Deathless Sermon


The Deathless Sermon was a sermon given during the decline of Hyper-Calvinism in England. It was preached by Particular Baptist Minister, William Carey on 30 May, 1792 at the Friar Lane Baptist Chapel in Nottingham as an effort to arouse his pastoral contemporaries to intentional evangelistic action.
The message is rooted in the text of Isaiah 54:2-3:
No extant copies of the sermon remain; however church historians almost unanimously recognize its form as having only two points:
  1. expect great things from God, and
  2. attempt great things for God.
