II. CHURCH CONCERNS
1. Preaching
● In our Sunday School, Chapter 5 On Divine Providence. May the Lord help us not only to view and appreciate the sovereignty of God in his sustaining of all things in accordance to His goodness and might, but also to live in light of this comforting truth. Let us then be free from carnal anxieties, fatalistic errors and sin, as well as ruinous presumptions, but give due diligence in availing the means that God has given and ordained as well.
● In our first service, we saw Christ’s commendation of the Syrophoenician woman’s great faith. May we be constantly reminded that difficulties and hardships are fertile grounds for our faith to grow, therefore we are not to despise them, rather exercise obedience and diligent persistence even in the midst of such difficulties. Such great faith is also seen in the intercession in behalf of others. May we all grow in these aspects of faith.
● In our Second Service, The Greatest King, someone greater than Solomon. As we are reminded of the supremacy of Christ over Solomon not just in his temporal attainments but His greatest act of redeeming sinners, may we continue to serve and worship Him as our Savior and king.
2. Services. Let us pray for help in sanctifying and delighting in the Lord’s day. May we profit from His Word that we may apply it in our daily lives. Let us pray then for wisdom for those who will bring God’s Word of to us this Sunday.
