Sermon Summary
This Sermon was preached at the Cincinnati Primitive Baptist church’s Annual Meeting, October, 1987.
Elder Jones first opens with an amusing story of his when a man wanted some furniture refinished. He told the gentleman that he upholstered furniture and did not refinish furniture. Nonetheless the man asked when he could start. After all attempts ran out, Brother Jones relinquished and refinished the furniture. It is a very funny story. But he likens this to the sad case of people not listening in our day, when men refuse and turn away their ears from the truth.
The Gospel, he says, is sufficient to them who are called by God’s grace – and that the Gospel speaks of the glorious things God has done for His people – IN CHRIST! And that the church, as he called it, ‘Liberty Mountain’, or the new or heavenly Jerusalem – is a place of quite rest and peace as we rejoice in glorious things of God. And then proceeds with many Scriptures.
This is a very uplifting sermon. While it is short, it is not a conversational style sermon, but exemplifies true heartfelt preaching and exhortation…full of Bible passages. It does not exemplify a mechanical or popular sermon filled with lofty phrases. Rather, when you listen,it is one preached with authority and you can easily recognize that the preacher is not overly concerned with being a successful preacher, but is concerned with preaching the message. His authority is not style but the very substance and words of the Gospel of Christ.
