Tabernacle Sermons By A. B. Simpson

Tabernacle Sermons

Beginning in 1886 A.B. Simpson began publishing a series of books called “Tabernacle Sermons.”  These books contained messages that he had preached in the Gospel Tabernacle, New York City, New York and subsequently published in eleven volumes.

These books are reprints of their original volumes.  The content has been kept as close to the original as possible.  Spelling was modernized in a few places, and where there were obvious errors in the text (one or two), comparisons were made to later editions of the books to keep the author’s intent.  Some of the original eleven volumes were combined, and some of the author’s other books were added into the series.

VOLUME 1

The King’s Business

(This book is a series of messages dealing with leadership, ministry, and service.  In subsequent years (after the first edition) this book was broken into pieces and printed as three different books: (1) “Holy Ghost Ministries,” containing chapters 4, and 6-11; (2) “The King’s Business,” containing chapters 1-3, 13 and 16; and (3) “Service for the King,” containing chapters 5, 12, 14-15, 18-20.  This book is a reprint of the first edition.)

VOLUME 2

The Fullness Of Jesus

(A book-by-book revealing of Christ in each of the New Testament books.)

VOLUME 3

The Gospel Of The Kingdom

(A book dealing with end-time prophecy.)

Volume 4

Natural Emblems Of Spiritual Life

This volume is a book containing sermons dealing with spiritual truths as they are revealed in things of life and nature.

Volume 5

In Christ

This book contains three volumes: The Four-Fold Gospel, The Christ Life, & The Christ Life And The Self Life (This book was originally printed as three separate books: The Four-Fold Gospel, Volume 5 of Tabernacle Sermons; The Christ Life, Volume 8 of Tabernacle Sermons; and The Christ Life And The Self Life, which was printed as an individual book.)  Also added to “The Self Life” were two chapters taken from, “Standing On Faith.”  These chapters are: 14 “The Curse of Selfishness”, and 15 “Ishmael and Isaac; Or the Death of Self.”

This volume deals with the basic essentials of coming into Christ and the Christian life.  Though it contains the basics, it is by no means a shallow book only to be read by new or young believers.  The section dealing with the self life is a worthy study for any stage of the believer’s life.

Volume 6

Divine Emblems In Genesis And Exodus

This volume walks the reader through the wilderness journey with the Israelites revealing types and examples of the New Testament Christian life.  (This book was originally printed as two separate volumes: Volume 6, and Volume 7, in the original Tabernacle Sermons.)

Volume 7

Christ In The Tabernacle And Leviticus

A.B. Simpson claimed he could find Christ on every page of the Bible.  This volume is a great example of this as he reveals to the reader the things of Christ in the tabernacle.  Added into this volume is “Christ in Leviticus.”  A.B. Simpson say of Leviticus, that it “is the Book of Reconciliation and Fellowship.  It brings us into the tabernacle, and opens to us all the privileges of access to the presence of God, and our place of blessing as His priestly household.

(This book was originally printed as two separate books Volume 9 Christ in the Tabernacle – part of the Tabernacle Sermons Series; and Christ in Leviticus – part of the Christ in the Bible Series.)

Volume 8

Joshua & The Land Of Promise

This volume reveals the types and examples of the Christian life as it is seen in Joshua, which is one of the authors best writings.  Also contained in this volume is “The Land of Promise” revealing the higher Christian life as it is revealed in the Israelites coming into the Promise Land.

(This book was originally printed as two separate books: The Land Of Promise Volume 10 of Tabernacle Sermons; and Christ in Joshua – part of the Christ in the Bible Series.

Volume 9

Walking In The Spirit &

When The Comforter Came

This book was originally printed as two separate books: “Walking In The Spirit,” Volume 11 of Tabernacle Sermons, and “When The Comforter Came” was printed as a thirty-one day devotional dealing with the Holy Spirit.

A.B. Simpson wrote much on the Holy Spirit.  He felt that the Holy Spirit was indispensible to the Christian life and of absolute necessity.  He had a great influence on the Pentecostal churches, and many modern Pentecostal denominations were founded by men and women that read much of Simpson’s writings.
