Revived Thoughts

Andrew Murray lived in Europe and South Africa during the 1800s. Famous for his ministry and revival in South Africa, and his work with the Dutch, he left a powerful mark on the Earth. His devotional on prayer is still widely read to this day.

His sermon, "The Power Of Persevering Prayer," convicts us to go to God in prayer repeatedly and regularly. He asks us not to give in but to choose and pursue God like the widow at the door of the judge.

Special thanks to Drew Temple for reading this sermon. Drew Temple is a youth group leader at Mosaic of Winchester in Winchester, Virginia. He is also a blogger and podcaster at Courageous Theology.

Richard Baxter lived through the 17th century and is a man who is hard to describe in any one word. He fashioned himself a peacemaker but got into more conflicts than most preachers on our show. After the brutal English Civil War he would be persecuted for his faith but he never caved in his desire to preach Jesus Christ.

His sermon, "Why Self Denial Is Necessary For Salvation," challenges us to give up ourselves in pursuit of God. Too many try to have God and not give anything of themselves up but Baxter would argue that this is something that is impossible to do.

Special thanks to Vincent Silva for reading this sermon. I'm a native from southern NM, and now lives with his wife of almost 37 years and 5 children in Boise, Idaho. I'm retired from the NM public schools and also a retired from the Air Force. I enjoy playing guitar, have a passion for God's word, and witness's  every chance I get.

Jonathan Edwards is one of the most famous preachers in American history and he was famous for the Great Awakening and revivals in America. Edwards life was not easy and he had a lot of conflicts with his church.

His sermon, "Pardon for the Greatest Sinners," reminds us that God's forgiveness is for everyone. This is such a simple concept but it is something that we as believers often need to be reminded of.

John Wycliffe, "the Morning Star of the Reformation," lived in the 1300s. He helped translate the Bible out of Latin. He wanted to see reforms happen in the church. And this was all rooted in his experience with the black plague.

His sermon, "The Spiritual Battle," takes us back to what it is that causes us to sin. Our flesh not being properly disciplined and our lack of focus on the next life. That the physical is not what causes us problems, but the spiritual.

Special thanks to Jonathan Thiede. He is the host of the Book-It podcast, a great show that helps people learn more about books that they read, and a regular contributor to Revived Thoughts.

Richard Sibbes was a largely influential minister in the early 1600s. He is known for his "affectionate theology" and his elegant words on one's relationship with Christ. He was a member of the church of England but would get in trouble at times for his ties to the puritans.

His sermon, "I Am My Beloved, And My Beloved Is Mine," takes Song Of Solomon allegorically and puts Christ in the place of Solomon and the woman as the church. He then uses this relationship to describe our current relationship with Christ as we wait for Christ to come back.

Special thanks to Lee Jones for reading this sermon. Lee Jones is an Ohio-based self professed theology nerd and podcaster who works in the nursing home industry. He is a churchman who serves his congregation as a volunteer sound guy, and co-hosts Guys With Bibles, a BAR Network podcast that seeks to study scripture, discuss doctrine, and glorify God.

Hudson Taylor is one of the most famous missionaries that have ever lived. He went to China with the China Inland Mission and their work there changed the world. At the Shanghai conference on missions in 1890, Hudson Taylor preaches this sermon to encourage the missionaries to reach every part of China.

His sermon, “Compassion On The Multitude,”goes through the second time Christ fed the multitude. He reminds us of how often we forget the times in the past Christ has done a miracle and how essential it is we surrender everything we have to Christ.

Special thanks to Dr. Dodds for reading this sermon for us. Dr. Dodds is a professor at Calvary University and Seminary. He is also an elder at Shawnee Bible Church.

Jean Gerson lived in France during the late 1300’s and early 1400s. He is most famous for his role at the Council of Constance and ending the Great Schism. He was a man who desperately wanted to see reforms go through in the Catholic Church and who also wanted to help average people grow closer to God.

His sermon, “Walk While You Have The Light,” was preached in 1415 during a pivotal moment at the Council of Constance. He reminds us that though we may not always have opportunities to do things for Christ, we should do good works for God now as we still can.

Special thanks to Eric Clausen for helping select and narrate this sermon. Eric Clausen is a Lutheran pastor in Orange County California. He graduated from Concordia Seminary St. Louis with Masters Degrees in Theology and Church History. He hosts his own podcast called “The Faithful Forebearers” which tells the stories of Christian men and women throughout history, including people such as Hildegard of Bingen, Jan Hus, and Jean Gerson.

Theodore Cuyler was the pastor of the biggest Presbyterian church in New York City. He knew or met almost every person of importance that came through the United States of America in the 1800s. And yet his story is almost completely forgotten.

His sermon, "The Value Of Human Life," is one that is both timeless and remarkably poignant in our era. In a time when people often struggle with purpose and motivation, Cuyler reminds us of how precious the gift of life is.

Special thanks to Matt is the husband of one wife, the father of 4 kids, and a former Marine who works in IT supporting the Air Force who also moonlights as an amateur voice over artist. He came to saving faith in Christ in 2010, and since then has had a passion for defending the faith, discipling others, and participating in the Kingdom work that God has called him to .

Christmas Evans was born in Wales in the mid-1700s. He went from unable to read and write to a powerful preacher who preaches in a very unique and imaginative style. He would end up being one of the most famous preacher in Welsh history.This sermon was delivered in the mid 1930s and covered the subject "The Fear Of God." Too often we fear men or the opinions of man and do not properly fear and understand the Creator it is that we serve.

This sermon, "The Triumph of Calvary," is a fantastic description of what occurred on the cross using Isaiah 63:1-6.

Special thanks to Ed Backell or helping create this episode of Revived Thoughts. Pastor Ed Backell is a Washington state native, and has taught for 30+ years in churches in Oregon, Washington and Nebraska, currently in Warden, WA. He has been serving Warden Community Church since May, 2010
