What Did They Come to Hear from You Yesterday, Pastor?

Posted on January 15, 2018 by Matt Jury under George Whitefield

If any here do expect fine preaching from me this day, they will, in all probability, go away disappointed. For I came not here to shoot over people’s heads; but, if the Lord shall be pleased to bless me, to reach their hearts.

What Motivates Your Ministry?

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Matt Jury under Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Pastor, my prayer for you today is that you will have grace for the successes or failures of yesterday so that you may continue this week by grace, doing the impossible ministry God called you to do.

If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.

Attend a Gospel-preaching Church This Weekend

Saying you belong to the church without belonging to a church is like saying you’re married without having a wife.

A Great Prayer for the New Year

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Matt Jury under Jim Elliot

I pray for you, that all your misgivings will be melted to Thanksgivings. Remember that the shadow a thing casts often far exceeds the size of the thing itself. . . Oh that He would restore us often with that “aspect from beyond,” to see a thing as He sees it.
