SermonIndex is not an attempt by man to build something for God. It began as God gave the burden and only will continue as He is guiding the work being fully trusted. It began by a work of God's Spirit and for His glory: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD Almighty (Zechariah 4:6).
The work and ministry of SermonIndex can be encapsulated in this one word: revival. Concepts such as holiness, purity, christ-likeness, self-denial, and discipleship are hardly the goal of much modern preaching. Thus the main thrust of the speakers and articles on the website encourage us towards a reviving of these missing elements of Christianity.
Leonard Ravenhill discusses about when Jesus weeps over Jerusalem and applies it to the modern day need of the Church. 'The biggest tragedy in the world tonight is a sick church in a dying world, there is no hope for the world unless the Church is revived.' He specifically pleads for the Church of America to get before God in sackcloth and ashes in its present situation.
