Okay, so who preached the most famous sermon in America, and what was its title? In 1735 the great awakening began. It started in New England in the village of Northampton, Massachusetts under the leadership of Jonathan Edwards. When he was invited to speak in Enfield, Connecticut on July 8, 1741, he faced an indifference audience. The Awakening had made little impact on the town. The title of Edwards sermon? Sinners in the hands of an angry God. As he preached the attitude of the audience moved from indifference to fear for their souls. Some began to cry out What shall I do to be saved? He ended his sermon with a call to come to Christ, and the town of Enfield was never the same. Todays question: What took place in 1825?
