Sermon Diagnostic

1)  26 verbs
  • makes holy
  • slain (3 times)
  • is lamb
  • died (4 times)
  • lives (2 times)
  • rose (2 times)
  • reins (3 times)
  • makes us alive
  • is there
  • smiles (2 times)
2) There is a major difference between Rev. Borghardt's sermon and  Edward's sermon. Rev. Borghardt's sermon focuses on Jesus loving and saving us. He mainly talks about how much God does for us, and how Jesus died and rose again for us out of his love for us. His sermon includes Jesus, which is the most important part of a sermon, according to Pastor Wilkens. Edward, on the other hand, mainly discusses how sinful we are and how we all deserve hell and damnation. He says we should fear God, and he rarely mentions Jesus and everything he does for us.

    I like the contrast between Borghardt focusing on Jesus' love for us, and Edwards focusing on God's punishment of hell and damnation. It really brings out the point being made.

    I like the contrast you use for the two sermons. Edwards' does focus on the damanation for the unbelievers. Borghardt's fouces on the love of God.
