Charles Finney: A Survey of Church History with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

The sermon explores Charles Finney's emphasis on excitement and new methods to keep the church vital, referencing his postmillennialist beliefs and Isaiah 11:9. The practical takeaway is that while Finney believed exciting methods were necessary until the Millennium, the church has overextended this pursuit, potentially leading to a breakdown rather than establishment, as evidenced by his controversial "new measures" like allowing women to preach.
