This sermon entitled friendship was preached by John Charles Ryle in the 1800s. Though written many years ago, this sermon is as fresh and relevant as if it was written today in the morning. “Yes, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my FRIEND!” Song of Solomon 5:16 “The Son of…
The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never;I nothing lack if I am His, And He is mine forever. Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth,And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me,And…
