In Borghardt’s sermon Jesus was mentioned 30 times in various forms such as Lamb, Christ, Jesus, and Lord.
The verbs were; makes us holy, slain, lives, died, rose, came, reigns, makes us alive, and made blessings for us.
The theme of Boghardt’s sermon was very different from John Edward’s. Bogheardt preached about how Christ died and saved us from our sins. He preached that we do not have to worry of the wrath of an angry God as long as we believe that Jesus died and rose to forgive us we will be in heaven with God. Boghardt focuses on loving God; while John Edward’s focuses more on scaring people in to following God. Edward's sermon spoke of how God is angry with us, that God only wishes to condemn us to hell because of how sinful we are.
I agree that Edwards sermon focused more on scaring people into listening to what God commands and where Boghardt's sermon focuses more on God's love for us which is shown in the mercy he shows us.
ReplyDeleteI like the point that you made that in Borghardt's sermon he said we do not have to worry about the wrath of an angry God as long as we believe in Jesus, while Edward's sermon was focused on how angry our God is with us and that he only wants to condemn us because of our sins.
