- In this session, Dr. Steven J. Lawson introduces us to George Whitefield, a man whose extraordinary evangelistic fervor was marked by remarkable piety and deep theology, and whose unswerving devotion to his God led him to risk all that he had to preach the name of Christ.
Based on the book, The Evangelistic Zeal of George Whitefield: www.ligonier.org/store/the-eva...

I love hearing Dr. Lawson Preach
Why am I crying while watching this
Shawn Durham - Because you are passionate about the gospel and want to see people saved.
@@m1tanker64 I do not know if you will see this. But I just preached my 2nd message this passed Wednesday. When I commented the above 2 years ago I was in a terrible shape mentally & spiritually.
Theology Quotes - praise God. God through some tough and depressing times is the norm. What tremendous blessing and privilege that you get to preach.

It was said that Whitfield would weep as he pleaded for sinners to come to Christ!
Oh that we had preachers like this today 🙏🏻
Paul Washer's "Shocking youth message" that can be found on youtube from 2001 is the closest we have gotten to Whitefield's fire. He is the only preacher I have ever watched cry for my generation to wake up.
Leonard Ravenhill
I cant read about his life without tears of joy and hope.
How many times did I cry listening to this? Too many!
It's my belief that Whitfield was an amazing instrument of God during America's birth. I'll say it, I believe God used our forefathers for their signatures only. These were all men who called upon the name of God but rejected the name of Christ. Like always, here comes God speaking through Whitfield and it just brings in throngs of masses. God's plan will always prevail and I believe in revelation we will see there was a lot going on here spiritually where God had to become involved.
In the movie the gladiator the general says something like. "Rome in its infancy was so fragile even a whisper could knock her over." I believe America in its infancy was so fragile over spiritual warfare, without the intervention of God through the Holy Spirit who dwelt in men, we would of been a more degenerate place during this time. In our infancy we needed the tender care of Jesus. Now that we are grown, we think we know what's best and it's led our country down a road leading to judgement.
Wonderful Spiritual man, George Whitfield.
It's all because of Jesus. The One who loved us and gave His life for us.
Amen, it’s all about Jesus and Him crucified.
“I hold to the Calvinistic scheme not because of John Calvin because Jesus Christ has taught it to me “George Whitfield
YES!
This man is a great preacher by God's grace. Great man of God, whom God has used for the conversion of many.
why can't we see such men today O GOD?
emmanuel masengesho last days the love of many grow cold we must preach the gospel !
because they are like the brother preaching. they stay in the buildings write books and talk about past history
21century we have Paul Washer
Kim JuSung I love Paul washer
Because men’s hearts are like stone and given over to inequity. All the more reason to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I love awesome men & women of God.
May God give us 1000 men like Whitefield.
That's why i love Lawson, he's the most extremist preacher.
Thank you so much pastor Steve Lawson ❤️
Powerful! Where are the preachers today! Will the real preacher of God stand up!
Thank you! This is what is missing in our churches today. All head and no heart seems to be the norm not the kingdom of God!
Just watching this is electrifying in and of itself
God bless George Whitefield( his ministry is such a blessing still!!) The fields were certainly white to harvests with whitefield.
This is inspiring. Definitely buying that book.
Amazing book! Finished it in one day.
Excellent talk. Blessed by it! It's hard to argue with the contention that Whitefield is the greatest preacher since the apostles. One who possibly came close was John Sung, the great Chinese preacher of the 1920s to 1940s, who also preached with great fervour & effect.
Whitefield preached the three R's: Ruined by sin; Redeemed by the Savior; Regenerated by the Spirit.
Thank you Steve Lawson
Awesome Lawson as always.
Praise God.
Thank God for his life 🙏🙌
Praise the Lord! 🙌🙌🙌
George was on fire.
If someone had the evangelistic zeal of a person like George Whitfield today there would be a conference with people that pick apart everything he says and criticized and books written to criticize him . These same people would tell others that he never preached anything to influence theology.
atestring100 - i am so afraid that you are correct.
Whitfield had the very same thing to him too. Even violent physical attacks
Why would someone dislike this?
I would like to thank them; for, they unwittingly confirm Jesus' promise that we will be reviled for being identified with him.
I think the people disliking are Arminians😂. That big sermon on election probably set em’ off.
Great message, as usual from Dr. Lawson. One comment about his earlier You Tube sermon on Whitefield several years ago, with comments disabled. Most likely this has long been corrected, but the word "Gloucester" is most likely easy for the Englishman, but is also easy to pronounce incorrectly by others (including me years ago, when I was corrected). The first syllable is like "claw" and the first "e" is not pronounced: "Glaw-ster."
That's the correct pronunciation for Americans. For many others, it's more like GLOSS-ter.
We English it pronounce Gloss ter
How funny. I thought we had given up on teaching Americans to speak English!I
Wow!
Goodness
Sincere question: what about Bonkee Reinthart and his preaching to millions in Africa?
Love whitefield
Why ,? Mr. Whitfield whenever I hear you preach you preach you must be born again Mr. Whitfield ,leaned in intently and said to the questioner “you must be born again ! “
If say hold tightly to Jesus! He will move you and keep you. The Catholic Church went too far speaking of men. Let Jesus out of everywhere or let me say let Him be all in your life. Jesus alone will change everything about you and the world
We need evangelist as George Whitefield. Today. Tdy we have preachers that preach what people want to hear not what they should hear.
Where can I get a book of the zeal of George Whitefield.
I so greatly admire Lawson's passion and preaching. That said, however, I find somewhat strained or perhaps undermining how he always presses continually Calvinism's predestination. I just don't see predestination the way Calvinists preach it. I say that in light of what Peter wrote: that God predestined us according to His foreknowledge. That said, I greatly admire Rev. Lawson's uncompromising championship for the cross and Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Foreknowledge of what? Of us. It is by grace we are saved, not of works.
I as well find it encouraging to hear about a man who was given to God, but this doesn't mean that he had everything right. If this man taught that repentance and faith are impossible for the sinner, doesn't that sound like its making a work out of it? Romans 10 says that Faith comes from the heart, not something injected by God. It's the simplest thing that our loving God could ask of us. Please, do not remove the very important R that the Bible clearly lays out...Responsibility of the sinner!
Sin is something that a child learns a little later in life.
At birth, sin is completely unknown in the life of a baby.

idk guys, I think he wants us to know more about Whitfield
Whitefield stands alone among evangelists. Basically, there's everyone else, and then, there's Whitfield.. . . there's just nothing else that can be said.
I think Whitefield would turn in his grave if he knew how many times his name was mentioned in this talk.
Aaaaand they're taking his statues down
May God not permit it.
You need Whitefield in your bloodstream?
Over the Top Emphasis on BUYING HIS BOOK damages the integrity of the message.
John Wesley is probably greater but he’s not reformed so is ignored.
John Wesley was a heretic.
@@joshuatheo1419 George Whitefield didn't believe that, and I think he might have known him better than you do, Joshua.
It is not a competition. Praise God for all awesone men of God.
@@joshuatheo1419 I’m concerned about John Wesley because didn’t he believe in entire sanctification this side of the cross? I don’t think that’s true. Definitely not. I need to learn more about him.
Not happy with his view either,
our sanctification will be complete when we’re with Jesus in glory.
ok steve how about you stop talking about whitfield leave the building and go on streets and preach like whitfield did and win souls...
TheEndIsHere FinalWarning one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever read.
1. This was a lecture at the Masters Seminary.
2. He street preaches all the time, he’s always preaching in the church & on the streets.
Are you proud of heart in your street preaching?
In the Lord's time Whitefield had a special ministry preaching, not in the streets, but in parks and fields. We are in different days. We may well preach in the streets but we are not having the same effect as people are not gathering to listen. We need now to pray that there would be another such revival. We cannot manufacture it. But when the time comes then people will hear and they will believe and they will repent.
