Scripture(s): John 9:4 | | Description: DELIVERED ON LORD'S-DAY MORNING, JULY 31ST, 1870, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4. IF this ninth chapter of John is intended to be a continuation of the history contained in the eighth, as we think it is, it brings before us a very extraordinary fact. You will observe in the eighth chapter that our Lord was about to be stoned by the Jews; he therefore withdrew himself from the circle of his infuriated foes, and passed through the crowd, not I think in a hurried manner, but in a calm and dignified way, as one not at all disconcerted, but wholly self-possessed. His disciples, who had seen his danger, gathered round him while he quietly retreated. The group wended their way with firm footsteps till they reached the outside of the temple. At the gate there sat a man well known to have been blind from his birth; our Savior was so little flurried by the danger which had threatened him, that he paused and fixed his eye upon the poor beggar, attentively surveying him. He stayed his onward progress to work the miracle of this man's healing. If it be so that the two chapters make up but one narrative, and I think it is, though we are not absolutely sure, then we have before us a most memorable instance of the marvellous calmness of our Savior while under danger...

| | | Dangerously Comfortable Christianity by Alan Baker by Revival Conference Fredericton 2019
Topic: Revival Conference
Scripture(s): John 9:4 | | Description: Alan Baker gives a passioned plea with North America believers to wake up and do the works of God in our generation and time. He shares from the key verse: "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work." Do we have tears for the Lost? Do we have intimacy with the Lord? Do we need personal Revival? Are we ready for persecution?

Topic:
Scripture(s): John 9:21 | | Description: DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. He is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.-John 9:21 THOSE of you, dear friends, who were present this morning will remember that our subject was Jesus Christ himself. We dwelt upon his blessed person. Our faith is fixed on him; our affections are drawn to him; our hopes all bend toward him. Though everything he said or did is precious, yet Jesus himself stands first in our estimation. To know him, to believe him, to love him, is the very essence of our Christianity. Tonight we change our theme. There is a himself in our text this evening- a himself tis true of a much humbler order. How stand we each one for himself? Our individuality and the personal responsibilities which fall upon ourselves in reference to Christ must not be lost sight of. If, for instance, a spiritual miracle has been wrought upon us, if we are obliged to confess-nay, if we are delighted to confess-that he has opened our eyes, then we are bound, especially those of us who are of ripe understanding, who may be said to be of full age, we are bound to bear our own personal testimony to him. The allegation and the appeal may alike apply to each one of us, He is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. Jesus Christ himself bore our sins, as we heard this morning. He gave himself for us, he served us, not by proxy, but by personal consecration; not by alms doled out pitifully, but by his life surrendered...

| | | Where Does Passion Come From? by Paul Washer
Topic: Passion
Scripture(s): Isaiah 6:1-7, John 12:41 | | Description: Paul Washer sets out to answer the question of where his passion comes from, and in so doing he traces a path to the holiness and extra-ordinary majesty of God as seen by Isaiah. He reveals his own love for Godly men of old, who thought great thoughts about God, and whose writings have been influential in his own life. Reading from some of their writings, as well as his own notes, he explains something of what Isaiah saw. The Apostle John shows that Isaiah saw a revelation of the Son (thereby proving his eternal deity), yet Isaiah saw only an image, reduced to what his finite capacity could receive. Holiness is so much more than we think; holiness is the highest statement which could ever be made in regard to God; it speaks of separateness and uniqueness. And what is the effect of its revelation? We are faced with our own uncleanness and nothingness in the presence of a holy God; yet at the same time a Saviour is revealed to us in his condescending love. Let all flesh be abased, that Gods glory may be the more elevated. (73 minutes)

| | | | | | | | | | | Clashing Kingdoms by Mike Sharrett
Topic: Jesus Arrest
Scripture(s): John 18:12-40 | | Description: Were gone from a quiet olive grove to the power center of Israel. The sparks are flying. Why? Friction. Kingdoms are clashing. God wants to enrich our faith by showing us the glory of Christs kingdom, compared to the impotence of three competing kingdoms, and thus save you from an inferior foundation for your life. 1. The pride of self-righteous religion (the high priest). 2. The fear of the individualist (Peter). 3. The power of the cynical, unbelieving world. (Pilate)

| | | Jesus, The King of Truth by C. H. Spurgeon
Topic:
Scripture(s): John 18:37 | | Description: A SERMON DELIVERED ON THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19TH, 1872, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37. THE season is almost arrived when by the custom of our fellow-citizens we are led to remember the birth of the holy child Jesus, who was born king of the Jews. I shall not, however, conduct you to Bethlehem, but to the foot of Calvary; there we shall learn, from the Lord's own lips, something concerning the kingdom over which he rules, and thus we shall be led to prize more highly the joyous event of his nativity. We are told, by the apostle Paul, that our Lord Jesus Christ before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession. It was a good confession as to the manner of it, for our Lord was truthful, gentle, prudent, patient, meek, and yet, withal, uncompromising, and courageous. His spirit was not cowed by Pilate's power, nor exasperated by his sneers. In his patience he possessed his soul, and remained the model witness for the truth both in his silence and in his speech. He witnessed a good confession also, as to the matter of it; for, though he said but little, that little was all that was needful.

| | | The Witness of Truth by Carter Conlon
Topic: Truth
Scripture(s): John 18:37-38, Proverbs 7:15 | | Description: Its one thing to tell people about God its another thing to be a living witness of His truth. Truth is an effective witness when our speech and actions are one. Truth has a confidence in God that believes He is in control and He works all circumstances for our good. When Truth stands before the unsaved and God begins to reveal Himself through our lives, the truth that is in us will force a man to search his heart. The man or woman that is a witness to truth shows a dying world that there us a Living God that bears witness to Himself through our lives.
