Sermon: This Week we celebrate Aldersgate Sunday. On May 24th, 1738, a broken John Wesley went reluctantly to a small group bible study on Aldersgate Street in London. Wesley wrote in his journal, “In the evening I went very unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, where one was reading Luther’s Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.”
Scripture: Romans 7: 14-25
