Revived Thoughts

This episode features another special interview! Troy and Joel interview Greg Gordon, the man who runs the website Sermon Index. The largest compository of old sermons online and also the man behind most old sermon audio content that can be found on Youtube. We have him on the show and ask him what makes these old sermons so great! In this sermon, "The Gifts To The Flock," we listen to a sermon by Alexander Maclaren. If you're wondering who Alexander Maclaren is, I highly recommend listening to an earlier episode we did on him! Special thanks to John Brand for reading this sermon! Born to missionary parents in India, John was brought to saving faith in Christ while at boarding school in south India.  Back in UK, and a few years after leaving school, he studied at the Bible Training Institute in Glasgow, and then, for the next 12 years, pastored two Independent Evangelical churches, one in the inner city of London and then one in Liverpool, during some of which time he also served on the UK Council of Africa Inland Mission International (AIM). In 1993 he took on the role of AIM’s Director for Scotland, becoming Director for UK and Europe in January 1999. During his 8 years in this position he exercised a Bible teaching ministry throughout UK and Europe and made regular visits to many of AIM’s fields of service in Africa, where he was involved in ministering to missionaries and nationals. After serving for five years on the staff of The Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh, first as Vice-Principal and then as Principal, in 2012 John, in partnership with local church leaders, set up Edinburgh Bible College which he now serves as Principal. John is married to Caroline and they have two grown up sons and one granddaughter, John is also Pastor of Grace Community Church, Broxburn, which he planted in 2014 and contributes book reviews and articles to Christian publications and is author of three books – A Concise Chronology of the Bible, Mission Matters and The Bible As It Happened. Apart from preaching and teaching God’s Word himself, nothing gives him more pleasure and satisfaction in ministry than equipping other men for ministry and John has led preachers’ workshops in several countries, most notably and enjoyably in Sudan and South Sudan.

These two men have come out with a new podcast, "Luther In Real Time," with Ligonier which goes through the life of Martin Luther exactly 500 years from the events of his story. These two men give us insights into why this Reformation Leader has stood the test of time as a hero to so many. In this sermon, "The World Through Jesus Eyes," we see two miracles through the lens of Jesus Christ. The healing of the woman who touched the hem of his cloth and the little girl who had died. Luther gives incredible insight into these often preached subjects and breathes fresh life into them. Special thanks to Bryan Wolfmueller for preaching this sermon.

But the two had a theological rift that nearly destroyed their ministry. His sermon, “The funeral of George Whitefield,” shows the end of that feud.

This sermon was likely preached in the 1820’s and 1830s. His sermon, “Eternity!” challenges our view of eternity. Most of us do not like to think of eternity. But Dagg would call into question thinking of anything else. Special thanks to John Raynar for reading this sermon.

T. Dewitt Talmage lived and preached in the late 1800s. He was a sensational preacher that pushed people to re-examine their walk with God. By some he was called a "pulpit clown," but thousands flocked to the places he preached. His sermon, "The Spider In The Palace," shows us the majesty and glory of God in this unique and different kind of sermon. Special thanks to Henry Knox for preaching this sermon.  Henry Knox Jr. was born and raised in a small inner-city area called Oak Cliff, in Dallas Texas. Although Henry was brought up in the church, he did not come to true repentance and saving faith until 2007. After being compelled into the faith, and with a deep desire to share the gospel with others in the community from which he was raised, he founded a ministry in 2013 named Christ Infinite Vision.  By God’s providence he currently serves as an Elder at Ecclesia Church of Dallas where their local church mission has been to evangelize neglected communities while providing God centered teaching, discipleship, and education. Henry continues to strongly believe the eternal truth that salvation is in Jesus Christ alone, and the preaching of the Gospel is the only message unto salvation. Henry is husband to a loving wife Nicole, and the father of three beautiful children.
