Genesis 41:51-52. The names of Joseph’s sons, born to him in the land of his exile, are full of the deepest interest and significance; his own history, remarkable and chequered as it was, I do not here refer to further than to notice, how it sets forth in figure and…

9 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. The Artificial and the Spiritual
2 Corinthians 3:18. It is very clear and distinct, feeble though the measure be in which the soul apprehends it, that it is only as we are occupied with Christ where He is that we are like Him in our ways. “But we all, with open face beholding as in…

8 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. Surpassing Glory and Surpassing Power
Publisher: G. Morrish 2 Corinthians 3:7 — 4:9. There is a great contrast introduced, in this third chapter, between the ministry which had its day on this earth and that ministry which is now in progress, and, I may say, very near its close. It is of importance to understand…

7 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. The Ensnaring Effects of the Visible
It is solemn to reflect, in this day, on how the visible and the human are being used to supplant the invisible and the spiritual. Every art of the enemy, his profound skill and dexterity, his many-sided and deeply laid plots, are all in requisition at this moment to destroy, if it were possible, and in any case,…

6 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. Divine Affections and Their Object

Philippians 1. 23-25; 3:17-21. May I say just one word about this question of the body, in reference to the place that it was intended of God to fill, as the vessel for the display of Christ’s power at this present moment. I would inquire, How far are we intelligently with God…

4 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. “Delivered unto death.”
Genesis 32:24-31; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. There appear to me to be in the history of Jacob remarkable instances of the two distinct times that the blessed God consciously conducts a soul into the solitude of His presence. The first is in chapter 18, when, as a poor wanderer from his father’s…

3 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. The Servant of the Lord
We are passing through a period which is very distinctly delineated in Scripture as “perilous times” of “the last days,” and for which special instruction is vouchsafed. The rocks and shoals, with which the troubled waters of our time abound, are all divinely marked out for us in that epistle…

2 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. “His heart and his hand.”
Numbers 13; Joshua. 14. It is most important to understand the moral condition of Israel at this time; otherwise great difficulty must be experienced in seeking to apprehend why Jehovah permitted Moses to send out spies to search the land of Canaan. A careful study of Deuteronomy will very clearly demonstrate…

1 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Occasional Paper. “One thing.”
Mark 10:17-27; Psalm 27:4-6. Publisher: G. Morrish The connection of these two scriptures is exceedingly interesting, because of the occurrence of the same words in them: “One thing.” Whilst in the young man in Mark 10 there was one thing that was lacking, with the saint, as in the Psalmist, there was, on…

Lecture 9. Luke 24:28-53. When last together, beloved brethren, we got as far into this closing chapter of the Gospel of Luke as that part where the Blessed One is seen expounding to those sorrowful travellers, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself. That was the point to which…

6 Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Addresses on the Gospel of Luke. “The Man Christ Jesus.”
Lecture 6. Luke 22:1-46. It can scarcely fail to strike the heart, beloved friends, in reading this mournful chapter, that every thought is on death. The gloom of death overspreads everything here. We are met with the malignity and hatred of men in murderous opposition to Christ; with the treachery…

Lecture 5. Luke 9:18-36. The way, beloved friends, in which the Spirit of God introduces to us the wonderful scene in this portion of Scripture is very worthy to be observed. The surroundings of it, the connections in which it is placed, are all strikingly in keeping with the magnificence…

Lecture 3. Luke 3:21-22. The ministry of John the Baptist, which mainly occupied us last week, was of such an exceedingly searching nature to every class, that none were exempt from responsibility by the application of his word to their consciences. It was as like the ministry of Elijah of…

Lecture 1. Luke 2:1-14. You will find, beloved brethren, in the Old Testament Scriptures, that the holy anointing oil employed in the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priest’s office was composed of several essential ingredients.
