A CONTINUATION OF THE THRUST AND BASE OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
OF AUSTRALIA ON BIBLICAL LINES …

What Moses lost when he lost his temper,
and what Christ gained as He kept His!
Matthew 27:41-44, Numbers 20:1-12

Deuteronomy 32 Moves Towards Completing the Vision,
while Man Completes His Plunge and God Multiply Delivers His Saints!

This is now a group of sermons, on a series of related texts, The ENTRY into the Kingdom of Heaven, the GROWTH in it, and the CULMINATION of EXPECTATION in the CONSUMMATION of it, in Christ. It is presented here in one body; but has three natural divisions and may be used in more, having taken our Church quite a number of weeks to cover the scriptural theme.

This sermon has now become three sermons,
as here the first, and in 202, in one text, the second and the third.
The last section on being kept by the power of God has been expanded
into two more sermons! It is very strong, and needs much attention,
this wonderful power of God.

For sermons 201, 202, a fuller presentation is given in Deity and Design, Designation and Destiny Ch. 7.

WHO INCREASES JOY IN THE LORD ? THE MEEK! Part I
Mark and Isaiah. Part I relates to Isaiah. (See 209 for Part II.)

WHO INCREASES JOY IN THE LORD ? THE MEEK! Part II
Mark and Isaiah. Part II relates to Mark.

From Scottish ocean acreage to the secret place of the most High, seek and find
what this world most lacks, needs, what is the gift of God to the soul.

CONTEST FOR CHRIST JESUS, THE LORD, IN HIS DAY AND IN OURS - John 18 Part II

Easter through the Field-Glasses
of Christ's Feeding of the Five Thousand,
in the Realities of Calvary
and its Victory Wrought in the Resurrection

THE PARALLEL SITUATION: THEN AND NOW -
8th century B.C. and 21st century A.D.

In expanding the earlier notes, we mirror more of the second sermon on this
topic and extend to the third.

The Fateful City, The Witnesses,
The Rapture and the Resurrection
Kingdom Transformation and the Rewards of Faith

Having not finished this presentation on May 4,
we complete the depiction now, while moving on to John 17 where the ENDURING PRINCIPLES OF THE LORD are seen,
before, during and after these things.

Sinners Only - the privilege is not hard to earn! in fact,
acceptability comes not from attainment, but atonement.

The COUNSEL THROUGH HISTORY
CONQUEST THROUGH FAITH : FAITH IN HIM WHO IS FAITHFUL (cont.)

THE BEGINNING, THE END AND THE WALK IN THE MIDDLE

Psalm 111:10, I Timothy 1:5, Galatians 5:6, 22-24, Philippians 1:20,28, 2:3

In this case, the written notes are relatively brief, but the entire sermon is available orally at the link below.

We had been considering the magnificent situation – like a seaside villa placed in a high cliff – of those who are the having been saved by grace through faith people, in terms of Christ’s commission of Isaiah 61:1-3. Now we turn to Isaiah 61:4 in context, and Acts 15, Amos 9 with it.

This was to begin last Sunday, but it was left for a fuller treatment in this, the succeeding one.

THE FILLING OF THE WILLING, THE FIT OF THE PIT :
THE DELIGHTFUL NEED FOR ELEVATION

TO THIS WORLD IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
QUITE SIMPLY – IT HAS ANOTHER GOD WHO IS NO GOD:

The Magnificence, the Certainty and the Crushing Consequence,
Open for Faith, but Disaster for Dabbling

PART I – The Negative Side To Open

Jeremiah 37:17 with Jeremiah 23:33ff., 34:8ff.
Isaiah 37:1ff., 38:14ff., II Kings 22:12ff., James 2

PART II – The Positive Side To Close

THE FAITH THAT ACTS AND PREVAILS
ON THE PROMISES OF GOD …

We have seen something of Josiah and Hezekiah in our review of the positive powers available as one abides in the word of God.

Stephen's speech is a classic of confrontation, information and disputation,
and repays pondering its point, and meeting its challenge NOW.

THE END, THE CALL, THE COMING, THE RESPONSE
IN THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST (Philippians 1:6)

"COME AND HEAR, ALL YOU WHO FEAR GOD,
AND I WILL DECLARE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR MY SOUL."

For an extended and slightly different version of this sermon, and that which follows, see Ch. 7 of Sums, Summits and In Sum ...

and the way it glorifies God, it is recommended that the reader turn to this more extensive treatment.

I Peter 1:2, II Corinthians 2:14, with reference to Isaiah 59:19, Philippians 1:21

SHORT DIVISION NOW CAN SAVE LONG DIVISION LATER -

Part II: Luke 11:5-28, 12:35-48

THE GENESIS OF THE INCARNATION,
THE GENERATION FROM IT AND
THE EXODUS OF THAT GENERATION:

This version now has the full notes plus oral presentations
as they become available, marked at the relevant points, for access.

We have seen last time, that I Timothy 1:5 tells us precisely where we should be, could be going, and the purpose of it all, just as II Timothy 1:8-12 tells us WHY this is so, and where man should be, go and end, giving an orienteering focus. At both of these we have recently looked in preaching. Now we follow it up. In this address, we will consider more of the entire flight, sitting in heavenly places as to status and operational style, yet purged for the performance, through pre-flight and at times in-flight servicing. It is a matter of travelling time and spiritual perspective.

Today, we consider subverted pseudo-Christian oddities and anomalies, in order to stress by contrast the nature of the narrow way, so simple in Christ Jesus, so profound in His biblical defining power, so complete in its beauty of godliness and its tidings of happiness and holiness in a wedlock both natural and of the very essence of truth.

In Chapter 4 above we considered the background in Isaiah 31 and the message in Isaiah 32. Now we move to the second part of the survey of Isaiah 32-34.

There is no change with God, but change with man, in Christ,
has two major categories for his new creations (II Cor. 5:17ff.):

REDUCTION OF UNLIKENESS TO HIM

and has a profound course to travel in history
as recorded from God in the Bible

It is the time version of a telescope, presenting from the eye of God, the things that have been, will be and will endure

starting with Hosea 14, already considered, moving today back to Hosea 1-3,
then continuing into Jeremiah 30-31,
giving glory to God and information to man
to make life meaningful, masterful, merciful in Jesus Christ
as it ought to be.

While wandering is woe, the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever, His statutes right, rejoicing the heart.

THE ALL-SUFFICIENT SAVIOUR
Christmas is a season, repeatable; Christ is the Saviour, once for all.

The Original and Eventual Magnificence Ch. 8.

It is hoped that the ORAL version will be available on the Home Page
later in the week, and if so, oral version

There an outline replete with texts is given, in this case, for the six.
There is additional coverage for the last unit of the six, here.
The first 5 sermons are currently available here,
orally as preached.

Fashioning folly from context contradiction
and Imbibing Truth from the Word of God

Man's vast beginnings, movements into arrears, pollutions of heart,
illuminated and met in the massive cardiac injection,
preparations for which, with many of their predicted results, are manifest in
the revelation in Micah 5-7 in particular.
