- Description:
- John S. Hammett was Professor of Christian Theology. Hammett begins his sermon with the story of the first meeting of the Baptist Missionary Society where William Carey was commissioned as the first Baptist missionary, and he states the theme of his message which is the duty of the church to “hold the rope” for the ones they send out (00:00-02:57). Hammett grounds his sermon in the book of Philippians, and he shares his own personal experience as a missionary in Brazil. His first point is support for missionaries must come with prayer, and he says that churches should pray for God’s blessing upon them as they are facing difficulties on the field (02:58-17:53). Hammett’s second point is support for missionaries must come with sending out more workers (17:54-22:35). His final point is support for missionaries must come with giving financial support (22:36-27:05). Hammett concludes his sermon by urging the students to give of their selves and their wealth to missions and be consumed by God’s passion for the nations in prayer (27:06-30:28).
