Behold, your King comes to you

Erlo StegenMatt 21:1 – 9 This text is so rich in content that one can never expound it in only an hour. It is a pity when people are blunt towards the things of heaven.

The coming together of young people through prayer

Erlo StegenGen 24:1-16 There is so much we can learn through Abraham who is the father of the believers.

Of the Creation of Angels.

John GillA Body of Doctrinal Divinity Book 3—Chapter 2 OF THE CREATION OF ANGELS. From considering the creation in general, I descend to particulars; not to all the creatures that are made; to treat of the nature, form, figure, and qualities of every creature in heaven, earth, and sea, would be a work too la...

Adam and the Law of Life

T. Austin-SparksReading: Gen. 3:1-7; 22-24; Romans 8:1-2.
