What do you think of Christ? Let me assure you, your answer determines your eternal destiny. Choose wisely.

D. L. Moody delivered a sermon February 27th, 1876 entitled "What Think Ye of Christ?". Although it may have been preached nearly 133 years ago, it is still one of the most powerful sermons I have ever heard. I chose to perform it for the A.C.E. Regional, and International Conventions in the spring of 2006, my senior year of high school, in the famous speech competition. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I can't even begin to enumerate how many efficacious results occurred as a result of my my working with this text.

Tonight was prayer meeting here at GBS, and the devotional was over Matthew 11:28-30, which is quoted by Moody in his sermon. It inspired me to deliver this powerful speech once again, and I pulled out the manuscript and delivered it tonight. Thanks to the tremendous help of my good friend, Nathan Gumbiner, I was able to record the sermon. I have attached a link to the 7 min. file below. Special thanks to Gumby for all of his hard work! What I thought would be a 15 min. recording session, turned into nearly 2 hour recording and post-editing marathon. Thanks again, Gumby, you're the best!

Let me clearly state my purpose in posting this speech. It is to draw people closer to Christ. If you are a Christian, may it strengthen your faith, inspire within you a greater awe at what Christ has done. If you are not a Christian, may it show you the true character of a man named Jesus Christ, and may what He has done for you, lead you to love Him, as I love Him.
