Sermon that can change lives
A sermon in a powerful thing. Jonathan Edwards and Martin Luther King there sermons are very different, but they are both powerful. Edwards talks about hell. King talks about loving your enemies. As humans we can learn a lot from both of these men. We are a stubborn group of people, but they are trying to get us to get out of our own head and learn and change.

People are all different but we all have one thing in common well two things we are all humans and we are all trying to get to the same ending point. We must show love and fix out life to get to the one place we need to be and that is heaven. If u listen to Edwards and king they can help us get
