The Glory of Grace Effected by Weak Means

The Glory of Grace Effected by Weak Means - Being the Substance of a Sermon, Preached on the Death of Samuel Church, Aged Twelve Years. On Sunday Evening, April 14, 1822, by J. Church, at the Surrey Tabernacle.

When David had his mind most divinely elevated and filled with holy thoughts of the person, work, and glory of the dear Redeemer, he burst forth in holy admiration, joy, and praise, in this adoring language: I will extol thee, my God, O king! I will bless thy name for ever and ever! One generation shall praise thy works unto another, and shall declare thy mighty acts: and surely the most wonderful and astonishing act, is the everlasting salvation of lost, ruined, guilty man. This is a greater act than the formation of worlds, either heaven or earth. The salvation of one poor sinner is a more marvellous display of God, than the creation, with all its wonders. This salvation we are to speak of to others, both ministers and people; and in proportion as we see our interest in it, so are we to declare its greatness, because it is the highest act of God, as the God of all grace, and I could wish this task, on this solemn, and to me, painful occasion, had devolved on one suitable, but supported by the Lords presence, upheld by his power, and p. 4cheered with his approbation in my mind, I humbly attempt to rehearse the wonders of his love, the riches of his grace, and the displays of his mercy to me, and mine, and attempt, in my poor way, to prove the glorious truth in the text: Out of the mouths of babes God has ordained his own glory, the glory of his love, his grace, his mercy, his truth, his power, his faithfulness, and infinite condescension. It is true that I can do no justice to the important words, by way of a Sermon. They contain a vast store of rich truth and precious experience. I must therefore merely glance at the meaning, and shew, in as concise a manner as I can, to whom they belong, and to whom they will, with scriptural propriety, apply. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
