The Faithfulness of God

Today we commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the First Baptist Church of Leominster, Massachusetts. The preserving and sustaining mercy and grace of God has been evident through the history of this church of Jesus Christ. We will attempt to emphasize our Lord’s kindness to us in two ways. First, we will provide an overview of history of Baptist churches in New England, attempting to provide an historical context in which our church has existed and emerged to what it is today. Second, we will consider the record of God’s dealing with His people in an Old Testament passage—Lamentations 3—from which we may draw out several attributes of our God, who has brought us through history to where we are today.
