Christmas Evans was born in Wales in the mid-1700s. He went from unable to read and write to a powerful preacher who preaches in a very unique and imaginative style. He would end up being one of the most famous preacher in Welsh history.This sermon was delivered in the mid 1930s and covered the subject "The Fear Of God." Too often we fear men or the opinions of man and do not properly fear and understand the Creator it is that we serve. This sermon, "The Triumph of Calvary," is a fantastic description of what occurred on the cross using Isaiah 63:1-6. Special thanks to Ed Backell or helping create this episode of Revived Thoughts. Pastor Ed Backell is a Washington state native, and has taught for 30+ years in churches in Oregon, Washington and Nebraska, currently in Warden, WA.

Watchman Nee is maybe the most famous preacher that has ever come out of China. He suffered persecution for the faith and was responsible for setting up hundreds of churches. But how many of us know much about his actual life story? In the sermon, "Why This Waste?" Watchman Nee challenges listeners to think through what the world might call wasting your life on God.

Soren Kierkegaard is known as the "Father of existentialism." So what is he doing preaching a sermon about a God that never changes? In this sermon, "The Unchangeableness of God," Kierkegaard argues that God has never forgotten any action that we have ever taken. That God's immutability is one of the most terrifying and true realities of God we have to deal with. Special thanks to Josiah Carrigan for reading this sermon for Revived Thoughts.

RT Selects: C.I. Scofield is a controversial and famous preacher who lived in the 1800s. His life story starts out very rough as a confederate soldier, a corrupt lawyer, and an alcoholic who destroys his own private practice and his family. His story changes completely when a friend tells him about Christ. His sermon, "The Deity Of Christ," comes across as one part apologetic work and another part invitation to meet the same history changing Christ that Scofield met. It is a passionate defense of the person of Christ, whom our faith rests on. Special thanks to Jonathan Clauson. Jonathan Clauson started with Clear Channel Radio in the '90s.

Don't forget to share this episode and comment on our posts for a chance to win a book from Banner Of Truth! Richard Sibbes, "The Bruised Reed." Horatius Bonar, more famous as a hymn-writer, was a preacher in the 1800s from Scotland. He did everything he could during a tough time of transitions for the Church of Scotland. He also had a hard personal life, losing five of his own children during his life. In this sermon, "Apostolic Sighs," Horatius points out that there is a rare glimpse into the life of the Apostle Paul and his own human worries and frustrations.

John G. Paton is one of the premiere missionaries of the 1800s. His courage and adventure shown in the sight of hostile people-groups and unpleasant conditions helped lead many to take their faith more seriously. His impact on a tribe of cannibals in the New Hebrides was huge. In this reading Paton discusses his desire to go to the New Hebrides people, but also the people and forces that were working against him and keeping him from being a missionary. Despite all the pressure, he stuck to God's calling for his life. Special thanks to Kris Estep for reading this story!
