Christ was mentioned 34 times in Rev. Borghardt's sermon.
Verbs used: died, is lamb, lives, rose, is holy, wants you, came, holds you, calling you, reigns
The theme of Edward's sermon was very different from the theme of Rev. Borghardt's. Edward's sermon had a harsh theme and was meant to inflict fear upon people. He talked about God's wrath and anger, and how He could strike down on us anytime. In contrast, Reverand Borghardt's sermon talked about how great Jesus is. He focused on God's grace, how Christ saves us through his death and through our Baptism. Borghardt's sermon was more joyful and praising towards God. Both of these sermons were meant to bring people to the faith, but was done so in two opposing ways.
i like how you use words like wrath, anger harsh. it makes it seem like Edwards' is a lot more law related
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the sentence at the end with the similarity. It made me realize how both guys had the same purpose, they just got their point across very differently.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you included their central goal: bringing people to faith, both did so in their own different approach.
ReplyDeleteNice job showing that while both messages bring people to faith, Borghardt's was more effective because of its preaching of the Gospel.
