1. Christ is mentioned 23 times
2. make holy, slain, died, lives, took sin, set apart, died and rose again, came, make blessings, grabs you, holds closer, smiles, reigns on throne, calls home
3. Teaching God's word has changed over many years and the difference can be seen between Pastor Borghardt's and Edward's sermons. Edward seemed to believe that scaring people from hell was the best way to preach the Gospel while Pastor Borghardt taught about what God as done and how He loves us. Edward did not mention a lot about what Christ actually did for us, like Pastor Broghardt did, which made the congregation want to believe God out of fear and not because they fully trusted Him. Pastor Broghardt made Christ the action verb that helped people understand all God has done for us.
I agree with what you said about Edwards' sermon and how he did not mention Christ at all. I agree with how he was trying to get his listeners to believe in Christ out of fear and not love for God; I like how you put that in there.
ReplyDeletei like how you explain that Edwards' sermon was scaring us and Borghardt's sermon was abotu how Jesus died for us and loves us.
ReplyDeleteI like at the beginning where you explained the difference in the time periods. It helps us to understand the difference between the sermons.
