Sermon Summary
This is another powerful sermon on the condition of the Kingdom at the time of Christ and the subsequent removal of it from the Jews and the giving of it to the Gentiles.
Micah 4:1 is the text. A great point is made concerning the first word of Elder Darity's text, 'But'. And that is, the prophet is contrasting the future blessings of NT Zion over the terrible spiritual condition and the ultimate cessation of the Jewish Kingdom of Judah of the OT economy. He further elaborates that this NT blessing, when "many nations shall come" did not follow a 1000 year perfect, purified and progressive Christian world. He uses graphic language to convey the blessings of the Gentiles in the Gospel age.
And then he illustrates and compares the closing out of that dispensation with the signs of our church life today. The spiritual apathy, coldness and non response to the Gospel today and the possible reasons for it. He expresses his concern that we have more interest in "mud and mortar" of new buildings than in the spiritual nature of the kingdom. He quotes Pat Byrd, "Us has brought us here."
He will speak to the "plows and the pruning hooks" necessary for the welfare of the church. And what these phrases suggest.
This is another sermon that best characterizes, not only the manner of his style of preaching, namely extemporaneous, but the message he was so concerned about.
