Brothers and sisters, we must be more earnest in seeking God in worship. We must be less flippant and less frivolous and thoughtless and casual and disrespectful as we approach the chamber of God in the assembly of the faithful. Have you ever thought through the implications of Jeremiah 29:13 where God says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me WITH ALL YOUR HEART." There is only one reason to come to this service – to seek and find GOD! And the Lord God says to you straight from his Word every Sunday, "You will find me when you seek me with ALL YOUR HEART!"

INSTRUCTIONS

tablepsoon butter, add the chicken, meat-side down and saute the breasts, 3
minutes on each side, before removing to place in an ovenproof dish. Place
in the oven and roast for 7 minutes while you finish the plum sauce. To the

the liquid is reduced by half. Swirl the remaining butter into the plums.
Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, test for doneness by pressing the
breast which should be firm to the touch. Place the chicken on a serving
dish and pour the plum mixture over the chicken. Serve immediately with
potato latkes and sour cream. This recipe yields 4 main course servings.

A Message from our Provider:

“A Clear Conscience Makes a Soft Pillow”

16 July 1842: I feel that, unless the soul be saturated with prayer and faith, little good may be expected from preaching. 4 September 1842: Prayer should be the main business of every day. 22 February 1846: God will not let me preach with power when I am not much in Him. More than ever do I feel that I should be as much an intercessor as a preacher of the Word. 4 June 1848: It is praying much that makes preaching felt. 29 December 1849: My chief desire should be . . . to be a man of prayer, for there is no want of speaking and writing and preaching and teaching and warning, but there is need of the Holy Spirit to make all this effectual. 21 February 1862: I am convinced that living in the spirit of prayer from hour to hour is what brings down the blessing. 9 September 1876: A time of impotence rising from want of much prayer. Nothing but constant intercourse with the Lord will carry on the soul. I got last Saturday set apart as a day of prayer; and I trace much of my help to that day. 22 June 1878: Ask much, for this is the way to grow rich. 12 May 1888: Found time to give the whole of this day entirely to prayer and meditation. There will be fruit of it to me and my people.
