Grains of Wheat

  Podcast: The Church at Ellerslie Sermons   Title: Grains of Wheat Sub-title: a study in the historic attitude of Christian self-sacrifice   Date: July 12, 2020   Series: The Spiritual Biography of a Nation Part: #8   Description: America prior to the 16th century was dark and savage — a land of lawlessness, fear, and extreme violence. Then the light of the Gospel came to this North American territory — men gave up everything to come here and share the hope of Jesus Christ with a depraved people. Now five hundred years later the people of this same territory are actively seeking to snuff out the light of Truth and return to that ancient darkness that once ruled this land — reverting back to lawlessness, fear, and violence. It was the willingness of Christians to sacrifice everything, including their very lives, that originally turned this American territory from death towards life — could it be that, to turn this country back from its errant ways, the same willingness amongst the Christians to forsake everything is once again required?
