Robert Wurtz II preaches about the urgent need for Christians to awaken from their spiritual slumber and confess their sins, emphasizing the importance of personal revival before expecting a revival in the Church and nation. He highlights the sensitivity and alertness that comes with spiritual awakening, leading individuals to mourn over their sins, take responsibility for their actions, and seek reconciliation with others. The sermon underscores the path to humility, stressing the necessity of denying oneself, humbling before God, and prioritizing God's glory over personal reputation. It concludes with a call to confess sins, seek healing through prayer and mutual confession, and acknowledge faults before God to invite His presence and experience true revival.

Jonathan Edwards preaches about the process of salvation, emphasizing that before God delivers individuals from sin, they must first have a deep sense of the evil they are being saved from. This includes experiencing distress, helplessness, and a realization of their need for God's mercy. Edwards highlights that God often leads people through a 'wilderness' of distress before bringing them to a place of deliverance and joy. He also discusses how God's manifestations to believers often involve a progression from terror to comfort, as seen in various biblical examples.
