PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH (BY SPURGEON)

O Lord God, we earnestly seek your help in truly worshiping you. We thank you for this occasion and bless your name for setting apart this sacred season. Lord, would you please shut the door on the distractions of the world for us? Help us forget our worries and concerns. Enable us to rise above the worldly tendencies that weigh us down. May the allure of earthly things fade away, and may you draw us close to yourself.

Amen.

WEEKEND LONG READ (SERMON BY SPURGEON)

“But I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will deliver them by the LORD their God. I will not deliver them by bow, sword, or war, or by horses and cavalry.” (Hosea 1:7)

God will save his own people in his own way. He tells us positively how he will save the house of Judah, and negatively how he will not save them. God displays his sovereignty not only in the persons saved, but in the ways whereby that salvation is wrought out.
