*****************************   

To believe God is not a little thing: it is the index of a heart reconciled to God, and the token of true spirituality of mind; it is the essence of true worship, and the root of sincere obedience. He who believes his God in spite of his sins, does him more honor than cherubim and seraphim in their continual adoration. A little thing faith! How is it then that unbelief is so great a crime that it is marked out for reprobation as the one damning evil which shuts men out of heaven? Despise not faith lest you despise God. Whatever else you put in the second place, give faith the lead; it is not a vain thing, for it is your life.
C.H. SPURGEON 

****************************** 

Grace does not run in the blood, but there are certain privileges enjoyed by the children of believers that others do not have.  Our children have the privilege of hearing the WORD.  They have the privilege of certain principles that others do not have.  We are blessed today because of our Godly ancestors; not with salvation, but with the means unto salvation.

(2 Timothy 1:5)  "I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that is in thee also."

THE EXISTENCE OF GOD – STEPHEN CHARNOCK

The existence of God is the foundation of all religion.  Moses begins with the Author of creation, before he treats of the promise of redemption.  Paul preached God as creator (Acts 17:24) before he preached Christ as mediator...The devil directs his fiercest batteries against those doctrines in the Word, and those graces in the heart, which most exalt God and bring men to the lowest subjection to their Creator...Sin unlinks the dependence between God the Sovereign and man the subject.  Sin endeavors to subject God to the wills of men.  God is deposed, and man is enthroned;  God made a slave, and man a sovereign above Him.

NO OTHER NAME – JOHN OWEN

The preachers of the Gospel, in their particular congregation, being utterly unacquainted with the purpose and secret counsel of God, being also forbidden to pry or search into it, (Deuteronomy 29:21) may justifiably call upon every man to believe, with assurance of salvation to every one in particular, upon his so doing; knowing and being fully persuaded of this, that there is enough in the death of Christ to save every one that shall do so; leaving the purpose and counsel of God, on whom He will bestow faith, and for whom in particular Christ died (even as they are commanded), to Himself...When God calleth upon men to believe, He doth not, in the first place, call upon them to believe that Christ died for them; but that "there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved," but only of Jesus Christ, through whom salvation is preached.

THE PASTOR'S ANXIETIES – ROBERT M. M'CHEYNE

There is no end to a pastor's anxieties.  Our first care is to get you into Christ; and next, to keep you from falling.  I have a good hope, dearly beloved, that a goodly number of you have this day joined yourselves to the Lord.  But now a new anxiety begins, to get you to walk in Christ, to walk after the Spirit.  "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen." (Jude 24-25)

CALL TO WORSHIP
Issac Watts – 1709

Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels 'round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues
But all their joys are one.

"Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus."
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For He was slain for us."

Jesus is worthy to receive

Honour and power divine;

And blessings more than we can give,

Be Lord forever Thine.

Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise.

The whole creation join in one
To bless the sacred name
Of Him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

 
(Tune: "O For A Thousand Tongues")

(Psalm 36:7-8)  "How excellent is Thy lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou shalt make them drink of the river of Thy pleasures."
