“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing” —1 Corinthians 13:1-3 ESV. _______________________________________ *** Please note: Sermons in Dr. Ryken's regular preaching series are removed after 8 weeks. *** Dr. Ryken is our Senior Minister and teacher of the nationally syndicated 'Every Last Word' radio program (www.everylastword.org) as well author of numerous book on the Christian faith.

During the month of January, in conjunction with Ligonier Ministries we will be producing six radio programs (Tuesdays and Thursdays from Jan. 13th - Jan. 29th) on the subject of John Calvin. 2009 is the 500th Anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. To celebrate this event, we are dedicating six one-hour programs during the month of January to the discussion of John Calvin and his ministry. We are using the book "John Calvin: A Heart for Devotion, Doctrine & Doxology" (Reformation Trust) as an outline for our on-air discussions. Six of the authors who contributed to that book will be interviewed throughout the month. During each program, I will give way copies of the book. On today's program we will start off the series by speaking with Philip Ryken - senior pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church. Dr. Ryken wrote a chapter in the book entitled: "The Believer's Union with Christ".
