Sermon of the Week

This is a biography in sermonic form of the life of Adoniram Judson given by John Piper. Judson was the first American foreign missionary. He went to Burma which was then a very closed and dangerous place (even more so than today). If you want a picture of what true, radical Christianity looks like in practice, Judson is a great place to look. Suffering, pain, failure, and ultimately joy was his lot, and he experienced all of them to their fullest. Just to give you an idea, Judson lost two wives, several children, and he labored eight years before he ever saw a convert to Christianity. If you are interested in his life, a very readable biography is To the Golden Shore by Courtney Anderson. By the way, all sermons that I post here can be listened to or downloaded for free.
