In this sermon, the speaker focuses on three key points from Psalm 27. The first point is that sometimes we receive an evil report about ourselves, which can discourage us. The speaker references the story of the 12 spies sent into the promised land, where 10 of them gave a negative report, causing the people to doubt and weep. The second point is that we need to listen to the voice of God and put away the voices that condemn us. The speaker emphasizes that God has promised us victory and we should trust in His word. The third point is that we should not compare ourselves to others or let our own failings and struggles discourage us. Instead, we should focus on God's faithfulness and believe in His promises.

John Henry Jowett preaches about the different 'prison-houses' we may find ourselves in: the prison-house of sin, sorrow, and death. He emphasizes that only the Lord has the power to deliver us from these dark and suffocating places, whether it be the haunting shapes of our iniquities, the cold walls of grief, or the gate of death. Jowett encourages trust in the Lord as the one who can bring us out of these prisons and lead us into the realm of eternal day.

Hugh Martin preaches about the joyous spirituality of Christian pilgrimage, emphasizing the genuine admiration of the cross of Christ that alienates believers from the world, leading them to confess being strangers and pilgrims on earth. He addresses objections raised against this aspect of Christian life, highlighting the quiet loneliness and separation from worldly interests that believers experience. Martin explains that believers, though strangers on earth, find deep joy and peace in their relationship with God, experiencing His righteousness, love, and salvation. He encourages believers to cultivate Christian friendships, showing that true friendship is found in being a friend of God and being a stranger on earth.
