Podcast: E. Stanley Jones on ‘The Gift of the Holy Spirit’

August 24, 2009 by Editor

Leading up to the fall season of The MethodistThinker Podcast, which will begin after Labor Day, MethodistThinker.com is highlighting programs from our Spring 2009 season.

This week, a sermon by the late Methodist missionary, Dr. E. Stanley Jones.

E. Stanley Jones

Born in 1884, Eli Stanley Jones responded to the call to missionary service in his early 20s. He spent much of his adult life in India, although as an “evangelist at large” for the Board of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, he preached and taught in many nations.

Dr. Jones influenced millions of people through his bestselling books, including The Christ of the Indian Road (1925) and Abundant Living (1942).

E. Stanley Jones also was the founder of the international Christian Ashram movement, a retreat ministry focused on creating an environment in which people could get away from their normal routines and seek the Lord.

The sermon on this podcast was preached at a U.S. Ashram in August 1960. The sermon title is, “The Gift of the Holy Spirit: The Birthright of All Christians.” (This sermon is included in the 2008 book, Living Upon the Way: Selected Sermons of E. Stanley Jones on Self-Surrender and Conversion.)

    We have sinned and done wrong. All this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not given attention to your truth.

    We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. O LORD, forgive!
