Summary
This sermon, celebrating the first martyrs, emphasizes God's chosen people and their accountability for iniquities. Citing the prophet Amos and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, it highlights that God reveals His plans through prophets and will judge those who stray. The takeaway is to live in the "bright light of truth" and not be enveloped in darkness, recognizing God's actions and the call to prophecy.
