In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of being able to order and structure one's preaching or teaching. He uses 1 Peter 1:22 as a perfect verse for a sermon outline, which consists of seven points. The speaker highlights that the New Testament always provides biblical reasons for its commands, and in this case, the command to love one another is preceded by the reason that believers have purified their souls. The sermon encourages listeners to study and mark their Bibles, and to understand the logical flow of apostolic teaching.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the dual promise of purification and glorification in preparation for the Lord's coming. He explains that purification involves the removal of sin, while being made white signifies the illumination of God's glory within us. To receive both, believers must endure trials and challenges that deepen their reliance on Christ. Simpson warns that we are in the days leading up to the Lord's return, urging the faithful to remain vigilant and prepared. He concludes with a call to recognize the signs of the times and the urgency of spiritual readiness.

In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the book of Hebrews and highlights the greatness and superiority of the Son of God. The Son is described as the heir of all things, the agent through whom God made the universe, and the one who obtained eternal redemption through his death. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus' death cleanses our consciences and leads to faithful service to God. Additionally, the Son is shown to be superior to angels and is seated at the right hand of God in heaven.

Art Katz emphasizes the significance of being cleansed by the 'washing of the Word' through the biblical account of Moses striking the rock. He draws parallels between the Old Testament laws of purification and the necessity for believers to be continually washed by the living water of God's Word to avoid bringing corruption into the sanctuary. Katz warns against the dangers of spiritual death manifested in strife, contention, and a lack of reverence for God's sovereignty in our circumstances. He urges preachers and believers alike to seek God's presence earnestly, recognizing that every word spoken should convey the life of God, lest they inadvertently communicate death. Ultimately, Katz calls for a deeper commitment to purity and obedience in our relationship with God, as exemplified by Moses and Aaron's experience.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of confessing our sins to Jesus and removing the obstacles that hinder our relationship with Him.

The speaker encourages the audience to have a personal relationship with Jesus and trust in Him for eternal life. The message of the gospel is highlighted as the central theme, emphasizing the hope and assurance of being together with Christ in eternity.
