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.
Erlo Stegen speaks of the need for the work of the cross in the life of the believer before we can experience pentecost. He speaks of the true fruit of what a crucified life bears witness of. There are two classes of people, those that are crucified to their wills and lusts or those that are enemies of this cross. Many who profess to be Christians have not crucified their wills and accepted the way of God fully.
