The Privilege And Power Of Prayer
“Incline, thine ear, O Lord, and hear: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.”—Isaiah 37:17 Satan goeth about as a roaring lion, “seeking whom he may devour; and the Holy Ghost has said, “resist him, stedfast in the faith.” Though Satan devours thousands or millions of our fellow men, he has never yet been permitted to devour the saints of the everlasting God. But he has in all ages of the world tempted and tormented them. Sometimes the temptations of the devil relate to the genuineness of one’s religion and profession, and to the filial character of one's connection with the great God of heaven and earth. At other times…

Job’s Faith In The Resurrection
A Sermon Preached By John Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 14th February, 1875 “Yet in my flesh shall I see God.”—Job 19:26 Job had spiritual breathing times before the throne of God. There were moments in his sufferings, when his spirit was buoyant, and his feelings lively; when his thoughts were carried on high, and he was more than a match for Satan, and equal to all his pains and afflictions. Sometimes we see him plunged as it were, into the greatest depths, and then we hear the language of deep and bitter complaint. Again, we see him rise to the surface, and breathing sentiments of joy. The hand of his covenant God was underneath him, and the Spirit…

The Glory Of God Received And Reflected
A Sermon Preached By Mr. Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 31st January, 1875. “And his glory shall be seen upon thee.”—Isaiah 60:2 The manifestations of the Lord Jesus Christ to his church have been various, progressive in clearness, and continual. In the first place, he manifested himself for the most part in connection with types and shadows: the sacrifices which Abel offered, the ark which Noah built, and the sacrifices which Abraham offered, were typical of the Lord Jesus; and in some respects also Isaac was a type of his father’s seed, Saviour, and Lord. David also was a type of the Lord Jesus Christ, as were also Aaron and the Jewish high priests; and thus under the Old…

Christ, The Propitiation For Our Sins
A Sermon Preached By Mr. Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 13th December, 1874. The Twenty-First Anniversary Of The Opening Of The Chapel. “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”—1 John 4:10 The Apostle Paul in his Epistle to Timothy, says, “Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness and then he enumerates some of its many branches. The first branch which he sets forth is the manifestation of God in our nature: “God was manifest in the flesh and hence when the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in our world, it is said that his name shall be called Emanuel—God with us; and…

Repentance And Faith
A Sermon Preached by Mr. Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 29th November, 1874. “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”—Acts 20:21 The Apostle Paul as the great Apostle of the Gentiles was greatly honoured of God. In Thessalonica he preached the gospel of God’s grace, and became the spiritual father of the church in that city. He preached and became the founder of the church of Christ at Philippi. He went to the city of Ephesus and preached the gospel of our God, and became the spiritual father of that large and important church. The circumstances connected with the introduction of the gospel into the city…

The Objects Of Christ’s Delight
A Sermon Preached by Mr. Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 1st November, 1874. “And my delights were with the sons of men.”—Proverbs 8:31Our beloved Lord, in the days of his flesh, said to his disciples and others, “Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.” Now, it should be always borne in mind, that all the Scriptures which then existed, were the Old Testament writings. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, had not been given to the world, nor had the Epistles of Paul or of Peter, of Jude or of James; and therefore, by “the Scriptures” there, we must understand the Old Testament—the writings…
