Jonathan Edwards: A Survey of Church History with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

The sermon theme is the enduring impact of The Great Awakening, particularly its role in empowering the laity in American church life and shaping the entrepreneurial spirit of the nation. Key figures like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield are highlighted, with their influences examined through scripture and their own writings, such as Edwards' "A History of the Work of Redemption." The practical takeaway is that God works through revivals, and this historical phenomenon established a lasting expectation within American evangelicalism for identifying and following prominent preachers through whom God is actively working.
