MR.
SPURGEON TELLS THIS STORY
"We trust the Lord is on our side, Mr. Lincoln," said the speaker of a delegation of Christian people to that good man, during one of the darkest days of the American Civil War.
"I do not regard that as so essential as something else," replied Mr. Lincoln. The worthy visitors looked horror-struck, until the President added – "I am most concerned to know that we are on the Lord's side."
Mr. Lincoln was right. The right side is not my side or your side. The Lord's side is the place to which every one of us should rally. His banner has right, truth, love, and holiness written on it. Be sure you stand up for God's banner, even if you stand alone.
Luther's strength lay in the way in which
he laid the burden of the Reformation upon the Lord. Continually in prayer
he pleaded, "Lord, this is thy cause, not mine. Therefore, do thine own work;
for if this gospel do not prosper, it will not be Luther alone who will be
a loser, but thine own name will be dishonored."

ALL IN Christ – RALPH ROBINSON
All the spiritual blessings wherewith the Church is enriched are in and by Christ. The Apostle instances some of the choicest (Ephesians 1:3) "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:". Our election is by Him (Ephesians 1:4) "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:". Our adoption is by Him (Ephesians 1:5) "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will". Our redemption and remission of sins are both through Him. All the gracious transactions between God and His people are through Christ. God loves us through Christ; He hears our prayers through Christ; He forgives us all our sins through Christ. Through Christ He justifies us; through Christ He sanctifies us; through Christ He upholds us; through Christ He perfects us. All His relations to us are through Christ; all we have is from Christ; all we expect to have hangs upon Him. He is the golden hinge upon which all our salvation turns.

"Man
cannot be saved by perfect obedience, for he cannot render it; he cannot
be saved by imperfect obedience, for God will not accept it."

CALL
TO WORSHIP
Isaac Watts – 1709
Jesus,
we bless Thy Father's name;
Thy God and ours are both the same;
What heav'nly blessings from His throne
Flow down to sinners through His Son!
"Christ be My first elect," He said,
Then chose our souls in Christ, our Head,
Before He gave the mountains birth
Or laid foundations for the earth.
Thus did eternal love begin,
To raise us up from death and sin;
Salvation's gifts were then decreed,
Blameless in Christ, a Holy Seed.
Not all that men on earth can do
Shall cause His mercy to remove;
Nor pow'rs on high, nor pow'rs below,
Shall turn our hearts from Christ our Love.
(Tune:
Doxology)

(Psalms 117:1-2) "O
Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth
of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD."
