English-Tagalog Expositional Sermons

“Now after the death of these [Peter and Paul], Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, himself also transmitted to us in writing the things preached by Peter.”—Irenaeus (ca. 140-203)“The busy worker pictured in this Gospel was the mighty Servant of Jehovah who, as the Son of God, revealed His power over the visible and the invisible world. . . .

His basic purpose was evangelistic, to win converts to the Christian faith.”—D. Edmond Hiebert

“Evangelical preaching ought to reflect our conviction that God’s Word is infallible and inerrant. Too often it does not. In fact, there is a discernable trend in contemporary evangelicalism away from biblical preaching and drift toward an experience-centered, pragmatic, topical approach in the pulpit.” ---John MacArthur

“Who is this person, pierced through, for whom the people mourn? The most natural reading of the Hebrew is that it is Yahweh himself: ‘They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn’ (12:10).

“He who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.’ I commonly observe that almost all men, whether good or bad, do loathe the proud, and love the humble.”—Richard Baxter

"Whate'er my God ordains is right: Here shall my stand be taken. Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken. My Father's care is 'round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall. And so to Him, I leave it allAnd so to Him, I leave it all." —Samuel Rodigast, 1675

"God's gracious love, notwithstanding its sovereignty, is neither whimsical nor arbitrary. God's grace is experienced only in terms of Christ.

Barrett

You pity the one who has no absolutely hope because they have no resurrected Christ.”—Voddie Baucham
