David Brainerd, Missions, and the Puritan Hope

Adoniram Judson and the Birth of Baptist Missions

Having studied the theological convictions that drove the first American missionaries to the far corners of the globe with the gospel, we turn now to Adoniram Judson and his mission to the pagan people of Burma.

David Brainerd, Missions, and the Puritan Hope

Having studied Edwards for two weeks, we move now to one of his friends — the young missionary, David Brainerd — and to the decline of the missionary spirit in the 1800s.

The Theology of Jonathan Edwards

This week, we study a few major points of Jonathan Edwards' theology: His understanding of the "religious affections", his explanation of God's goal in creating the world, and his big God theology.

One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10–18 Main Idea: The crucifixion of Christ and baptism in the name of Christ serve the church’s unity. Application Questions: 1. As part of your personal devotions or in your discipleship group, meditate on and discuss what the cross of Christ accomplished. Use the table in the sermon notes to find a list of those accomplishments. 2. If we are truly united with other believers, in what ways are you acting in accord with that reality, or not? 3. What does your baptism signify?  4. In what ways are you tempted to rebuild the old life of sin and enslavement to the Law that was torn down by the blood of Jesus's cross?

Edwards and Awakening

While the Spirit of God moved through Whitefield in England, he was moving powerfully through Jonathan Edwards to revive the church in New England as well. This week, we study the life of Edwards and the impact of the Great Awakening for the church in the 1700s and today.
