Comfort Ye My People
It is the preachers’ calling and purpose to comfort and encourage the Lord’s people.

I want to speak to you tonight of those who died right. It is not every professor who dies right, and I am afraid it is not every professor in this place who will die right. Hearing a good minister a great many years is not enough to prepare you to die right, nor hearing a quantity of…

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…
