Dear Children, I should like you all to be very wise. Wisdom is far better than money, or fine clothes, or grand houses, or horses and carriages. People who are not wise seldom get on well; they are seldom happy. My best wish for any dear boys and girls that I love is, that they may grow up very wise. But how are we to be wise? Some of you will ask. What are we to do in order to get this wisdom, which you tell us is such a good thing? Dear children, if you would be wise, you must pray to God to put his Holy Spirit in your hearts, and give yon wisdom. This is one thing. Besides this, you ...

In these days of perilous, precarious hope, the churches and other faith communities must somehow continue to speak and live hope, speak truth to power, seek peace with justice, and sing hope. Somehow, we must conjure the audacity, as the ancient prophet Joel intimated, “to see visions and dream dreams”, and have the temerity to hope against all that seems to persistently rise against hope. This book is the third volume of sermons on the Psalms written and published since 2016, with the first two volumes being: Keep Looking Up (2016) and Songs for the Seasons (2020). It is hoped that ...

The Gospel According to Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and some believe it may have been written as a sort of “tract” meant to be read by a fast moving and “on the go” type of people.[1] It was, of course, written by Mark, or sometimes called John Mark in the Bible. Mark’s readership is a Roman person. His life is busy and fast paced He is always on the move and traveling He doesn’t have a lot of time for incidentals So Mark cuts right to the chase. Again a quote, “The abruptness with which he announces his subject, and the energetic brevity with which, passing by ...

John Montgomery gives an expository sermon on Paul's defense before King Agrippa in Acts 26, and its application today. Sets forth principles by which Christians can effectively witness to Christ in a secular world.

There is an ancient book called Job which takes its name from the man whose story it tells. He lived in the land of Uz. He was a man of up-right life and godly character. He had a large family and was very prosperous. The home life of his family was particularly happy. His children feasted together daily and their father took pains with their religious life. The disinterestedness of Job's piety was questioned in the heavenly councils by Satan. God asked him, "Hast thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and...

JOY is the highest attainment of life. It comes of perfect living and is marred by imperfection. It is music without a note of discord. It is motion without a trace of friction. It is health without the slightest sickness. It is pleasure unalloyed. Says William George Jordan, “Happiness is the greatest paradox of Nature. It can grow in any soil, live under any conditions. It defies environment. It comes from within; it is the revelation of the depths of the inner life as light and heat proclaim the sun from which they radiate. Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of ...

I have had the great privilege of sitting under the expository preaching of Steve Cole over the last 27 years. I have benefited greatly from his excellent teaching, as has my church and many around the world who get his sermons regularly over e-mail. Many others listen online or find sermons through the church website, fcfonline.org or bible.org. This compilation of 5 of my personal favorite sermons is designed to direct people interested in good biblical preaching to Steve's sermons, who may not otherwise find them.

We Make the Road by Walking is a year's worth of reflections on the Bible, each one lasting around 10 to 12 minutes.
