Revived Thoughts

Pope Gregory The Great was called "one of the last church fathers." He lived in Rome after the fall of the Roman Empire and was also responsible for launching a giant missionary movement into England that eventually led to its Christianization. This sermon, "The Mystery Of The Resurrection," is a sermon he gave without prepared notes. He opened it up as an attempt to catch the excitement and interest of his listeners and to impress on them the importance of the resurrection. Special thanks to Jonathan Thiede for preaching this sermon. Also, special thanks to Ben Yost for helping edit this sermon.

William Muir died a young man, almost completely obscure and never known. But his church loved him and collected his works. There's only one sermon that he ever preached as an ordained minister. This is that sermon come back to life. This sermon, "A Minister's Duties," comes from a man who was ill and never knew if he'd even get to fulfill his duties. But he knew, from the bottom of his heart, what it was he felt called to do for God's Kingdom. This sermon should encourage all who spend time in ministry and even those who do not.

John A. Broadus became a Christian in his teenage years after being challenged at a revival to take the Word seriously. Although he never went to school personally, he became a teacher and would eventually become an influential professor and president at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. This sermon, "Lessons For The Tempted," shows off his simple way of teaching the truth to those who would listen. He viewed temptation through the lens of James 1, not as a thing to carry as just a burden in this life, but as a way for Christ to make stronger believers out of us.

He currently owns and operates soundinworship.com, a website designed to point Christians to great and solid worship music.

Anthony Burges was persecuted during the English Civil War. He was also an academic whose thoughts on justification would be wide read. When asked to submit himself to the Church of England, he refused and was pushed out of his post. This sermon has that "Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God," by Jonathan Edwards or Charles Spurgeons "Compel Them To Come In." It intensely reminds us that the end of our life will come and the way that we lived during this time will be judged on that day. Special thanks to Dave Seip for reading this sermon.

David Livingstone was a doctor who famously became the first European to visit and discover many locations inside of Africa. He also spread and taught the Gospel while fighting against the slave trade everywhere he went. The sermon is actually technically a lecture. But in it he gives the details of his actions in Africa. He explains the difficulties of missionary work in places where the Gospel has never been, the issues of the slave trade, the places he's visited, and God's sovereign hand across the events there.

John Winthrop left Europe and sailed across the ocean to become one of the first governors of Massachusetts. Before the group of Puritans left for the New World this was the final message they heard. And in it was much of the hope for what America could become. The sermon is actually titled, "The Model Of Christian Charity," but is famous for the line, "City on a Hill." This line would go on to become popular in political discussions of the United States of America. But in this sermon, it meant so much more than that.
