1. Christ was referenced 28 times in Reverend Borghardt's sermon.
2. Verbs: makes holy, slain, is lamb, died, rose, reigns, lives, took sin, is holy, make pure, make blessings, slows, grabs
3. Edward's sermon predominately spoke of God's fearful wrath and judgment. In his sermon, he discusses the Law and eternal judgment of God by using petrifying images to provoke fear. Although Christ wasn't mentioned often in his sermon, his words still provide the realism of terror. He wanted people to become part of the faith by acquiring the fearful wrath of God. In Borghardt's sermon, it is the complete opposite. His sermon contains the gospel and grace of God. The sermon was to simply tell us how great God is by giving us his grace. His words are more self- assuring.
Matthew, i like how you described more in depth into what the sermons were about instead of just stating the theme. great job :D
ReplyDeleteI like how you went deeper into the sermon instead of just covering the basics like Lyndsey said, so we got more out of what the two people talked about instead of just their theme
ReplyDeleteI think you got the main point of both sermons. You described them very well and were very clear when stating the differences.
ReplyDeleteYour verbs are great. You have many that I did not come in contact with when listening to the clip.
ReplyDeleteI like your point about Edwards speaking of God's fearful wrath and judgment. It shows Edwards' purpose towards converting people very well. Also your use of the main points of each sermon are key to developing a good comparison
ReplyDeleteThis blog post is great. You are a fantastic writer! I agree with both your themes and main differences throughout the sermon. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMATTHEW: Avoid your generic cut/paste approach to comments. Real insight. Real comments. Real reaction.

The Czar of 118
Pointing out that the images and words and their effect on the people hearing them was quite excellent.
ReplyDeleteYour diction brings really images to mind and makes the words come to life and more applicable. Very good.
