John Nelson Darby emphasizes that true worship is distinct from preaching and requires a relationship with God through salvation. He explains that worship can only occur in the presence of Christ and through the Holy Spirit, highlighting the importance of being in a state of acceptance and unity with fellow believers. Darby illustrates worship as a heartfelt return to God for His blessings, rooted in the understanding of Christ's sacrifice and the joy of being in communion with the Father. He stresses that worship involves both praise and prayer, and that it is essential for believers to be in harmony to offer genuine worship. Ultimately, worship is portrayed as a joyful expression of love and gratitude towards God, anticipating the fullness of His blessings.

Jonathan Edwards preaches a powerful sermon on the future punishment of the wicked, emphasizing the unavoidable, intolerable, and inescapable nature of God's wrath upon impenitent sinners. Using Ezekiel 22:14 as a foundation, he delves into the dreadful consequences awaiting those who reject God's mercy and despise His authority. Edwards highlights God's undertaking to deal with sinners, ensuring they cannot avoid, deliver themselves from, or bear the punishment that awaits them in hell. He vividly describes the soul's sinking into eternal death, utterly unable to withstand the infinite wrath and power of God, urging impenitent sinners to repent and turn to Christ before it's too late.
