2401. Is The Social Gospel Out Of Date?

Matthew 6:25-34

Sermon

Kent Moorehead

Is the social gospel out of date? That, obviously, is a loaded question. In fact, it is double-barreled. First, it is charged with combustible emotionalism that is liable to explode whenever the trigger-term "social" is used. To the fear-conditioned conservative, "social" smacks of socialism. And what could be more dangerous than communism which, they’ve carefully taught, is nothing but socialism in a hurry? To these people the phrase "social gospel" has become a hate term, a scapegoat slogan into which ...

2402. Preaching Unpopular Truth - 1943

John 18:38

Sermon

Kent Moorehead

In such tense and terrible times as these, every sincere minister of Christ who takes seriously the prophetic function of his vocation, must readily recognize the cogent relevancy of this theme and the importance of dealing with it practically and realistically.

Suppose you hear a strain of music that you have never heard before, but in just a minute you say, "that's Brahms," or "that's Beethoven." How do you know? That's their style, the way they do it. No one else does it quite that way. We had quite a controversy some time ago when somebody gave two wonderful Rembrandts to the art museum in Detroit. So we all went and ooohed and ah-h-d and thought they were ...

2404. Answering Criticism

Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

Illustration

Kent Moorehead

Think of the things that were said about Lincoln by his contemporaries - the calumnies, the caricatures, the unjust criticisms. But consider the accurate estimate of his style today. With what insight he wrote, when he said, "If I were to try to read, must less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to ...
