Preparing Our Hearts Through Prayer

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the importance of assembling together primarily for worship and mutual edification, urging believers to remember their heavenly citizenship and approach church gatherings with gratitude rather than entitlement. It calls for humility in response to God's chastening, a desire for revival instead of a mere return to normalcy, and a spirit of love and forbearance to overcome criticism and judgment. The preacher encourages prayer for these attitudes as the congregation prepares to reunite after a period of separation.
