jonathan edwards' first sermon
excerpted from sermon by Tim Keller, "personal prayer" from 2005(2006?).
Jonathan Edwards' first sermon was given when he was 18.
"Christian Happiness"
thesis - Christians should be happy.
Three points.
Why should Christians be happy?
1. Our bad things will turn out for good (romans 8:28)
2. Our good things can never be taken away from us. (the light of His countenance, pardon for sin, assurance of grace. inheritance of eternal life.)
3. The best things are yet to come.

Thank you! I listened to Keller's sermon yesterday but couldn't remember which one it was or the 3 points from Edwards sermon. Thanks again!
