Our Wednesday evening study is based on the (currently) new John Owen title from Banner of Truth, Searching Our Hearts in Difficult Times. The book contains three parts. The first part is a collection of 14 short lectures given at Owen’s church, where there had been discussion of a topic, followed by Owen’s lecture. Part 2 is a sermon entitled, “Difficult and Dangerous Times.” The third part is a series of four sermons on the subject of living by faith in difficult times.
