What is Gospel Portions?

Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.

Ryan Bush: 00:02

In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love. Not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10.

Ryan Bush: 00:43

O Lord, I rejoice that I am under grace and that this covenant of grace leaves room for repentance and promises pardon upon repentance, which invites even backsliding children to return and promises that their backsliding shall be healed. Lord, I take hold of this covenant. Seal it to me at your table. There, let me find my heart truly humbled for sin and brought low with godly sorrow. Oh, that I may there look on him whom I have pierced and mourn and be in bitterness for him, that there I may sow in tears and receive a broken Christ into my broken heart. And there, let the blood of Christ, which speaks better things than that of Abel, be sprinkled upon my conscience to purify and pacify it. There, let me be assured that you are reconciled to me, that my iniquities are pardoned, and that I shall not come into condemnation. There say to me, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven. Amen. Matthew Henry.
