PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH (BY SPURGEON)

Lord, save the unconverted and bring out from among them those who are converted but have not yet confessed Christ. May the church be built up through the addition of many who have believed and are baptized into the sacred name. Continue to multiply the faithful in the land. Oh, that you would turn the hearts of people back to the gospel once more.

Amen.

WEEKEND LONG READ (SERMON BY SPURGEON)

“Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead and descended from David, according to my gospel…” (2 Timothy 2:8)

The silent heart began again to beat, and through the stagnant canals of the veins the life-flood began to circulate. He literally and truly, in a material body, came forth from the tomb to live among men until the hour of his ascension into heaven. This is the truth which is still to be taught, refine it who may, spiritualize it who dare. This is the historical fact which the apostles witnessed; this is the truth for which the confessors bled and died. This is the doctrine -which is the key-stone of the arch of Christianity, and they that hold it not have cast aside the essential truth of God. How can they hope for salvation for their souls if they do not believe that “the Lord is risen indeed”?

What’s the Big Deal About the Resurrection?

Talking with a fellow pastor I know and trust, I recently asked a question. “What’s one quality you believe is indispensable for an effective pastor?” After a moment’s thought, the answer came: patience.
