Sinopse do Episódio


This document is a sermon delivered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1830 by Robert Young, advocating for the Wesleyan Mission Fund. Young argues that idolatry, a practice prevalent in many parts of the world, is characterized by polytheism, sensuality, and costly sacrifices. He asserts that the Lord will famish all the gods of the earth, ultimately leading to the overthrow of idolatry and the worship of the true God by all peoples. The sermon also calls for missionary action, emphasizing the necessity of spreading the gospel and rescuing those trapped in darkness. The author argues that missionary efforts, as divinely ordained, are bound to succeed, leading to the ultimate triumph of Christianity.
