Does Scripture suffice or do we need to see a miracle? Consider Jesus' astonishing words in Luke 16:31 - He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.' 0:00 – A testimony of a remarkable conversion. 1:44 – The "Hell Fire Club" opposed the "Holy Club". 3:35 – Thorpe mocked George Whitefield as he shared… 4:46 – The Word of God pierced Thorpe's heart and led to his conversion. 6:33 – Luke 16, The Rich Man and Lazarus. 9:09 – Opening prayer. 10:19 – A summary of the three headings of the sermon. 12:53 – 1 – What men want. 17:20 – People often are wanting more than just the plain proclamation of Scripture. 21:27 – 2 – What men need. 26:16 – 3 – The sufficiency of Scripture 30:18 – Scripture is like a pillow for the believer's weary head. 36:48 – Believer, are you confident in your Bible? 38:17 – Closing prayer.

As God seems to have succeeded your labors amongst us, and prayers for us, I desire your fervent prayers for us may yet be continued, that God would not be to us as a wayfaring man, that turns aside to tarry but for a night, but that he would more and more pour out his Spirit upon us, and no more depart from us; and for me in particular, that I may be filled with his Spirit, and may become fervent, as a flame of fire in my work, and may be abundantly succeeded, and that it would please God, however unworthy I am, to improve me as an instrument of his glory, and advancing the kingdom of Christ.

Charity, in Respect of Other Men's Sins John Howe (1630–1705) John Howe was a Presbyterian Puritan pastor who briefly (and reluctantly) served as chaplain to Oliver Cromwell. The following sermon, though 'tough sledding' at the outset because of its lofty, Edwardsesque prose, will reward its careful reader. It is best read slowly and with contemplation. In it the author shows that giving others the benefit of the doubt, and not rejoicing over their failings, are often-lacking (but much needed) virtues among God's people. It is taken from volume 2 of his Works. "Rejoiceth not in iniquity." 1 Corinthians 13:6 Ambrose, Isaac; Whitefield, George; Charnock, Stephen; Howe, John; Bridge, William; Baxter, Richard.

God's passion for his own glory is evident in all areas of the created order—and sometimes it is most obvious in places where it seems least likely to glorify God. For example, as this essay illustrates, the darkness of sin provides a sharp contrast for the brilliant splendour of his grace in rescuing helpless sinners. How would his glorious attributes of patience, forgiveness, mercy, justice, and wisdom be shown, were it not for the problem of sin (cf. Romans 5:20–21)? "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." 1 Timothy 1:15 Ambrose, Isaac; Whitefield, George; Charnock, Stephen; Howe, John; Bridge, William; Baxter, Richard.

Beg of God! - A Sermon preached by Rev George Whitfield.

I stated in the sermon that Whitefield drew from this sermon 150 years after Mead. It was actually closer to 80 years. I apologize for the error. Here is the original series of sermons that George Whitfield drew from on the subject of the "almost Christian"; that is, the person who shows every outward display of being a Christian but is not. This is the Dedication, Preface to the Reader, and Part 1. This preface to the Reader was written and delivered Oct 22, 1661 in London There is another version of this work on Sermon Audio but it is narrated by a woman, which is in direct violation of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. This work is in the public domain. Narrated by Duane Linn
