Substance of Sermons

Samuel Davies

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house...

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son...

We then are embassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us...

Who were dead in trespasses and sins...

But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us...

To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit...

Follow holiness; without which no man shall see the Lord.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus...

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen...

Unto you, therefore, who believe, He is precious.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot...

The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth...

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent...

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things...

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinners appear?

But this I say, brethren, the time is short...

And hath brought life and immortality to light by the gospel.

This year thou shalt die.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...

He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck...

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth...

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! thou that killes the prophets...

Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again.

It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Then the master of the house being angry...

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world...

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep...

O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth?

O wicked man, thou shalt surely die.

But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness...

By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand...

The foundations of the earth do shake.
