“ Discerning teachings. ” The Lord taught us not a doctrinal tolerance, in which to accept all kind of teachings. There are many teachings from the devil and we must discern them and fight against them. Every religious pretense must be judged by its theology and by the lives of the adepts. If they live as the world, they are from the world and from the Spirit of God.
“ Great warning. ” Great warning. God removed the candle from region where His Word was preached once, from the region where Augustine, where the apostles preached once. God can do this in West, where were great revivals once, because the people reject so great a light. We must pray that God should revive HIS WORK. Not to pray with a patriotic or denominational spirit, seeking God to bless our plans and wishes, but to ask God to revive His work, even if He will do it in other way than we thought.
“ God is near. ” God's control over man as individual and over nations. He controls our circumstances, where we are born and when, over our opportunities, over every aspect of our lives. God controls our future, so we can seek guidance from Him. God is near to us. We must seek to see the Lord in what happens with us.
“ Great warning. ” Anatomy of bitterness. The resentment and anger that eats away your spiritual life and your peace. Its effects upon others. The bitter person is angry on God because of His providence. A sin that comes from being centered upon yourself. Unforgiving person. Darkness of this sin exposed.
“ 7 implications. ” Assurance of salvation - you can know that you are elect and that others are elect; humility; holiness; praise; love for God; love for the doctrine of election; those unconverted are driven to search the Scriptures. Strong biblical argumentation.
“ Great Teaching! ” Dr. Ferguson does an excellent job on John Owen and his teaching on the Holy Spirit. I am reading Owen's book on the Holy Spirit from his Works at the moment and this is a great supplement to that work. Owen said, "There is all the difference in the world to knowing the truth and knowing the power of the truth." His work on the Holy Spirit reveals this great truth surely by the Spirit Himself. Thankyou Dr. Ferguson.
“ Great Sermon! ” What brilliant and intelligent expositions on the prophet Zechariah, Dr. Griswold is truly a GOD gifted preacher and excellent teacher. GOD has blessed him tremendously and also for passing on his biblical knowledge to many christians. He's now one of GOD'S heavenly stars. Thank GOD for His mighty preacher. Bless you DR.Griswold whereever you are.
“ Great salvation awaiting us. ” What a glorious message: the state of the saints in heaven. Heaven will be a place of love. Perfect holiness and love will be realized in the saints by God. Many other aspects of the glorified state, with Biblical argumentation. Precious truths!
“ How to recognize them. ” Very important message. Differences between true and spurious believers. Spurious believers want Christ, but not without exception. Spurious believers do not want close with Christ as is offered in the Gospel.
“ The biblical view. ” Establishing the biblical doctrine of common grace. A critique of the Hyper-Calvinist, Arminian and Barthian views. Refutation of the Catholic natural theology.
“ Great Teaching! ” Another great teaching by the Professor. The Eternal Sonship of Jesus coupled and proven with the Eternal Fatherhood of God. Prof. Murray approaches this with good Biblical support and clarity. A must hear, if you have ever found the Sonship to be complicated.
“ Fighting Satan in schools. ” As Christians we must fight Satan not only in our churches in our families, but in schools also. To fight against the secular humanistic views. To teach the Christian worldview.

“ Great salvation. ” Narrative sermon, presenting the sufferings, the death and resurrection of Christ - how He established the new covenant in His blood for our salvation.
“ Christus Victor. ” Celebrating Christ's victory over Satan, sin and death. The same message as that under the title "Celebrating Christ’s victory".
“ Victorious by Christ. ” A message on Revelation 4. Satan defeated by Christ on the cross. The saints defeated Satan in Christ. In heaven, now, the saints are celebrating the victory of Christ over Satan and death.
“ Christ precious. ” Valuing Christ more than the things of this world and valuing the life in heaven (when we will see Him face to face) more than this life. The preciousness of our union with Christ. Profound message.
“ Doctrine and morality. ” Relationship between doctrine and morality, character. Departure from orthodoxy have consequences for the morality of that people. Illustrated from church history. Excellent and needed lesson for understanding the present situation in Protestantism.
