John Owen: The English Reformation and the Puritans with Michael Reeves

Summary

The sermon explores the life and theological journey of John Owen, a prominent Puritan theologian often called the "Calvin of England." Key to his spiritual development was a profound personal struggle with depression and sin, ultimately finding assurance of salvation through a sermon on Matthew 8:26, "why are ye fearful, oh ye of little faith?" The takeaway emphasizes that even amidst personal suffering and national turmoil, Owen's ministry and educational reforms at Oxford were marked by a deep commitment to the gospel and raising up future leaders.
