When Spiritual Insight Dawns
Sermon by Dr Peter Masters from Mark 1.40 on 9 June
All Christ's healing miracles demonstrated both His divinity and the way He restores spirtually all who come to Him. The Lord's first healing of a leper says everything about the way to approach Him for the great experience of conversion, and the receiving of a new life.

THE CHRISTIAN ERA IN JEREMIAH (Jeremiah 3, etc)
Here are the prophecies of Christ, the Branch, and of His ransom for sinners; of the return of the exiles; of the calling out of believers in the Gospel age; of the calling of the Gentiles; of the New Testament ministry, and the regenerate character of the church. A message preached by Dr Masters on 12th June (Wed Bible Study).
COUNSEL FOR HOSTILE TIMES (Jeremiah 15-18) Although almost alone in his stand, Jeremiah obeyed God's express command in these chapters to make no concession to apostate culture (unlike many evangelicals today). Here also is the source of his strength, his occasions of doubt, meeting with God's reproof, and his preaching emphasis. A message preached by Dr Masters on 5th June (Wed Bible Study).
A PROPHET'S ADVICE TO CHRISTIAN WORKERS (Jeremiah 9-13) Here we glean the necessity of 1) strong sorrow for the lost, 2) ministering for conviction, 3) humbling ministry, 4) expansive labouring, 5) readiness for trials, 6) closeness to Christ. Precious and powerful verses to challenge and enliven sincere students of the Word. A message preached by Dr Masters on 22nd May (Wed Bible Study).
How to Plead With Souls
Sermon by Dr Peter Masters from Jeremiah 5-6 on 15 May
Why does the prophet appeal to Judah to repent, when he knows they never will? So that God's heart in the matter will be seen, obstinacy revealed and so that individuals may find the Lord. Here are lines of appeal still to be used today.
