Comparing Religious Speeches

Demonstrative rhetoric is all about values, with a specific focus on the present, dealing with what is right and wrong, good or bad. It creates a good lens to focus on issues. As Aristotle wanted, political speech is deliberative, it deals with choices, the future, and telling the audience which choice in the future is to their advantage.

People need to have a certain type of voice to make a speech effective. To make a speech effective it depends on your tone of voice and how you deliver your speech. If you deliver your speech effectively, it could be memorable and even make a great impact on the world. An example of a speaker that made a great impact on the world is, Martin Luther King Jr, who delivered the famous I Have a Dream speech. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist and he wanted to make a change in America. King wanted American’s to treat each other equally and not have discrimination against people depending on what race they were. King’s speech is effective because of the tone and rate he uses, his reasonable arguments, and his use of repetition

It is the most famous sermon is American Literature. It is representative of the Great Awakening. It was a revival sermon, the goal was to gain conversions to Christ, the sermon used detailed imagery as rhetoric, it was Calvinistic. But, it didn’t focus on the role of the local church. It assumed the conventional preaching had not produced conversions. It also assumed that the listeners were goats in sheep’s clothing.

One can hear a sermon any day of the week, because there are many preachers out there in the world. Many sermons are retold Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments that tell how our ancestors lived, and teach us life applications of how to glorify God while we are living our lives. For over a thousand years God’s word has been preached by many faithful men who follow Him. However, there were some of those faithful men who used God’s Word and their own improvisation to convict sinners and to put their trust in God. Those times resulted in an era called the Great Awakening of the 18th century and they also put an end to the segregation era of the 20th century. Two of the faithful men during those eras were

The point of any speech is to connect with an audience (and persuade them) on a far deeper level than any written form can provide. That connection may be through

Response: “Alan Potter (2014) wrote that John MacArthur warned us that if we lose the biblical foundation while preaching this will lead to the decline of preaching which will contribute to the weakness and worldliness of the church, so for a church to be spiritual healthy, preaching should return to its proper biblical foundation (https://www.linkedin.com). Paul told Timothy that by preaching the Scripture, man and women could be wise for salvation (2 Tim. 3:15 NKJV). They learn the way of salvation through the Bible which the Holy Spirit taught the preacher to use, they should not use their own words dictated by man’s wisdom (1 Corinth. 2: 13

The speeches delivered by Jonathan Edwards, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," and Patrick Henry, "Speech to the Virginia Convention," differ in many respects. The speeches had different audiences, were set in different places, and had completely different subjects. Yet these speeches, delivered thirty-four years apart, had similarities. They both used logic, classical images, and restatement, but they varied in the use of emotion and Biblical references. Depending on the topic,and audience,each speaker used these techniques to add to his speech and make it more effective.

Using Stanley’s suggested approach to the sermon, the speaker should be able to apply his or her material to the audience in a way that not only keeps them engaged, but also equips them to implement a change in their behavior. Stanley accomplishes this with maximum efficiency by limiting himself to only one theme per sermon. This, he argues, ensures that the audience can fully understand and internalize the speaker’s message. Once the single point has been determined, it is then essential to build the rest of the talk around that one point, framing the entire persuasion in a way that the audience will easily remember (Stanley,

“We don't need to pimp the church for political purposes,” said Frazier. “If you want to pass gun laws, do that, but don't use the church.”

The 2016 Election and terrorism are just a few of the modern trials and tribulations that backdrop today’s sermons. These events widely differ from the circumstances of earlier sermons. In the 1700s, the Great Awakening occurred. It was a time of religious revival in colonial America, and pastors and preachers worked to persuade the congregate to convert. Thus, the sermons utilized skillful rhetorical tactics. Two famous sermons to arise from this period were “Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards and “A Model of Christian Charity” by John Winthrop. Compared to Edwards’s intense conviction in “Sinner in the Hands of An Angry God,” Winthrop crafts the more effective sermon through his positive diction, the inclusive repetition

On March 31, 2013 I was 11 years old. It was a Sunday, but it was also Easter Sunday that year. My family went to church like we always do every Sunday, but little did I know what was in store for me that day. Our preacher at the time, Brother Doug Carter Jr was preaching a sermon about Christ, being born again, and how we needed to born again (saved) in order to get to Heaven. Well, while he was talking about that, I got to thinking about it all during the rest of the sermon. So, while they were singing I decided that I wanted to know that I was going to Heaven when I died. With that mindset I went to the altar and prayed my little heart out. My family and my church family came with me. I prayed and prayed and asked the Lord to save me, and

In today’s age, the use of persuasive rhetoric is everywhere. The most recognized use of rhetoric today is through political propaganda. Politics are confusing to many people and disliked by many more. The reason for this is because politics are often misleading. “Political speaking urges us either to do or not do something: one of these two courses is always taken by private counselors, as well as by men who address
