Gethsemane—The Olive Press
Summary:

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (woodcut by Gustav Doré)
The name Gethsemane means olive press. King David had his Gethsemane, and “great David’s greater Son,” the Lord Jesus, had His. It came on a pleasant night in spring under a full moon. From Christ’s Gethsemane, by way of Calvary, the gift of the golden oil of the Spirit comes to us. But it is only if we will allow Him to take us through our own personal Gethsemanes, by the way of the Cross, that we shall be like Him, and share His power and exaltation. When He returns, He will abolish Gethsemane, says Zechariah; then there will be no more sorrow for His children.

The Seamless Garment of Christ
Summary:

“…now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.”
Have you ever clearly understood how Jesus Christ is God and Man, perfectly, at the same time?
Here’s a seemingly unrelated question: Have you ever given thought to Jesus’ seamless garment, for which the soldiers gambled during the Crucifixion (John 19:23)?
Why did Jesus wear a seamless garment, and why does the Holy Spirit bring that point out in the Gospel of John? Why is it significant that the garment is like the ephod of the high priest, “woven from the top throughout?” Pastor Percy Gutteridge unfolds the [click to continue…]

Show Notes for Grains from Gutteridge Podcast Episode #14: The Vine and the Branches
Summary:

“I am the Vine, you are the branches.”
Of this message, Pastor Gutteridge wrote:
God is the Husbandman, the great Vine-Dresser. He intends that His children should be fruitful with ever-increasing fruitfulness, so He purges them, that they may bring forth more fruit.
But they must abide in the Vine as living branches in the Vine; and the Vine is His own well-beloved Son. This abiding means complete obedience to the Son’s commandments, and in their loving obedience, God’s children bring forth much fruit.

Episode #12: Jesus, Our Great High Priest and Intercessor
Summary:
Gustav Doré’s illustration of Jesus at prayer in the garden.
In this message, Pastor Percy Gutteridge will clearly explain just what intercession is, keying this study off the description of Messiah in Isaiah 52:13–52:12. Jesus is shown as the Great High Priest, ever interceding on behalf of a rebel world and a largely indifferent Church, pleading and praying, having taken upon Himself the Earth’s sins and sufferings.
The Lord Jesus is seeking for Christians who will stand with Him to hold back inevitable judgment that otherwise must fall upon the much-favored and greatly-fallen West. Are you willing to [click to continue…]

Episode #11: The Ministries of John and Jesus
Gustav Doré’s rendering of the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist.
(Click on the image for a larger view.)
Summary:
Consider the days mentioned in John 1 & 2. “The third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee” (John 2:1); but what about the other two days? Trace back each following day to the first mentioned, John 1:19, and you find that the third day is actually the fifth. But how and why?
For that matter, how did the miracle at the wedding reveal Christ’s glory? How is Nathanael a key figure in the revelation? All this and more are made clear in this interesting and original approach to the beginning of John’s Gospel.
[Note: There is some faint back-chatter in the audio, which was inherited from the archival master cassette. Apparently, the original recording was made to a re-used tape which had not been completely erased. Nevertheless, we're thankful to be able to offer this message despite this audio imperfection.]

Episode #10: The Heavenly Race
Summary:
Percy Gutteridge
In 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Paul takes as a pattern the Marathon footrace of the ancient Greeks, well known to and partly copied by the Romans. This is a stimulating message on the Heavenly Race. Comfort and encouragement are given from the Scriptures and Christian experience. You will be surprised as to how much the epistles have to say about the Heavenly Race. This is an excellent message to listen to after you have seen the film Chariots of Fire
.

This message was delivered as the commencement address at Living Faith Bible College in 1986.
