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 [continue reading…]

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

Pastor Percy Gutteridge’s description of this message:
Why can we trust in the Lord at all times? Because He is the Truth and ever speaks the truth, and fulfilled prophecy bears this out:
- Jeremiah’s prophecy of the Jewish captivity;
- Daniel’s recognition of its fulfillment;
- Isaiah’s prophecy two hundred years before the birth of Cyrus the Persian, that he would be the man to restore the Jews to Jerusalem;
- Ezra’s and Nehemiah’s parts in doing this work.

Viewing His handiwork, whether in the vastness of the multiplied millions of galaxies in the universe or in the tiniest lifeform of an amoeba, we stand in awe of His power and wisdom when we consider the Gospel’s declaration: “All things were made by Him….” [continue reading…]

From Desolation to Paradise, a message by Pastor Percy Gutteridge

Percy Gutteridge
Pastor Percy Gutteridge was a Bible teacher
par excellence, and a spiritual father and mentor to many, including me. So for almost nine years it has been the special privilege of
FinestOfTheWheat.org and now KernelsOfWheat.com to be the exclusive source of Pastor Gutteridge’s messages, both in print and in audio format.
This message, From Desolation to Paradise, comes from Pastor’s series God in Creation and Providence. Concerned about the lack of true revival, and the dubious claims of human-generated revivals, this message looks at two passages—Genesis 2:1-17 and Ezekiel 36:25-38—to examine God’s principles of true, spiritual revival.
