Prayer And Pentecost

There were 52 binders of sermons with approximately 3,000 sermons, illustrations, and notes. The majority of the binders were unlabeled offering us no idea as to the author’s organizational system. Therefore, each sermon has been listed by title to make the collection more useful to the researcher. Box 2 has many of the entire sermon outline listed. The contents of each binder have been kept together in one or two folders. The binders that were labeled by the author have been labeled accordingly in the finding aid. The arranger has then assigned letters to the remaining binders, indicated by parentheses.

Researchers can use these sermons to study Pentecostal theology, sermon writing, and track changes in preaching throughout cultural and social changes. As a part of the Pentecostal Preaching collection they may be used with other sermon collections to compare and contrast different ways in which minister’s studies the Bible, wrote messages, and interpreted theology.
