Gavin's theme in this message is "I'm an Evangelical - I hope you (U) are (R) too (2)! He quotes from the Low Church Evangelical Anglican Bishop of Liverpool in England, Bishop Jn Ryle (d. 1900), on the Reformation & associated work of proto-Protestants e.g. Wycliffe; & Protestant Christians: Luther, Cranmer, Latimer, & Ridley; & 3 big figures of the Great Protestant Missionary Movement's earlier years: Adoniram Judson, Wm Carey, & Henry Martyn. He further refers to another 2 such big figures in Samuel Marsden & Allen Gardiner. His sermon divides into: 1) the sufficiency of the Gospel 2) the catholicity or universality of the Gospel 3) the authority of the Gospel & 4) the defence of the Gospel. Referring to his recent return from London via the Americas e.g. Texas, USA, he preaches the Biblical Gospel of grace alone, faith alone, & Scripture alone; in defence against various heretics, infidels, & heathens, including the world's six big false religions: Romanism, Judaism after Acts 7, Mohammedanism, Sikhism, Buddhism, & Hinduism; the 4 major cults; semi-Romanists; & Montanists in the Charismatics & Pentecostals. Gavin also reveals the substance of a startling conversation he had with a fellow school teacher in 2012, who got involved in spiritual "meditation" groups in which devils opposed to white race based Christian nationalism (Gen. 9 & 10; Ps. 2:10-12; Acts 17:26) appeared & persuaded the man to forsake his support for a white Protestant Christian society in favour of religious universalism & a multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-cultural society. The sermon ends with a prayer thanking God for & upholding the Biblical Gospel of religiously conservative Protestantism. |
