Evangelistic

 
Note: Most of the other sermons, especially Christmas & Easter ones, are also evangelistic in the broader sense of containing the basic gospel message of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The ones below, however, have as their primary thrust an appeal to unconverted sinners to repent and place their trust in Christ for the forgiveness of sin.
Death;
OneWay;
Matthew_1:21 - "What's in a Name?"
Luke_18:9-14 - Are You a Saved Sinner, or a Lost Saint?
1_Corinthians_15:1-8 - "What is the Gospel?"
Galatians2:20;
Ecclesiastes - this is an external link to Phil Campbell's excellent series of Ecclesiastes talks.
