Summary:

"Plain Parochial Sermons, preached in the Parish Church of Bolton-le-Moors" by the Rev. James Slade, M.A. is a collection of Christian sermons written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on delivering spiritual guidance and moral teachings based on biblical scripture, aiming to edify the congregation of Bolton-le-Moors and beyond. Through these discourses, Slade emphasizes the importance of faith, moral integrity, and a personal relationship with God. At the start of the volume, the author offers a heartfelt introduction to his collected sermons, expressing gratitude for the encouragement he received to publish them and acknowledging his initial hesitance regarding their impact outside the pulpit. He sets the tone with an exploration of the need for spiritual awakening, using scriptural references to illustrate the human condition marked by sin and the transformative power of Christ's teachings. The opening chapter invites believers to awaken from spiritual slumber and recognize their need for divine illumination, laying a foundational message that resonates throughout the sermons.

Contents:

Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead

The unsearchable riches of Christ

The destruction of the flood

The preservation from the flood

Do this great wickedness and sin against God

On the journey to Emmaus

If they hear not Moses and the prophets

Perfect love casteth out fear

Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God

Thou art the man

The way of the Lord equal

The new man

The wedding garment

Walk worthy of the Lord, be fruitful and increasing

The word of the Lord precious

Distinctions to be made on the day of judgment

God made man upright; man makes himself miserable

The knowledge of God revealed to them that fear him

Resist the beginnings of evil temptation

The love of Christ for those who do the will of God

On seeking out the works of the Lord and praising him

Diligence and perseverance in the Christian race.
