Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spiritual Perspective and Other Sermons This saying was addressed to Scribes and Pharisees. As a class, they were given to make religion too much a matter of outward forms and ceremonies - too little a matter of the heart. There were no doubt Pharisees and Pharisees and an idea of Pharisaism derived from the New Testament alone would probably be exceedingly unjust. But still, making every allowance and giving them credit for a large measure of real earnestness and real goodness, there can be no doubt that the average Pharisee was far too much engrossed with ceremonial considerations, with conduct rather than with character, with ritual rather than with moral uprightness: and Jesus, with his perception that it is character which gives to conduct its abiding grace and glory, laid his finger at once upon this want of proportion in the prevailing views of duty and religion, and tried to make people discern more clearly what things were of real importance and what were comparatively insignificant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spiritual Perspective and Other Sermons The Discourses of Mr. Perry published, with a Memoir, early in the present year, wore to a large extent "occasional" sermons, delivered in connection with some special event or day or institution. It is thought, however, that Mr. Perry's pulpit deliverances were, by reason of their simplicity and directness and their freedom from marked personal idiosyncrasies, of a kind unusually well adapted for use by lay preachers, or parents conducting services at home; such workers often being reluctant to rely on their own compositions, yet finding much difficulty in meeting with printed sermons entirely suitable to their purpose. In the selection of the present Sermons the want thus indicated has throughout been kept in view. While, therefore, all these Sermons are such as are well remembered for their beauty and force by those who heard them, they are all such as may be redelivered on any Sunday in the year. The manuscripts from which they are printed bear occasional acknowledgments of indebtedness to Robertson, of Brighton, Robert Collyer, Brooke Herford, and other preachers of a liberal faith. It has not been thought necessary to investigate the exact measure of the influences thus referred to. Charles John Perry was born at Bulwell, near Nottingham, in Juno, 1852, became Minister of the Hope Street Church, Liverpool, in September, 1878, and passed away on October the 9th, 1883.

Download or read book Hope in the Dark written by Craig Groeschel and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can God be good when life is not? Rediscover faith in the character, power, and presence of God. Even in the questions. Even in the hurt. "I want to believe, I want to have hope, but . . ." Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it's the hurt that shouts the loudest. In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the story of the father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus, saying, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" In the man's sincere plea, Jesus heard the tension in the man's battle-scarred heart. He healed not only the boy but the father too, driving out the hopelessness that had overtaken him. He can do the same for us today. As Groeschel shares his pain surrounding the health challenges of his daughter, he acknowledges the questions we may ask in our own deepest pain: "Where was God when I was being abused?" "Why was my child born with a disability?" "Why did the cancer come back?" "Why are all my friends married and I'm alone?" He invites us to wrestle with such questions as we ask God to honor our faith and heal our unbelief. Because in the middle of your profound pain, you long for authentic words of understanding and hope. You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good. Hope in the Dark is also available in Spanish, Esperanza en la Oscuridad.

Download or read book Preaching the Presence of God written by Eunjoo Mary Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Into this new wave of homiletical insight comes a remarkable book by Eunjoo Mary Kim. Over against any notion of homiletical theory created in a cultural vacuum, Kim focuses with precision and insight on the Asian American context, showing how Asian American Christians are affected by the delicate interplay between the traditional religious heritage of the East and the new cultural situation in America. The Asian American pulpit will be richer for her efforts, and the field of homiletics will be wiser for her vision." --from the Foreword Kim's much-needed resource provides clear and thoughtful insights on preaching from an Asian American perspective. This book first explores the distinctiveness of the Asian American congregation and spirituality, and then goes further to develop a theology of preaching that fully considers the uniqueness of this spirituality. In addition, Kim provides sound perspectives on Asian American biblical interpretation, helpful sermon development and design, and a sample sermon to make this book invaluable--a resource that sets the standard in Asian American preaching.

Download or read book Success and the Christian written by A. W. Tozer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success and the Christian is a compilation of A.W. Tozer sermons on the subject matter of spiritual maturity—both its cost and criteria for the believer. The overall purpose of this collection is to "promote the personal heart religion"' among God's people, something Tozer consistently emphasized. Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should be the Christian's highest goal. So what holds us back from authentic spiritual success? A.W. Tozer contends that it is the excess baggage that most Christians carry that prevents them from going further with God. In this insightful and prophetic book, Tozer shows how we can recognize and clear away the stumbling blocks that keep us from a dynamic relationship with our Savior.
