WEEKEND GOSPEL REPORT



Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (03-05MAY19)

Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -God's unmerited favor- from their sins and from Hell:

For lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations; like as corn is sifted in a sieve; yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.” -AMOS 9:9 [KJV]

Blessed promise to my poor soul; sifted, blown about by temptation. Look then to Jesus with it, and plead it under every new sifting time. Corn must be sifted, for it is much covered at times with tares and chaff. And so must the seed of Jesus, that the precious may be known and separated;
"for what is the chaff to the wheat?" saith the Lord. Oh Lord, if it please Thee, for Thou knowest the necessity of it, sift me, try me, separate me, not only from the ungodly, with whom I am constrained to dwell, but from myself, from my own trifling, vain conversation, from the corruption of indwelling sin in my fallen nature, from the vain thoughts which lodge within me. Yes, precious Jesus; sift all, and every thing which is unsuitable to Thee, and let the whole fall through the sieve, that Thou alone mayest remain with me, for sure I know my God hath said, though His Israel be sifted, yet not the least grain of the true wheat shall be lost.

-exert from ‘The Poor Man's Morning and Evening Portions’
by preacher Robert Hawker (1753–1827 A.D.)
