Charles Finney emphasizes the vital role of Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity, explaining that a mediator reconciles conflicting parties and is essential when a controversy exists. He outlines the qualifications necessary for a mediator, including understanding the controversy, possessing the confidence of both parties, and being willing to fulfill the conditions for reconciliation. Finney applies these principles to Christ, illustrating how His dual nature as both God and man uniquely qualifies Him to mediate between the offended God and sinful humanity. He urges listeners to accept Christ's mediatorial work and fulfill the conditions of repentance and faith for salvation, highlighting the urgency of making a decision regarding their relationship with God.

Peter Brandon preaches on 'The Cleansing of the Leper,' emphasizing that true transformation comes from being in Christ, who makes us new creations through the Holy Spirit.

Brandon explains that God reconciles us to Himself through Jesus, who bore our sins, and calls us to respond by opening our hearts to Him for communion. He warns against spiritual lukewarmness and encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with Christ, who desires to share in our lives. The sermon concludes with a call to repentance and trust in Jesus for salvation and transformation.

Roy Hession emphasizes the urgency of reconciling with God, using the parables of the king preparing for war and the prodigal son to illustrate the importance of recognizing our lost state and the need for peace with God. He highlights that while we may feel far from God, He is always ready to meet us with compassion and forgiveness, urging us to take the opportunity to seek Him before it's too late. Hession reassures that no matter how far we have strayed, the path back to God is quick and accessible through repentance and faith in Jesus. The sermon calls for self-reflection on our spiritual state and encourages both the lost and the wayward to return to the Father, who is waiting with open arms.

Peter Brandon addresses the question 'Is God Really There?' by exploring the evidence of God's existence through creation and the need for reconciliation with Him. He emphasizes that while many believe in a divine intelligence, understanding God's true nature requires revelation, which is found in the Bible. Brandon explains that sin creates a barrier between humanity and God, but through Jesus Christ, who was both fully God and fully man, reconciliation is possible. He urges listeners to recognize their need for salvation and to accept the transformative power of being made new in Christ. Ultimately, he calls for a personal response to God's invitation for reconciliation.

M'Cheyne underscores the significance of Christ's sinlessness and the profound love demonstrated in His willingness to bear our sins, offering righteousness to all who believe. The sermon calls for a heartfelt response to God's invitation for reconciliation, stressing the urgency and tenderness of the message delivered by ministers.

A.W. Tozer explores the omnipresence of God, emphasizing that God is not limited by space and is present everywhere, close to all creation. He explains that while God is always near, the sense of distance felt by humanity arises from moral dissimilarity due to sin, which alienates us from God. Tozer highlights that true reconciliation between God and man is achieved through Jesus Christ, who embodies both divine and human nature, allowing for a restoration of fellowship. He stresses that the conscious presence of God is what brings joy and fulfillment to believers, contrasting it with the absence of God's manifest presence in hell. Ultimately, Tozer calls for a deeper understanding of God's nearness and the transformative power of His presence in our lives.
