Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (03-05DEC21)
Heads-Up — Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace –God’s unmerited favor– from our sins and from Hell:
“For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul’s determination when at Corinth is and ever shall be the resolve of every God-called preacher. It is only when the gospel is clearly and simply proclaimed that God is magnified, the church is spiritually fed and sinners will be converted.
The person of Christ and His substitutionary, sacrificial, successful, saving work that satisfied God and redeemed His people was the message Paul had a determination to always proclaim. Keep in mind that this man was a highly intelligent, educated man; he had been taught by the most famous bible teacher of his day, Gamaliel.
When Paul preached, however, his purpose was not to set before his hearers wisdom or his vast knowledge of a variety of subjects. He did not seek to set forth or magnify himself. The Corinthians knew firsthand that Paul’s preaching was not to attract personal followers or draw attention to himself. The subject of his messages was the gospel of the grace of God; he set forth the person, cross-death, resurrection and exaltation of Christ.
-preacher Jim Byrd of 13th Street Baptist church in Ashland, Kentucky USA

It was under the tutelage of Rabbi Gamaliel that Paul developed an expert knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures. Paul’s educational and professional credentials allowed him to preach in the synagogues wherever he traveled (see Acts 17:2), and his grasp of Old Testament history and law aided his presentation of Jesus Christ as the One who had fulfilled the Law (Matthew 5:17).
It is clear that Gamaliel and his family were revered as men of wisdom and prudential judgment. In God’s sovereign plan, this Jewish rabbi preserved the lives of the apostles in the early church and helped equip the greatest Christian missionary.
And now we know the rest of the story. Paul Harvey…good day!
My favorite cousin was poisoned by 12 years of study at OSU . They taught him that there was no historical evidence of Paul being a Pharisee. We prayed much for him over the years . He spent his last winter in my woods up in a tree stand while Kate and I prayed for the unveiling to come upon him . Just 20 hours before his death from various cancers he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his saviour . Take that devil ! I left his stand chained up in the old 125 foot Black Walnut tree as a testimony to my deep friendship and kinship to my brother in the faith .
