Churches of Christ -- Sermons; Sermons, American -- 20th century
Don’t you want to hear Christ and obey this new law enacted upon better
promises, glorious in its origin, glorious in its power and purpose, and
glorious because it leads to a life of eternal glory for all of those
who faithfully follow it? While we stand and sing we bid you come to
Jesus and let him save you from all your sins.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISM REVIEWED
Those of you who were present last Lord’s day remember that I spoke on
the topic “The Sabbath.” Since that time I have received several letters
from people who were not able to be present, but who requested that I
send them a copy of the lesson presented. I’m glad to announce that the
sermon was recorded by dictaphone and will be ready for free
distribution soon. I have also received many requests that I continue
today along the same line that was begun last Lord’s day. To these
requests I am conceding. It would be more pleasant to preach without
naming the mistakes of others but, when the souls of men and women are
involved, we cannot afford to shirk our duty.

Review
The main points in the lesson last Lord’s day were as follows:
1. Bible history is divided into three periods: the Patriarchal
Dispensation; the Mosaic Dispensation; and the Christian
Dispensation.
2. There was no sabbath during the first period which lasted from Adam
to Moses.
3. The sabbath commandment never applied to the Gentiles—not even during
the Mosaic dispensation.
4. The sabbath commandment was confined to the law of Moses which was
abolished when Christ died on the cross.
5. Christians are not required to rest on Saturday.
6. Christians are taught to worship on the first day of the week.
In the correspondence received since last Lord’s day there is no word of
criticism or objection. I take the silence to mean that those who were
present were convinced that what was said was based on Bible authority.
I am determined that the same shall be true of what I say today. It is
my prayerful purpose to preach nothing but what is plainly revealed in
the Bible.
The ushers have given you a mimeographed copy of some of the main points
to be discussed in today’s lesson. You may use these papers to make
further notes, especially to take note of the Bible references used,
that you may go home and read them for yourselves and see that what we
say is true. The noble people of Berea searched the Scriptures daily to
see whether they had heard the truth. If all people would do that, it
would not be so easy for error to gain acceptance.
