Notes
Transcript
The First Great Awakening (1730s–1740s)
This revival swept through Britain and the American colonies, led by figures like Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and John Wesley. It emphasized personal salvation, deep repentance, and the sovereignty of God in salvation. Churches grew dramatically, and new denominations emerged.
The Second Great Awakening (1790s–1840s)
Centered in the United States, this revival spurred massive evangelistic efforts, camp meetings, and social reforms. Leaders like Charles Finney emphasized personal choice in salvation and the importance of living a holy life. It birthed movements for abolition, temperance, and women's suffrage.

Preaching
What is preaching? Logic on fire! Eloquent reason!

Joel 2:28–32 “28 After this I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions. 29 I will even pour out my Spirit on the male and female slaves in those days. 30 I will display wonders in the heavens and on the earth: blood, fire, and columns of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. 32 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for there will be an escape for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, as the Lord promised, among the survivors the Lord calls.”
Psalm 16:8–11 “8 I always let the Lord guide me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my whole being rejoices; my body also rests securely. 10 For you will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful one to see decay. 11 You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.”
Psalm 110:1 “1 This is the declaration of the Lord to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.””
2 Samuel 7:12–13 “12 When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.”
2 Samuel 22:6 “6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.”
Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life.

Our people do not so much have their heads stored as to have their hearts touched, and they stand in the greatest need of that sort of preaching which has the tendency to do this.
Jonathan Edwards (American Evangelical Preacher); Joel Beeke; Mark Jones
Zechariah 12:10 “10 “Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at me whom they pierced. They will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for him as one weeps for a firstborn.”
