by Topic432 The Lord's Supper. T. D. Wood. There are two rites or ordinances in Christianity: (1) Baptism, which puts the baptised person on ground of profession; (2) the Lord's Supper on the line of privilege. The truth of the latter was clearly given to Gentile believers through the Apostle Paul, "I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you" (1 Cor. 11: 23), It is primarily a memorial feast, having its.. 2009. 11. 27. The Significance of the Lord's Supper. J. F. English. In Luke 22: 19, 20; 1 Cor. 11: 20-26 there is brought before us the institution of the Lord's Supper. In Luke, we have its record by the Lord, and in 1 Cor. a reference to the ministry of the Supper which the Apostle had previously communicated to the saints at Corinth. It is mainly from the record in 1 Cor. 11. that our thoughts regarding the Supper are formed. That is to be exp.. 2009. 11. 27. The Lord's Supper Its Character and the Worship connected with it. James McBroom. The Lord's Supper and holy worship to the Father and Son by the Holy Ghost. "Had you a happy time in the meeting this morning?" is a question often asked among those who seek to answer to the desire of our Lord in these last days, in the breaking of bread. While the answers are varied, we often hear such as this: — "Yes, very hap.. 2009. 11. 27. Thoughts on the Lord's Supper; Designed for the help of Christians in this day of difficulty. C. H. Mackintosh. Preface. The institution of the Lord's Supper must be regarded, by every spiritual man, as a peculiarly touching proof of the Lord's gracious care and considerate love for His Church. From the time of its appointment until the present hour, it has been a steady, though silent, witness to a truth which the enemy, by .. 2009. 11. 27. Christian Worship Being the substance of three lectures by W Kelly. (Copyright: A Poots, Belfast, 1995.) Lecture 1. "True worshippers." John 4: 20-24. The grace of our Lord is as rich as it is conspicuous in the scene before us. Had it not been so, He would not have unfolded worship to this woman of Samaria. He would have chosen some more worthy person. He might have found readily such an one as Peter or John, or.. 2009. 11. 27. The Lord's Supper 1 Cor. 11. W. Kelly. The Lord's supper differs from the other standing institution of Christianity in this, that while baptism is individual, the breaking of bread is congregational. Personal enjoyment merely is not God's mind in the supper, but rather communion. The gospel gives high value and scope to what is individual; and we need this, for it is the first call from God to man, and should ta.. 2009. 11. 27. The Lord's Supper Leading to Worship.

Christian Worship. W. W. Fereday. (Extracted from Truth for the Last Days, Vol. 1, 1900, page 168.) Worship is the highest possible exercise of the renewed soul, whether here or in glory. Prayer and thanksgiving are both unspeakably blessed in their place, but the one takes cognisance of our wants, and spreads them out before God; and the other has in view the blessings wherewith He has blessed us in His grace; wh.. 2009. 11. 27. On Worship J. N. Darby. <07006G> 87 The habits of a vast number of Christians, and the moral atmosphere in which they are placed, have tended to produce very vague notions as to worship. Having turned away from formalism and superstitious views, which left the care of their religion to others, and feeling the need in which they stood of the truth, they have found in the recognition of the truth — i.. 2009. 11. 27. The Temple of God and Its Worship. J. G. Bellett. BT vol. N7 p. 21 etc. In the two temples, that at Jerusalem in the old dispensation, and that of the Spirit in the new, we see a meaning in everything within them. Heb. 9: 8, 9 gives us notice of this touching the sanctuary, and shows the character of the service there; the veil being constantly down to forbid the access of the worshipper into the presence of God, or holy of holie.. 2009. 11. 27. Thoughts on the Lord's Supper. J. G. Bellett. from Musings on Scripture, Vol. 1. The Lord's Supper is to be eaten as a memorial, or remembrance of Christ. This is His own interpretation of it. The bread sets forth His body; — the Cup His blood, — accomplishing the remission of sins. To eat and drink of this feast is to express our participation in the virtues of His sacrifice (1 Cor. 10: 18). And it is thus eaten in remem.. 2009. 11. 27. The Church F. A. Hughes. MARCH 1963 The Church (1) The words "church" and "churches" are mentioned some 120 times in the New Testament, and the same original word, meaning "a calling out" is used. The only exception is in Acts 19: 37 where the expression "Robbers of churches" is a compound word in the Greek. Quite obviously the subject is one of great interest to the Inditer of the New Testament — the Ho.. 2009. 11. 17. One Loaf: One Body. F. B. Hole. (Extracted from Scripture Truth Vol. 49, 1986-8, pages 33-7.) When saints endeavour to walk according to the truth of the church as set forth in Scripture, and thus come together in practical fellowship according to the apostolic pattern, we must not expect that they will be left in peace. The adversary of God and His people is too watchful and untiring for that. More to be feared th.. 2009. 11. 17. Assembly Principles F. B. Hole. Editor's Introduction Mr. Frank B. Hole's Assembly Principles has been chosen as Volume Four of the Christian Update Series because of its logical, complete and unique approach to the truth of the Assembly — the true Church of God composed of all believers of this dispensation. The truth of the Assembly as presented in Scripture is almost lost today as far as the masses of God's d.. 2009. 11. 17. Is the Church of God an Organization or an Organism? L M Grant. Read Exodus 18. Exodus 18 has sometimes been used as an argument to justify a practice in the Church of appointing people to certain places of responsibility and dignity so that operations might proceed more smoothly. Does the Spirit of God have any such intention in recording the advice of Jethro, and Moses accepting this advice without question? There was a friendly spirit between J.. 2009. 11. 17. "The church which is His body." W. W. Fereday. (Extracted from Truth for the Last Days, Vol. 1, 1900, page 119.) My present purpose is to consider briefly the work of the Holy Spirit in the formation of the Church of God — the body of Christ.

Hindrances to Fellowship Letters to a Friend E. Dennett. The following letters are basic and simply written. Their character, as well as the ground taken in them, was determined by the position of the friend to whom they are addressed.

Davison Our subject is the Assembly as called by these two characteristic titles, "the Bride" and "the Wife". Some time ago a request was made that we look into the matter together to see what the distinction is between these two titles. It may be that in our great appreciation of the love of Christ for His own, and in dwelling so much upon the though.. 2009. 11. 13. The Body Acts 2. Reading with G. Davison Our subject for this series of readings is THE BODY, one of the aspects in which the Assembly is viewed as the result of the work of Christ upon the cross, and His present session at the right hand of God in glory. We know that the Spirit has come down from Christ in glory to form the Body in this world, hence we are beginning our readings in this chapter. In Act.. 2009. 11. 13.

May 1958 We do well, beloved, ever to keep in mind that all the blessing we have been brought into began with the work of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that foundation, as we have read in 1 Peter 1: 19, is based upon the shedding of His precious blood.

Before answering the above question, it is well to recall briefly what the Assembly is according to the Word. The Assembly, or Church, is composed of all the redeemed of the present dispensation — from Pentecost to the Lord's return. In this sense all the saints of this dispensation, whether they are still here be.. 2009. 10. 28. The Church. Ephesians 1: 2. C. H. Mackintosh. We have in these chapters three distinct points, viz., first, the purpose of God; secondly, the development of that purpose; and, thirdly, the result of that purpose. It is a thought full of blessedness and comfort to the heart, that it is with God and His deep purposes of grace we have to do, and not with human circumstances. Faith apprehends this; it looks aw.. 2009. 10. 28. "There is one body" Psalm 93; 1 Corinthians 3: 16; 1 Corinthians 6: 19 C. H. Mackintosh. These scriptures set forth a truth which I believe to be of cardinal importance to every one of us, individually as well as corporately: the Church as a whole is the temple of God; and every believer is made such as really, as literally, as absolutely as the temple of old in which God dwelt, only, of course, in a different way.. 2009. 10. 28. 이전 1 ··· 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ··· 15 다음
