Sermon Contrast

1. 29, makes, took, died, lives, rose, reigns, and put
2. Edward's sermon is about the Law and makes you feel terrible about yourself. He talks about how God is always angry with us and that he wants to send us to hell but he is merciful. In Rev. Borghardt's sermon, he gives you more Gospel. He talks about how God wants and always does love us and that he is not angry with us because someday we will get to live with him in heaven. Edwards says that we should live in fear of God but Borghardt says that we have nothing to fear because Christ died on the cross.

  1. Jacob Douglas,
    I really like how you mentioned how God is always angry with us and how we deserve nothing but eternal death in hell, but that Christ loves us. And because of that love that he has for us we will one day get to live with him in heaven. By describing both of these opposite themes I think you accomplished the point that was intended.

  2. Jacob, I like how you describe the way each sermon makes us feel. Also, I like that you compared the idea of whether or not we should live in fear of God.

    P.s. Check your grammar :)

  3. I like how you addressed the major flaw in Edward's sermon. Acknowledging the Triune God's merciful and loving nature is crucial to the understanding of the Christian faith, and proves to be more effective than scaring people to come to the faith.
