CHANGING CONCEPT OF SERMONS IN CHRISTIAN HISTORY
SAVING SINNERS FROM HELL
Jonathan Edward's passionate sermon, Sinners at the Hands of an Angry God is one of the most famous of the hell-fire and brimstone sermons in American history. It grew into today's evangelism.

Billy Graham's crusades were a modern expression of an evangelical style.

THE HOLINESS MOVEMENT
This had roots in the revivals of John Weysley. It was in US in 1840's and 50's.
A major phase began in Vineland, NJ in 1867 as the National Holiness Camp Meeting Association. Focus was on salvation through personal encounter with Holy Spirit, leading to living a Christ-like life.
The movie, The Apostle accurately depicts Holiness groups in the south today.
