There is strong evidence of God’s working power in the hearts of His people. The masses gathered together and were affected by the preaching in the Great Awakening through the chorus of revival preachers. Today we are reading from a sermon by Rev. Samuel Stillman a Baptist preacher born in 1737. there were strong overtones that slavery was against the Kingdom of God. From 1765 Stillman was minister of the Brattle Street Church of Boston, Massachusetts, until his death. John Hancock, although a Unitarian, was one of his admirers and often rented a pew there so that he could hear him. President John Adams and General Henry Knox also came to hear him preach. The Great Awakening brought a sensitivity to the Word of God; this becomes the driven desire of the people to form a “more perfect union”.
