An A+ Sermon

1. Reverend Borghardt used Christ 28 times. The verbs and verb phrases he used with Christ as the subject were: makes Holy, sets apart, took on sin and death, stain, lives again, died, rose and reigns, slain, put on our flesh and blood, makes us alive, puts his name, gives us songs, gives, came, make the blessings more, feels your pain, calling you home, on the face of God, died, lived, reigns for you.

2. The themes of Borghardt's and Edward's sermon differed most greatly on how the path to Salvation was portrayed. In Edwards gloomy sermon he used scare tactics and the horror of Hell to teach his listeners that they had to do work to obtain Salvation without emphasizing that Christ has done all the work already. On the contrary, Borghardt used Christ very effectively, correctly portraying the fact that Jesus is the answer to all of our troubles in life, and we do not have to do anything but accept the Salvation he earned for us. Borghardt had Christ as his theme.
