistle to Timothy, says, “Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness and then he enumerates some of its many branches. The first branch which he sets forth is the manifestation of God in our nature: “God was manifest in the flesh and hence when the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in our world, it is said that his name shall be called Emanuel—God with us; and…

Reason Baffled
Dear Brother in the Bowels of the once-slaughtered, but now exalted Christ,—I received your kind letter, and thank you for all favors. What a divine mercy it is that the Lord reigns; and, bless his dear name, he can make no mistake; so that whatever crosses or afflictions he sends to or suffers to come upon his people, they are all subject to his sovereign control, and must, in the end, work for their good. Flesh and blood often say, “How can this be?” I have long proved that I have no business to meddle with the hows, whys, and wherefores; but God knows, my brother, fools will be meddling; and, in very deed, I am one of these fools, and very often both call…

The Sun Of Righteousness Has Risen
Some of the points covered in this sermon: • Providing a historic context for the book of Malachi • Highlighting three great events predicted by Malachi in the fourth chapter—the destruction of Jerusalem, the advent of Christ and the ministry of John the Baptist • Underscoring the twofold description of Christ—the Sun of righteousness shall arise, with healing in His wings • Pointing out the threefold description of God’s elect people—they fear the name of the Lord, they shall go forth and they shall grow up as calves in the stall

True Wisdom
My dear young Friend,—I hope by this time, if it be the sovereign pleasure of the Lord, that you are revived, both in body and mind; and that whatever the Lord designs concerning your body, he has graciously been pleased to reveal “Christ in you, the hope of glory;” and if so, you will be enabled to say, All is well. Remember, my dear young friend, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” To be brought by the power of God the Holy Ghost to fear the Lord, to have a tender conscience, and to tremble at God's word, is, in very deed, the beginning of wisdom. And to such poor trembling, broken-hearted souls, the Lord will, in his own time, look…

The Prayer Of Jabez
A Sermon Preached By Mr. Daniel Smart On Sunday Afternoon, April 23rd, 1876. “And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh, that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested”—1 Chronicles 4:9,10 “And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren.” What honour God has put upon His saints! Heirs of God and joint-heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ, sons and daughters of the Lord God Almighty! “And if children, then…
