This evening’s sermon is delivered by the Reverend George Speers.
In this sermon on Zechariah 1:18-21, the Reverend George Speers explores the second of Zechariah’s night visions, contrasting the four horns that symbolise every assault on God’s people with the four craftsmen God raises up to defend them. Rev Speers applies this to the pressures facing the Western church today, from cultural hostility and legislation to persecution abroad, urging Christians not to be surprised by opposition but to take courage in Christ’s finished victory. He calls the congregation to guard their hearts, pray for the suffering church, and rest in the sovereignty of God amid rising cultural and spiritual attack.
