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

Episode #9: A Son or Daughter of God, a message by Pastor Percy Gutteridge
Summary:
Orpah returns as Ruth leaves with Naomi for Bethlehem Judah (from an illustration by Doré)
Starting in Ruth chapter 1 as he did in last month’s Grains from Gutteridge podcast, Pastor Gutteridge weaves in Peter’s report about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the house of Cornelius (Acts 11), and brings forth a helpful message about our adoption into God’s family.
Key Scripture passages:
- Ruth 1
- Acts 11:1-18
- Micah 5:2
- Ephesians 3:1-6
In Christ there is no East or West,
In Him no South or North;
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.

A Song Singing Me
Way back in the mid-1970s, my friend and co-pastor at Bethesda Fellowship, Terry Haugh, would often testify, “I woke up this morning with a song singing me.” This was his apt description of a phenomenon I’ve often experienced. Happy are the mornings when, as I awaken, even before I’m fully conscious and alert, I realize that the words of a particular hymn are being raised to God in my spirit. It’s often a way that the Holy Spirit [click to continue…]

Our thanks go out to Fellowship member Wanda Hilyer, who unearthed an appropriate commemoration hymn for the tenth anniversary of the 9/11/2001 attack. Based on Psalm 33:12, Georgia Elliott’s hymn, The Blessed Nation, offers a wealth of Scriptural allusions, and its refrain reminds us of the chief requirement for Divine blessing on this or any nation:
How blessed is the people
Whose God is the Lord!

Episode 003: No “God Bag Needed” (1 John 1:3-5)
The “God Bag”—a poor substitute for fellowship with the living God. (But thanks to Mark Sinclair anyhow!)
Ongoing study suggestion: Read 1 John each week (the letter has only five chapters) and the Gospel of John each month.
Review from last week:
- Fellowship
- “What is man…?”
- A “God Bag”?!
My misconception of a “God Bag”

Jerry and Dar Johnson of Christian Concourse Ministries
Three days ago I received a note from Jerry Johnson, a local minister friend, who holds his ministerial credentials with the Evangelical Church Alliance International, the same group through which I am currently ordained. He was kind enough to create a link from his website, ChristianConcourse.org, to the Powerful Poetry page on our original site, FinestOfTheWheat.org. (Thanks, Jerry!)
That got me to thinking about two reasons why you might want to [click to continue…]
