We are in a global pandemic afflicting everyone, and there are countless difficulties besetting individual members of this congregation. For that reason, it seems to me that it would be good to hum along with “Come, Thou Font of Every Blessing,” Read 1 Samuel 7:3-17, and preach on our need to raise an Ebenezer this coming Sunday (August 16, 2020). If the only Ebenezer you know is Scrooge, well, that’s one more reason to join us for worship and look to God for encouragement.
