Project Gutenberg 2018-10-01 Public domain in the USA. 128 Church, J. (John) Church, John Church, John (Preacher) Ruhamah Spiritual Victories Through the Light of Salvation Transcribed from the 1810 Ann Kemmish edition by David Price "Spiritual Victories Through the Light of Salvation" by J. Church is a sermon published in 1810, likely reflecting the early 19th century. As a religious and theological work, it seeks to expound on the principles of salvation through the scriptural lens, particularly emphasizing the story of Gideon from the book of Judges. The sermon illustrates the connection between faith, God's grace, and spiritual victory over sin and trials, highlighting the transformative power of divine intervention. In the sermon, Church vividly recounts the story of Gideon and his army, focusing on their miraculous victory against the Midianites through seemingly weak means—lamps, trumpets, and pitchers. He draws parallels between Gideon's experience and the journey of a believer, suggesting that true strength comes through reliance on God rather than worldly power. The text addresses themes of human depravity, God's mercy, and the necessity of faith in overcoming sin and adversity. The overarching message clings to the notion that spiritual victories are accessible to believers through the light of salvation, urging the faithful to trust in God's promises and act faithfully even amidst challenges.
