The Gift of Jesus

The only way Bathsheba could have taught this was through true repentence. Proverbs 14:1 "Buildeth" means to obtain children. "

On this Mother's Day we hope that you'll enjoy this sermon by Robert Murry M'Cheyne, a preacher who lived in the 1800s and died at the age of 30.  On the Close of a Communion Sabbath by Robert Murray M'Cheyne "What have I to do any more with idols?"—HOSEA   xiv. 8. Every one who has been truly united to Christ, and has this day confessed Him before men, should now take up these words, and solemnly, in the presence of God, declare, "What have I to do any more with idols?" Two reasons are given. God loves you freely . —Ver. 4. If you are this day come to Jesus, God loves you freely.
