About This Book

A curated selection of sermons collects representative discourses that trace theological themes central to the author's ministry: human dependence on divine grace, the nature and reality of spiritual illumination, conversion and assurance, the terrors of divine judgment, and the consolations of salvation and heaven. Passages move from doctrinal exposition on divine sovereignty, the indwelling Spirit, and election to hortatory appeals urging repentance and steadfastness, including vivid depictions of sin and wrath and meditations on heavenly communion. An editor's introduction and notes supply historical context and textual guidance for readers.
