“In all life’s ups and downs, remember that you are not bobbing around on the sea of chance, nor are you held in the grip of blind deterministic forces; you are being trained in the school of God’s providence.” —Alistair Begg

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in God’s justice Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head.

Unless we first understand God’s identity, we will never make sense of our own. So who is God? Psalm 8 proclaims that He is the Lord, the ruler of all things who created mankind in His image. Our inherent dignity, however, has been tarnished by sin. Contrasting God’s greatness with humanity’s frailty, Alistair Begg demonstrates the immense care for us that God expressed through the death of His Son, Jesus. It is this God alone who reaches out to us, answering the deepest questions of our souls.

Jesus Christ’s teaching about possessions is radical. It confronts both the selfish society in which we live and the sleeping church, which has so often gone with the flow of the world’s anxieties and greed. If the church is to be a shaft of light in the world’s darkness, then those who follow Christ will need to demonstrate a godly outlook toward worldly goods by embracing an absolute trust in the Father’s provision.

As a local church member, you’ll want to read Corporate Worship: How the Church Gathers as God’s People. This book explains the foundational framework of a worship service prescribed by Scripture. It unpacks who should gather, what we should do when we gather, and how each of us is to participate individually.

“If you consider yourself of little import, little ability, and little influence, then be encouraged, for God works through insignificant people in insignificant places.” —Alistair Begg

No strength of nature can sufficeTo serve the Lord aright:And what she has she misapplies,For want of clearer light.

“God is always at work among His people, and He will give victory—not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit.” — Alistair Begg

To one degree or another, everyone has faith. Anyone who has sat down in a barber’s chair has exercised faith in the barber’s skill. Anyone who has used an app to send money has trusted that it will get to the right person. But when it comes to the realm of religious experience, all kinds of spurious notions about faith abound. Indeed, one of the great barriers to an experience of true faith in God is confusion about what that faith actually is.

Have you started for glory and Heaven?Have you left this old world far behind?In your heart is the Comforter dwelling?Can you say, “Praise the Lord, He is mine”?Have the ones that once walked on the highwayGone back, and you seem all alone?Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies;God is still on the throne.

RefrainGod is still on the throne,And He will remember His own;Though trials may press us and burdens distress us,He never will leave us alone;God is still on the throne,He never forsaketh His own;His promise is true, He will not forget you,God is still on the throne.
Burdened soul, is your heart growing wearyWith the toil and the heat of the day?Does it seem that your path is more thornyAs you journey along on life’s way?Go away and in secret before HimTell your grief to the Savior alone;He will lighten your care, for He still answers prayer;God is still on the throne.
Refrain
You may live in a tent or a cottage,Unnoticed by those who pass by;But a mansion for you He is buildingIn that beautiful city on high;It will outshine the wealth and the splendorOf the richest on earth we have known;He’s the Architect true, and He’s building for you;God is still on the throne.
Refrain
“He is coming again,” is the promiseTo disciples when He went away;“In like manner as He has gone from you,You will see Him returning some day”;Does His tarrying cause you to wonder,Does it seem He’s forgotten His own?His promise is true, He is coming for you;God is still on the throne.
Refrain
Listen to the sermon “False Teachers among You” — Part One
