Hope leads not to shame but to overcoming; the direct; experimental assurance of God's love; supporting testimonies; exhortation to seek this knowledge of God's love. Glory in Tribulation - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Romans 5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Getting back to true New Testament Christianity; the good news; a body of truth about the unchanging grace of God; the hope stored up for you in heaven; this message cuts across all of man's thinking; the universal message of the New Testament - do not worry; the message defined - brief life on earth; pilgrimage to eternity. The Heavenly Hope - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Colossians 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. 7 You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is ...

Charles Spurgeon - Christmas (Christian devotional)

Jesus Christ is pre-eminent in all things; unlike in the cults; God has chosen to be glorified through Christ; the mystery of the first Christmas; baby Jesus is 'the image of God' - this expression defined; not just likeness; Jesus is uncreated and eternal; all things were created in and through Jesus; he holds them together; the first man to keep the Law; the firstborn from the dead; he did it alone; give Christ all pre-eminence. The Eternal Son of God - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

An element of condemnation; outward show and wealth dismissed by the Incarnation; the importance of spiritual truth; the need to become as little children. As Little Children - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Daniel 2:44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. Luke 2:7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.

The Victory of Faith - Charles Spurgeon Sermon 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Will God dwell on Earth? - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon God meets His people in the Temple; God has come to dwell on earth; God as a helpless infant; taking the form of a man; the object of the Incarnation; man is under the wrath of God; the problem of sin. 1 Kings 8:27 “But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Grace of God - John MacDuff (Christian devotional) 1 Peter 5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

What is the message of Christmas? an event; a fact of history; Jesus : who is this person? the veil withdrawn. Christmas, an Event in History - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Two Biblical categories of man: believers and unbelievers; what determines whether we are Christians or not? the Law is still in force; the characteristics of unbelief; ignorant of the love of God; the example of AD70? the reality of hell. The Unbeliever - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. 15 They keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it now be fulfilled!”

Why does the world not turn to Christ? the forces that oppose Christian people; the forms of attack the devil uses; the devil has adopted the Christian message; the message of Christmas humbles the world; the Christmas message and modern man; the wisdom of man made to look foolish; philosophy unable to save; God saves. The Facts of Christmas - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age?

Darkness and Light - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

The Tenderness of God - John MacDuff (Christian devotional) Isaiah 40:11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

Our need to understand the enemy; the devil is a person; the devil is not divine; second in power only to God; the names of the devil; and their meanings; principalities and powers; and their functions; a Christian to be in the world; but not of it; delivered from the power of darkness; education not the answer to man's problem; man is but an instrument in the hands of the rulers of darkness. The Enemy Described - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

How to Converse with God - Charles Spurgeon Sermon Job 13:22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
