HARD HEARTS AND HURTING HEARTS



How many points does your sermon have?  Every sermon should have one—and here I am not speaking of an outline, but an objective. John Newton stated his this way, “My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one.”  While Newton is best known for penning, “Amazing Grace,” he was not only a writer of hymns, but a preacher of the Gospel. We would do well to adopt his aim—for sitting in our congregation will be those hard hearts needing breaking and hurting hearts needing binding.
