PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH (BY SPURGEON)
There are many who are now joining us, great God, in this prayer, that we may have many conversions this very morning. We mean to look, and wait, and watch for it. We ask that this very morning, while Jesus Christ is lifted up, many may look unto him and be cured of the serpent’s bite forever. You have promised to hear your people’s prayer, and this is a prayer that must be according to your mind; and it is for the honor of your dear Son; and it is put up in faith, put up in faith in Jesus. Give us then a great increase to the church, by the preaching of the gospel this morning.
Amen.

WEEKEND LONG READ (SERMON BY SPURGEON)
Two Sorts of Hearers
Pause and consider what God the Lord sets before you. Be a doer of the word. Do what God bids you. As he bids you repent, repent; as he bids you believe, believe; as he bids you pray, pray; as he bids you accept his grace, God helping you, do it. Oh, that it might be done at once, and to the Lord shall be praise world without end.

PREPARE FOR MINISTRY AT MIDWESTERN
With all the hardships and headwinds Christian ministers face in a post-Christian world, along with the growing reality of ministry burnout, this year’s For The Church National Conference seeks to remind ministry leaders and saints alike of the glorious calling of everyday ministry. There may be days filled with difficulties and loss, yet being a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ is worth every pain, every worry, and every tear.
Join us in Kansas City on September 11-12 to remember why everyday ministry matters for the glory of God and the good of the Church.
