J.W. McGarvey preaches about the definitions of receiving the Bible as the word of God and the only rule of faith and practice. He distinguishes between the word of God and the words of God, emphasizing the divine inspiration behind the Bible's contents. McGarvey discusses the narrowest ground of belief, where many believers accept the Bible based on traditional upbringing, and broader grounds of belief, including the credibility of the Bible's historical and prophetic accounts. He delves into the inspiration of the Bible writers, highlighting the fulfillment of prophecies and the endorsement of the Old Testament by Jesus and the Apostles as evidence of divine inspiration.

John Chrysostom preaches on Paul's return to Jerusalem, highlighting his obedience to God's command despite the danger he faced, the rejection of his testimony by the Jews, and the unfolding of prophecies. Chrysostom emphasizes Paul's boldness in facing persecution, his defense of his Roman citizenship, and his adherence to the law even in challenging situations. He contrasts true virtues like gentleness, boldness, and magnanimity with their vices, urging the congregation to cultivate genuine virtues and avoid falling into the traps of selfishness and passion.

David Servant preaches on the significance of God's healing power demonstrated at the Pool of Bethesda, highlighting how God mercifully performs signs to provoke belief and sometimes heals people without faith. He emphasizes that healings are gifts of the Spirit and encourages those who witness others being healed. The sermon also delves into the spiritual lesson that sin can lead to God's judgment in the form of sickness, as seen in Jesus' warning to the healed man. Ultimately, the lesson is that Jesus will one day resurrect everyone, with believers characterized by good deeds and unbelievers facing judgment based on their actions.
