Father, help us now as we draw to the close of this Lord’s Day that You would once again give us ears to hear. This is no less Your Word because it comes on Sunday evening instead of Sunday morning, because there may be fewer in the evening than in the morning, and we no […]

The Administration of Generosity
Father in heaven, we gather around Your Word and we simply ask that You would speak and that we would listen. We do not want to waste our time, neither the preacher nor the listeners’, and so we pray that Your Spirit would descend upon us and there would be a holy unction as Your […]
The Administration of Generosity
The Blessing of Generosity
Father in heaven, as we come to Your Word we simply pray that You would help us, help me to speak humbly, boldly, truthfully. Help Your people to listen, humbly and well.

The Case for Conscience
The Character of Generosity
Father in heaven, speak to us clearly and by Your grace give us ears that we may hear and listen and be changed. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Our scripture passage this morning comes from 2 Corinthians chapter 8. Here’s what we’re doing for the next six weeks or so. We’re taking a break from Genesis, […]
The Dangers of a Different Jesus

The Motivation for Generosity
Father in heaven, the words that we have just sung, familiar words to many of us, would You make this our prayer, that the sweetness of Jesus would fill the air, that You would dispel with glorious splendor whatever darkness lies in each human heart in this room, that the Lord Jesus, true man yet […]
The Valley of Vision
Gracious heavenly Father, we come and we pray again, not out of mere habit or custom but out of a real sense of need. I need Your help to preach Your Word. I don’t want to rely upon past experience or past graces or study or habits. I need Your Spirit. And we Your people […]
To Boast Or Not To Boast
It’s one of the most remarkable, amazing, and tragic stories from the Old Testament. You may recall the good king Hezekiah, and though we remember him as one of Judah’s righteous kings, yet perhaps you may recall that the ending of his days did not end so well. We read in 2 Chronicles, or in […]
