This volume gathers evangelical preaching on repentance, faith, grace, and the work of the Holy Spirit, pressing hearers to turn from sin and embrace Christ. Its themes emphasize heartfelt conversion over outward religiosity, urgent calls to accept the gospel now, and warnings against self-righteousness. Readers can expect fervent appeals, vivid biblical exposition, and practical exhortation aimed at personal renewal. The opening of the volume presents transcriber’s notes, a title page, and an extensive contents list of sermons keyed to scripture, then launches into preaching. Sermon XXXII (“A Penitent Heart”) defines true repentance as a God-wrought inner change—sorrow for sin, hatred of it, and forsaking it—explains its causes in divine grace, argues its necessity for salvation, and urges immediate turning to Christ with strong warnings and tender encouragements to great sinners and counsel to grateful believers. Sermon XXXIII (“The Gospel Supper”) expounds Luke’s parable of the great banquet, rebukes worldly excuses, traces its fulfillment from Jews to Gentiles, defends field-preaching, and warmly invites the poor and outcast to come to Christ while warning of the peril of refusal. Sermon XXXIV (“The Pharisee and Publican”) begins by exposing natural self-righteousness, contrasts Pharisee and Publican in the temple, critiques boastful prayer and judging others, and cautions against trusting in religious acts like fasting and tithing as grounds of justification.
