PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH (BY SPURGEON)

O blessed God, we must be helped of your Spirit or we cannot worship you rightly. Behold the holy angels adore you and the hosts redeemed by blood bring everlasting hallelujahs to your feet. What are we, the creatures of a day, polluted with sin, that we should think that we can praise you? And yet the music of praise were not complete if your children did not join in it, even those of them who are still in this world below. Help us, then; enable us to tune our harps and to fetch forth music from our spirit.

Amen.

WEEKEND LONG READ (SERMON BY SPURGEON)

Sin and Grace

I trust that any here present, who have gone far in sin, may be saved by the immeasurable grace of God ere they leave this building, and that, throughout the whole of their future lives, they may love Jesus Christ better, and serve him more than others who have not sinned as deeply as they have.

The Trajectory of Apostasy

On this episode of the FTC Podcast, Jared Wilson and Ross Ferguson discuss the peculiar tragedy of those who evidently “fall away.” Are there warning signs before apostasy? What should we look out for and how can we address the red flags in biblical and gracious ways?

Listen to this podcast on For the Church.
