Summary "A Sermon preached at St. George's Church, Bolton, on Sunday, 7th January, 1838" by the Rev. J. Slade is a religious sermon delivered in the early 19th century. This reflective and spiritual text deals with themes of life, death, and the Christian faith, particularly focusing on living and dying unto the Lord. The sermon was occasioned by the death of Rev. William Thistlethwaite and aims to comfort the congregation while emphasizing the essence of a believer's relationship with God. In this sermon, Rev. Slade explores the profound implications of living a life dedicated to Christ, asserting that true Christians cannot live for themselves but must instead live for the glory of God. He discusses the nature of death as a transition to a greater reality, one that is filled with hope and eternal promise for believers. Slade draws upon personal anecdotes about the deceased pastor to illustrate a life well-lived in faith. He encourages his listeners to reflect on their spiritual journey, acknowledging the influence of Thistlethwaite's ministry over the years while urging them to carry forward the commitment to live a life devoted to Christ, both in life and death. The sermon serves as both a tribute to Thistlethwaite and a call to the congregation to embrace their faith earnestly. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
