Sermon: Sinners in the Hands of an Awesome God ("Greatest Hits" series)

When Jonathan Edwards kicked off the "Great Awakening" in 18th century America, he was facing a public who had grown bored with their faith or casual in their experience of God. He sought to wake them up from their sleep by raising their awareness of their sinful state. Today, we have a public bored with Christianity, but their boredom comes at the hands of forgetting the awesome power of God's grace. They see the lights and ceremonies created by man and forget that the wonders they seek do not come from fog machines, stage lights, ornate masses and services, or from one-off spiritual conferences... it comes from the grace and love of Christ.
