Revived Thoughts

John Knox was central to bringing the Reformation to Scotland. He also helped lead to the development of the Presbyterian church. And he was personally well acquainted with John Calvin. Despite a life filled with conflict and persecution, his legacy lives on. In the sermon he does an exegesis on Isaiah 26:13-16 that we are calling, "The Chastisement Of Jerusalem," and discusses the importance of remembering God’s promises through His prophets. This is a part one sermon and there will be a part two, the follow-up to this sermon on the Revived Thoughts program at a later date.Special thanks to Douglas Bond for reading this episode of Revived Thoughts.

Back in the 1300's, during the middle of the black plague outbreak in Strasburg, a monk named Johann Tauler preached. He visited the sick, continued to give sermons, and despite seeing a horrific outbreak of plague that would re-shape Europe and church culture forever, he stood strong in loving his neighbor. In this sermon, "He Makes The Deaf To Hear," Johann Tauler talks about how we are all unable to hear and speak until the miracle of Christ allows us to. Our ears are blocked and unable to live or hear God's eternal Word without the power of Christ. Special thanks to Jonathan Thiede the sermon reader for this episode.
