Sermons on the Gospels by Matthias Loy “When you feel your burden of sin weighing heavily upon you, only go to Him… Only those who will not acknowledge their sin and feel no need of a Savior — only these are rejected. And these are not rejected because the Lord has no pity on them and no desire to deliver them from their wretchedness, but only because they will not come to Him that they might have life. They reject Him, and therefore stand rejected. But those who come to Him, poor and needy and helpless, but trusting in His mercy, He will receive, to comfort and to save.” – Matthias Loy Level of Difficulty: Primer: No subject matter knowledge needed. Matthias Loy (1828-1915) was one of American Lutheranisms greatest teachers. He served as president of the Joint Synod of Ohio, the Columbus Seminary and Capital University, and edited the Lutheran Standard and the Columbus Theological Magazine. In 1881 he withdrew the Joint Synod from the Synodical Conference as a result of Walther’s teaching about predestination. The Lutheran Library continues to find and republish lost issues of Loy’s Columbus Theological Magazine. “We should again and again set the precious truth before our eyes, that Jesus receiveth sinners with an eager and earnest desire to save them.” Book Contents ◊ Ephemera About The Lutheran Library Dedication Preface by Lutheran Librarian “The Gospel Shows the Father’s Grace” by Matthias Loy, 1863 Preface 1 Thy King Cometh to Thee. Matt. 21:1-9. Advent Sunday. 2 Christ’s Second Advent. Luke 21:25-36. Second Sunday in Advent. 3 Testimony That Jesus is the Christ. Matt. 11:2-10. Third Sunday in Advent. 4 The Preacher in the Wilderness. John 1:19-28. Fourth Sunday in Advent. 5 The Savior is Born. Luke 2:1-14. Christmas 6 Jesus is Set for the Fall and Rising of Many. Luke 2:33-40. Sunday After Christmas 7 The Sacrament of Circumcision. Luke 2:21. New Year’s Day 8 Hell Rages In Vain Against The Holy Child Jesus. Matt. 2:13-23. Sunday After New Year’s Day 9 The Heathen Come To Worship Christ. Matt. 2:1-11. Ephiphany 10 Lessons From The Youth Of Jesus. Luke 2:41-52. First Sunday After Epiphany 11 What Jesus Does At The Marriage In Cana. John 2:1-11. Second Sunday After Epiphany 12 Faith In The Redeemer. Matt. 8:1-13. Third Sunday After Epiphany 13 The Christian In The Storm. Matt. 8:23-27. Fourth Sunday After Epiphany 14 The Tares Among The Wheat. Matt. 13:24-30. Fifth Sunday After Epiphany. 15 What The Transfiguration Of Jesus Teaches. Matt. 17:1-9. Sixth Sunday After Epiphany 16 The Laborers In The Lord’s Vineyard. Matt. 20:1-16. Septuagesima 17 The Different Hearers Of God’s Word. Luke 8:4-15. Sexagesima. 18 Christ’s Last Journey To Jerusalem. Luke 18:31-43. Quinquagesima 19 The Temptation Of Christ. Matt. 4:1-11. First Sunday In Lent (Invocavit). 20 The Trial Of Faith. Matt 15:2-28. Second Sunday In Lent (Reminiscere). 21 Human Conduct In Reference To Divine Testimony. Luke 11:14-28. Third Sunday In Lent (Oculi). 22 The Believer Trusts Jesus Also In Temporal Things. John 6:1-14. Fourth Sunday In Lent (Laetere). 23 Our Savior’s Treatment Of Satan’s Children. John 8:46-59. Fifth Sunday In Lent (Judica). 24 How Shall We Honor Christ?

Read more My Experiences In The Mission Field Of South Dakota by Frank Albert Kiess “I received my first call into the largest mission field of the Northwest, in the State of South Dakota, far away from good old home. In September, 1892, I left home for my long journey. My good mother and a brother-in-law, Joseph Koby accompanied me as far as Chicago, where I kissed mother goodbye, but my brother-in-law went with me as far as Milwaukee. There we stayed one week, he returned and I went on to the icy North…” Level of Difficulty: Primer: No subject matter ... Read more The Forgiveness of Sin: And the Possibility of Attaining a Personal Assurance of it by Timothy East Timothy East’s practical book is intended to, “disturb the false peace of the criminally indifferent… impart consolation to the conscientiously fearful, (and to) excite to higher degrees of gratitude the comparatively few, who know that they are safe for eternity.” Timothy East (1817-1892) was the writer of the famous “Evangelical Rambler”, later republished under the title “The Sheepfold and the Common.” Level of Difficulty: Primer: No subject matter ...

Read more Kanamori's Life-Story Told by Himself; How the Higher Criticism Wrecked a Japanese Christian: And How He Came Back by Paul Michitomo Kanamori “Why did I leave the ministry when I left the Congregational church? Because, in the first place, my New Theology and Higher Criticism had destroyed my faith in the perfect, divine authority of the Bible; and in the second place, they had destroyed my faith in the perfect deity of Christ. When I had lost these two things I had lost everything… I could preach all the practical side of Christianity, but not the central fundamental truths of Christianity, Christ and his salvation ... Read more Election and Conversion. A Frank Discussion of Dr. Franz Pieper's Book by Leander Keyser “Note how often faith is mentioned in the epistles. Two of Paul’s epistles – Romans and Galatians – were expressly written to prove that men are justified by faith… The letter to the Hebrews devotes a whole chapter – the 11th – to a panegyric on the heroes of faith… faith is the outstanding doctrine of the New Testament, and therefore should take precedence of a doctrine like election, which is treated more incidentally.” — Leander Keyser Level of Difficulty: Primer: No ...

It traces this development through eighteen centuries, from the days of the apostolic and martyr Church to those of the mediaeval Church, the Reformation Church, and the Church of modern times. It is a history of the gradual evolution during eighteen centuries, under the influence of historical facts, of that system of interpretation which has commended itself to the ...
