— Why he’s one of the greats

A short text, three headings people remember, and a road to Christ.

Thousands of his sermons were printed every week, and 3,500+ are numbered. His secret: a short text, three announced headings people could remember, illustrations used as “windows” to let in light, a road from any text to Christ, and a direct appeal to the unconverted at the end of every sermon.

  • 3,500+Numbered sermons, printed every week
  • 23,654Heard him at the Crystal Palace in 1857
  • 19His age when he was called to New Park Street Chapel
