Freedom (JC Ryle)

Ryle's sermon entitled Freedom demonstrates to us that the most important kind of freedom is spiritual, the freedom only Christ can give.

Keep Watching and Be Ready – The Ten Virgins

The Lord has intentionally left the time of His return, secret, known only to Him. We must be continually ready because there will be no time to prepare to meet Him when He comes.

Self-Idolatry is a Road to Hell

In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax-collector, we see in the Pharisee how pride leads the sinner to create an image of himself to be worshipped. It is idolatry of the worst kind.

Eternal Punishment

Purgatory is a denial of the doctrine of eternal punishment. Rome claims to believe in hell but in practice she provides for a "hell" which is temporal.

The Gate is Narrow and Few Enter It

We have, in this series on the doctrine of eternal punishment, looked at these two verses several times, emphasizing the narrowness of the way to life in Christ contrasted with the wideness of that Broadway that leads to destruction. This morning, as we look at these scriptures again, our focus will be upon the few who enter through it, let alone who even find it.

Man Hears of Hell But Flatters Himself

Everyone expects to go to heaven, but few will ever do so. Sinners demand the gate to be opened to them and offer many reasons it should be.

The Ascension of Christ

Why is the doctrine of the ascension of Christ a vital truth for us? It has been largely ignored in the churches today and this is a very big mistake.

Many Will Seek to Enter, Few Will be Able

On that day when Christ returns in judgment, many will insist upon the right to enter heaven, but they will not be able. This multitude will include the majority of people who professed to be Christians.
