24 times Christ is mentioned: He is, He took, He was slain, lives, sees, rose, etc.
Edwards sermon was based on negativity. He explained the wrath of God and our condemnation. He used fear to show us how we are sinners, and that we deserve hell and God's punishment. He then briefly explains how God doesn't condemn us and instead show us mercy. Borghardt's sermon does the opposite. He explains how God shows grace and mercy on us. How God sent His one and only son for us so that we could join with Him in paradise. Borghardt's sermon is very positive. He tells us God is pure and is good.
Nick, i like how you described not just the theme of the blog, but you explained why the theme was like that. you used examples. great job!
ReplyDeleteNick-
ReplyDeletei liked your use of the words "condemnation" and "paradise." Because they are such opposites, it helps to show the differences between each of the sermons.
