Edwards’ sermon talks about the terrors of hell and the punishment that we truly deserve.  He scares you into believing instead of showing the love and mercy of God that we can take comfort in.  Though he does just five times mention Jesus and the comfort we can take in him, you don’t walk away from the sermon feeling saved.  However Rev. Borghardt’s sermon goes on and on about how we are saved through faith because of Jesus’ death on the cross. That because of God’s mercy we can look forward to a life time in Heaven with our Savor.
