George Whitefield is often called, "the forgotten Founding Father." His impact on the American colonies in the 18th century was incalculable, as he traveled up and down the coast, preaching to tens of thousands of people. Our guest preacher for today, Rev. Dr. Rob Weingartner, is the Executive Director of the Outreach Foundation, which works globally to train leaders, start new congregations, and support ministries. Since Whitefield was a missionary in his day, this mission program is a fitting partner on this day, Sept. 29, 2019, the 249th anniversary of Whitefield's death. Find out more about the kingdom of God in this sermon series, "Thy Kingdom Come". Inspired by Dallas Willard's book, "The Divine Conspiracy."

This is from the podcast, Anchored in Christ, coming to you from Old South Presbyterian Church in Newburyport, MA.
Rev. Dr. Sara Singleton is the pastor at Old South Presbyterian Church, interviewed by Deborah Owen.
Old South was founded in 1756 as a home base for itinerant power preacher, George Whitefield (who preached to as many as 25,000 people on Boston Common). But it's not a museum; it's a living church with vibrant membership, as you'll discover when you listen to these sermons.
