Here's a sermon recommendation for you in case you cannot go to church or stream your church's sermon.....just Google.....J. C. Ryle, The Good Way. The sermon was preached in 1883 and is on a verse I've mentioned many times in these posts....Jeremiah 6:16...."Thus saith the LORD. Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."
Ryle begins by lamenting how Jeremiah was so little read in his day. He then described the book as being written by...."a Jewish priest....in a peculiar crisis....in the last days of Judah....to a wicked king....and a corrupt people....in a rotten church....with a dead formal priesthood."
It's not a typical sermon on Jeremiah though....as it dwells on the 'rest' that is offered. It's a very practical sermon in that Ryle speaks [writes] in depth on how the people no longer think through the issues of the day....which is why they came up with the wrong answers. It speaks to us today if we will listen....and is an edifying sermon by one of the two pillars of the church in London....in the last half of the nineteenth century....Charles Spurgeon being the other pillar.
Addendum: I came across this today....(the Lord's Day)....Ryle’s ‘The Finger Of God’.....switch coronavirus for England’s 19th century Hoof and Mouth disease and it is a perfect sermon for America today.
Or this one today....(Monday).....Charles Spurgeon's....Compassion For Souls....which could have been called....Parents Saved Late In Life....(words he used in the sermon)....or....'A Pastor's Pleas For The salvation Of His Congregation." I had heard this sermon a few times before. Is it fanatical to listen to so many sermons....even over and over? If salvation were only a good thing.....maybe....but being as it is....the most wonderful joy that the human mind is capable of....then it is as normal as inhaling and exhaling.
