Posted on August 15, 2016 by Rich Moore

Miracles; and their purpose in the early Church; miracles and belief; Ananias and Sapphira : a warning; Christianity and the element of fear.

Signs and Wonders – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon

Acts 5:11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events. 12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (20 December 1899 — 1 March 1981) was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London.

Chosen in Him – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon

Posted on August 14, 2016 by Rich Moore

Chosen by God out of the good pleasure of His will; two possible interpretations of this verse; the need to face Scripture; a method of approach; this doctrine in Scripture; the doctrine in the history and experience of the Church; a doctrine of security.

Chosen in Him – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon

Ephesians 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (20 December 1899 — 1 March 1981) was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London.

Charles Spurgeon Sermon – The Father’s Will

Posted on August 13, 2016 by Rich Moore

Charles Spurgeon Sermon – The Father’s Will

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

Charles Spurgeon Sermon playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CDB844A9113F938C

Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 January 31, 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the “Prince of Preachers.” In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people, often up to 10 times a week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London for 38 years. In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon’s which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon’s College, which was named after him after his death.

Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.

Posted on August 7, 2016 by Rich Moore

Dealing with the fear of death; the danger of being governed and controlled by facts and events; man concerned with his body and not his soul; the real world is spiritual; death has been conquered.

The Fear of Death – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon

Luke 12:4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.”

Leaven of the Pharisees – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon

Posted on August 7, 2016 by Rich Moore

Enemies of Christian happiness and success; hypocrisy in the Christian life; intellectual; emotional and practical hypocrites; the fear of God and the fear of man.

Leaven of the Pharisees – Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon

Luke 12:1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. 4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”

A Treasury of Ageless,
Sovereign Grace,
Devotional Writings http://www.gracegems.org/

James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841 until 1850. Early on, Smith’s readings were even more popular than Spurgeon’s!

The habit of laying up a text of Scripture in the morning, to be meditated upon while engaged in the business of this world through the day—is both profitable and delightful. It is as a refreshing draught to a weary traveler!

Love Photographs them in the Heart! – William Thoseby (Christian devotional)

Posted on August 2, 2016 by Rich Moore

Love Photographs them in the Heart! – William Thoseby (Christian devotional)

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
2 Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.

William Thoseby (1835-1905)

Early years

William was born on 20 July 1835 at Grassington, Yorkshire to parents James and Mary. William was baptised on 2 August 1835 at Linton in Craven, Yorkshire. When William was very young the family moved to Mount Tabor, nr Halifax and when he was 8, the family moved to Keighley.

William was converted in June 1856 after attending a Sunday School Anniversary service at Morton Banks, nr Keighley. William immediately set himself to spiritual growth and mental improvement. Two years later he became a local preacher.

William supplied for Rev John Nassau at Keighley in 1859 from July to September. He then moved to Kings Lynn, Norfolk; the circuit from which he was pledged the following year.

Ministry

William was involved in building a chapel, schoolroom and minister’s house at Colne, Lancashire. It was there he met W. P. Hartley who laid a memorial stone and assisted with the fundraising. It was the day of the opening of that chapel that William lost his wife, Hannah, following the birth of a daughter.

In his last appointment, William was responsible for building the church and school at Knaresborough.

William attended conference twice and was a General Committee delegate in 1895.

He was thoroughly evangelical in his preaching; his sermons and speeches were full of pathos, interest and point, and were well thought out from a mind richly stored with biblical history and general knowledge. He sent the truth home to the hearts of the people with power and conviction.

As a public speaker he was frank, fearless and oftentimes eloquent.

Family

William married Hannah Holmes (1837-1881) on 6 July 1864 at Queen St Chapel, Keighley, Yorkshire. Rev John Harvey officiated. Census returns identify seven children.

Paulina Mary (1865-1942) – married William Boothman, a council school caretaker (1911)

Albert Edward Victor (1872-1947) – a secondary school teacher
Helena Gertrude (1874-1922) – married Richard Henry Horsfield, a stone quarry manager (1901)
Lily Rose (1875-1963) – married Hartley Wood, a draper
Hannah Louisa (1881-1968) – married Edwin Kitching, a joiner
William married Isabella Lonsdale (1854-1930) in the spring of 1882 at Colne, Lancashire. Census returns identify five children.

Ethel Isabella (1883-1911) – an assistant school teacher (1911)

John Norman Lonsdale (1887-1956) – doctor

William Arthur (1890-1892)

William died on 15 January 1905 at Knaresborough, Yorkshire.
