Preachers' Corner

In this Gospel preaching, you will hear of three people who were called by Jesus. Each came to know Jesus personally as a result of the Lord drawing near and presenting the Gospel message.

 

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 5:27-32 “27 And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.28 And having left all, rising up, he followed him.29 And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.30 And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?31 And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

32 I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.”

John 4:4-15 “4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.6 Now a fountain of Jacob’s was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.7 A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink

8 (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;14 but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.15 The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.”

John 4:28-30 “28 The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men,29 Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?30 They went out of the city and came to him.”

John 4:38-42 “39 But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days.41 And more a great deal believed on account of his word;42 and they said to the woman, [It is] no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.”

Acts 9:1-20 “But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest2 and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.3 But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,4 and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], *I* am Jesus, whom *thou* persecutest.6 But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.7 But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.8 And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one.

There is hope in Jesus in the Gospel. Jesus paid the penalty for your sins that you may be saved from the coming judgment. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus came into the world to bring mankind hope by laying down his lie at Calvery’s cross. Listen to this preaching to discover how you can obtain this hope in Jesus by putting your faith and trust in Him.

Psalms 103:8-12 “8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”

We all like to receive an invitation. In the Gospel, God is sending you an invitation and He is asking you to come to Him. The Bible tells us that our sins have separated us from the presence of God but there is hope available in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Over 2000 years ago, the scriptures tell us that Jesus came into the world to save sinners.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Isaiah 1:18-20 “18 Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.19 If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.”

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and *I* will give you rest.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Romans 3:22-25 “for there is no difference;23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood”

Romans 4:25 “25 who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.”

13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.“

The Apostle Peter discribes the Lord Jesus as a living hope in his first letter. Many people today are searching for hope in all the wrong places. The Bible tells us there is a certain hope found in Jesus and the work he completed at Calvery’s cross.

 

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

1 Peter 1:3-9 “3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead,4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you,

5 who are kept guarded by [the] power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in [the] last time.6 Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,7 that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ:8 whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] glory,9 receiving the end of your faith, [the] salvation of [your] souls.”

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.”

Nehemiah 13:1-11 “On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and there was found written in it that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;2 because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and with water, and had hired Balaam against them, to curse them; but our God turned the curse into blessing.3 And it came to pass, when they heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.4 And before this, Eliashib the priest, who had the oversight of the chambers of the house of our God, a kinsman of Tobijah,

5 had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the oblations, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine and the oil, which was commanded for the Levites and the singers and the doorkeepers, and the heave-offerings of the priests.6 And during all that [time] I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two-and-thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king; and after some time I obtained leave of the king.7 And I came to Jerusalem, and observed the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobijah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.8 And it grieved me much, and I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobijah out of the chamber.

9 And I commanded, and they purified the chambers; and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, the oblation and the frankincense.10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given, and that the Levites and the singers that did the work had fled every one to his field.11 Then I contended with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken?”

Ezekiel 33:30-32 “30 And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people keep talking of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah.31 And they come unto thee as a people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they do them not; for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their dishonest gain.32 And behold, thou art unto them as a lovely song, a pleasant voice, and one that playeth well on an instrument; and they hear thy words, but they do them not.”

Haggai 1:2-11 “2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah’s house should be built.3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.

6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes.7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah.

9 Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to his own house.10 Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.”

19 which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,20 where Jesus is entered as forerunner for us, become for ever a high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.”

Matthew 8:23-27 “23 And he went on board ship and his disciples followed him;24 and behold, [the water] became very agitated on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but *he* slept.25 And the disciples came and awoke him, saying, Lord save: we perish.26 And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.27 But the men were astonished, saying, What sort [of man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”
