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: 00:17

Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, see him dying on the tree. 'Tis the Christ by man rejected. Yes, my soul. 'Tis he. 'Tis he. 'Tis the long expected prophet, David's son, yet David's Lord. By his son, God now has spoken. 'Tis the true and faithful word. Tell me, ye who hear him groaning, was there ever grief like this? Was there ever grief like his? Friends, through fear, his cause disowning, foes insulting his distress. Many hands were raised to wound him, none would interpose to save, but the deepest stroke that pierced him was the stroke that justice gave. Ye who think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great, here may view its nature rightly. Here, its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed. See who bears the awful load. 'Tis the word the Lord's anointed, son of man, son of God. Thomas Kelly.
