About this sermon

In this message we focus on several insights about the example of the Christian. We consider the example of Dr. John Geddie for a moment. He too, was a tremendous Christian. He went to Aneityum, an island about 1000 miles east of Australia in 1848, and worked there for God for twenty-four years. On the tablet erected to his memory these words were inscribed: When he landed, in 1848, there were no Christians. When he left, in 1872, there were no heathen. His example had a powerful influence upon the entire island for good. By the grace of God, may we leave that kind of legacy after our deaths. This message was preached on Sunday night, November 22, 2020 at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
