Baptists on SermonAudio

The sermon emphasizes that the King James Bible's exclusive use of the word 'charity' in 1 Corinthians 13 denotes the highest form of self-sacrificial love for fellow believers, distinct from modern philanthropy. It critiques the misinterpretation of spiritual gifts, particularly tongues, by Pentecostal movements and clarifies that the body of Christ refers to the local visible assembly rather than a universal invisible church. The speaker emphasizes that while doctrinal truth is essential, it must always be expressed with charity to avoid becoming empty noise or causing division. True Christian maturity is defined not by miraculous gifts but by the enduring virtue of love, which surpasses faith and hope as the greatest attribute of the believer.

The sermon explores the Book of Deuteronomy as a collection of sermons designed to prepare Israel for entering the Promised Land by renewing their covenant with God. It highlights the unique introduction of the command to love God in Deuteronomy 6, framing the forty years in the wilderness as divine training to cultivate this reciprocal love. The preacher draws parallels between Israel's journey and Jesus' temptation, illustrating how faith, hope, and love serve as essential responses to God's grace. By likening the covenant relationship to a marriage, the message emphasizes that true devotion involves listening to God's word, worshiping Him, and trusting His provision. Ultimately, the transcript urges believers to respond to God's steadfast love with wholehearted commitment and obedient faith.

"There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early." Sermon originally preached by Mr. Popham at the Centenary services at Salem Baptist Chapel on Wednesday afternoon 27th August 1913. There are two main points in this sermon and it seems likely that Mr. Popham continued with a third point in the evening service, but there is no record of that evening service nor of Mr. Popham's preaching on that occasion.
