Unfortunately, we did not capture a sermon recording on Sunday. Below, we’ve included the reading from Jonathan Edwards that we shared during the service. We hope this stirs your heart to worship our great God and Savior, and reminds you what a privilege it is to be his people.

Their God is a glorious God. There is none like him, who is infinite in glory and excellency. He is the most high God, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders. His name is excellent in all the earth, and his glory is above the heavens. Among the gods there is none like him. There is none in heaven to be compared to him, nor are there any among the sons of the mighty that can be compared to him. Their God is the fountain of all good, and an inexhaustible fountain. He is an all-sufficient God, able to protect and defend them, and do all things for them. 

He is the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle: a strong rock, and a high tower. The eternal God is their refuge, and underneath are everlasting arms. He is a God who has all things in his hands, and does whatever he pleases. He kills and make alive; he brings down to the grave and brings up; he makes poor and makes rich: the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s. Their God is an infinitely holy God. There is none holy as the Lord. And he is infinitely good and merciful. 

Many that others worship and serve as gods, are cruel beings, spirits that seek the ruin of souls, but this is a God that delights in mercy. His grace is infinite, and endures forever. He is love itself, an infinite fountain and ocean of it.

Such a God is their God! Such is the God of them who have forsaken their sins and are converted! They have made a wise choice who have chosen this for their God. They have made a happy exchange indeed, that have exchanged sin, and the world, for such a God!

They have an excellent and glorious Savior, who is the only-begotten Son of God: the brightness of his Father’s glory. One in whom God from eternity had infinite delight; a Savior of infinite love; one that has shed his own blood, and made his soul an offering for their sins, and one that is able to save them to the uttermost.

Their people are an excellent and happy people. God has renewed them, and stamped his own image upon them, and made them partakers of his holiness. They are more excellent than their neighbors. They are the excellent of the earth. They are lovely in the sight of the angels, and they have their souls adorned with those graces that in the sight of God himself are of great price.

The people of God are the most excellent and happy society in the world. That God whom they have chosen for their God, is their Father. He has pardoned all their sins, and they are at peace with him, and he has admitted them to all the privileges of his children. 

As they have devoted themselves to God, so he has given himself to them. He has become their salvation, and their portion: his power and mercy, and all his attributes are theirs. They are in a safe state, free from all possibility of perishing. Satan has no power to destroy them. 

God carries them on eagle’s wings, far above Satan’s reach, and above the reach of all the enemies of their souls. God is with them in this world. They have his gracious presence. God is for them: who then can be against them? As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so God is round about them. 

God is their shield, and their exceeding great reward, and their fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. They have the divine promise and oath, that in the world to come they shall dwell forever in the glorious presence of God.
