This 1987 series, Rejoice Evermore, invites listeners to build a life of spiritual joy through transformation, prayer, sincerity, assurance, discipline, and hope. Brother Richard Stone unfolds practical exhortations from Scripture, showing how believers can face the challenges of hypocrisy, doubt, and temptation while holding fast to the certainty of salvation in Christ. Each lecture is both searching and uplifting, encouraging disciples to rejoice in the Lord always and to live with confidence in his coming glory.
Be Ye Transformed
The opening study draws from Romans 12, calling believers to resist the world’s influence and be transformed by the renewing of the mind. It confronts the dangers of moral decay and urges disciples to see sin as God sees it, cultivating a character shaped by holiness rather than conformity.
Instant in Prayer
This lecture explores the privilege and necessity of prayer. From the brief petitions of Nehemiah to the long night vigils of Christ, prayer is shown as the believer’s lifeline to God. The exhortation emphasizes faith, sincerity, and confidence that God hears, reminding listeners never to grow weary in seeking his help.
The Sin of Hypocrisy
Here the sobering accounts of Ananias and Sapphira, Gehazi, and the Pharisees are examined to show the seriousness of hypocrisy. The lesson highlights the danger of outward appearances masking inner corruption, and calls disciples to honesty, integrity, and wholehearted service before God.
The Assurance of Salvation
This class focuses on the believer’s confidence in Christ despite human weakness. Through passages in Romans, Corinthians, and Hebrews, it balances the sobering reality of judgment with the comfort of God’s forgiveness. The message assures that salvation rests not in self-righteousness but in faith, obedience, and the advocacy of Christ.
The Unruly Tongue
Drawing from James 3, this session reflects on the power of words to heal or destroy. With vivid illustrations of bits, rudders, and raging fires, it warns of the destructive effects of gossip and careless speech, while encouraging believers to use the tongue to edify and glorify God.
Rejoice in Glory
The final lecture centers on the “engrafted word” and the call to be doers, not hearers only. It challenges believers to let the word of God shape their daily lives, cultivating a faith that endures trials and reflects the character of Christ. True rejoicing comes in living faithfully now with eyes fixed on the kingdom to come.
