    The drought of summer

    When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Psalms 32:3-5) ~~~~ This sermon was preached at Priory Road Strict Baptist Chapel, Maidstone. ~~~~ *1/ The hand of the Lord turning our life into the drought of summer. 2/ The hand of the Lord bringing us to acknowledge and confession our sin. 3/ The hand of the Lord in blessing.* **Sermon summary:** This sermon explores the spiritual process by which God brings sinners to forgiveness through His chastening hand. Using Psalm 32, the text illustrates how divine affliction acts as a drought that strips away self-reliance and exposes the soul's need for a Saviour. The preacher emphasizes that this hardship is not punitive but pastoral, intended to break hardness of heart and lead individuals to honest confession. By acknowledging sin without hiding it, believers receive the assurance of complete pardon through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the message offers hope that God's discipline always leads to restoration and the blessing of renewed fellowship with Him.

    Comfort in an unchanging God

    For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6) *1/ Who the LORD is - "I am the LORD" 2/ The attribute of the LORD that our attention is drawn to - "I change not" 3/ The mercy joined to this attribute - "Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the theological significance of God's immutability as revealed in Malachi 3:6, emphasizing that His unchanging nature provides stability and assurance to believers. It contrasts the fickleness of human behaviour with the consistent character of Jehovah, who remains faithful despite human sinfulness. The preacher explains that this attribute is not merely abstract but serves as the foundation for the certainty of salvation and the reliability of God's promises. By examining the person and work of Jesus Christ, the text highlights how divine constancy ensures that the elect are preserved from destruction through Christ's atoning sacrifice. Ultimately, the message offers pastoral comfort, urging listeners to rest their hope on a God whose word and love never fail.

    Handling matters wisely

    He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. (Proverbs 16:20) *1/ Handling the matter of our own souls salvation wisely. 2/ Handling the matter of a sinful heart wisely. 3/ Scriptural principles for handling matters wisely. 4/ Some further examples from scripture of handling matters wisely.* There was not time to look at the further examples. They are: *- Abraham maintaining peace with Lot - Genesis 13:8-9* *- Abigail pacifying David's anger - 1 Samuel 25:18-35* *- David encouraging himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6* *- Mordecai advising Queen Esther - Esther 4:13-14* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the biblical imperative to handle life's critical matters with divine wisdom, drawing primarily from Proverbs 16:20. It contrasts King Rehoboam's foolish rejection of wise counsel with Daniel's prudent reliance on God in the face of death. *(1 Kings 12:1-16 and Daniel 2:1-30)* The preacher emphasizes that believers must prioritize their own soul's salvation and the ongoing battle against a sinful heart by seeking God's guidance through prayer and Scripture. By examining these scriptural examples, the message urges listeners to trust in God's sovereignty and seek heavenly wisdom rather than relying on human understanding or hasty decisions. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a faithful, prayerful approach to daily challenges, promising blessing to those who align their actions with God's word.

    The entrance of thy words

    The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. (Psalms 119:130) *1/ God's word. 2/ The entrance of God's word. 3/ The entrance known by what it gives - Light and understanding.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon emphasizes the necessity of deeply internalizing Scripture rather than merely reading it as a duty. It establishes the divine origin and authority of the Bible, arguing that its truth is confirmed by historical accuracy and fulfilled prophecy. The preacher illustrates how the Word enters into the world through missionary work. It then enters the heart by the Holy Spirit applying the word preached or read. This spiritual entrance results in two primary blessings: illumination of sin and Christ, and the granting of spiritual understanding to the simple. Ultimately, the text calls believers to actively seek this transformative encounter with God's Word for their eternal benefit.

    A more sure word of Prophecy

    ~~~~~~~ No 27 in the series - The Epistles of Peter. ~~~~~~~ **Considering 2 Peter 1:16-21** For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, .....We have also a more sure word of prophecy; .....holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. *1/ Peter and the Apostles made known the power the coming of our Lord. 2/ They were NOT following cunningly devised fables. 3/ They WERE eye witnesses. 4/ They point to a word more sure than visions.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon establishes the absolute authority and reliability of Scripture by contrasting it with human fables and subjective visions. Drawing on 2 Peter 1, the message emphasizes that the apostles were eyewitnesses to Christ's majesty, particularly at the Transfiguration, rather than promoters of invented stories. It argues that while spiritual experiences like Paul's visions are significant, the written Word remains a more sure foundation for faith and doctrine. The preacher urges believers to treat the Bible as a divine light that exposes the darkness of the human heart and reveals Christ clearly. Ultimately, the text affirms that Scripture is God-breathed, historically verified, and sufficient for guiding the church without reliance on private interpretation or extra-biblical revelations.

It contrasts the temporary prosperity of the wicked with the secure, guided path of those who trust in the Lord.

    Drawn to Christ

    No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:44) *1/ The way of salvation - coming unto Jesus - "Come to me" 2/ The way all come that do come - Drawn by the Father through the Holy Spirit. 3/ The means used to draw sinners to Christ.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon expounds on John 6:44, emphasizing that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them. It outlines three key aspects of salvation: the exclusive way through Christ, the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit in drawing believers, and the various means God uses, such as preaching and trials, to attract sinners. The preacher highlights that this divine drawing is an act of irresistible grace, distinct from human effort or natural attraction. Believers are encouraged to recognize their dependence on God's power for salvation and to trust in His promise to raise them up at the last day. The message concludes with a call to rest solely in Christ as the only path to eternal life.
