Understanding the Change in Church Messages

If God is perfect and unchangeable throughout all generations, then why does the content of the church’s message change from one generation to the next? Consider this, that “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards, which was the catalyst for the first great awakening, and is considered by many to be the greatest sermon in the English language, would probably be rejected by many of today’s churches as being too judgmental and legalistic.

We should also consider the warning by Dietrich Bonhoeffer of cheap grace which is now so prevalent in the sermons of today’s churches. If we would revisit the messages of the churches from times past, then it might be possible to experience the same blessings in our midst that they once experienced.

This book has been written for Christians who feel stagnant in their Christian experience and desire to take the next step in their relationship with God.
