Designed for young pastors, it offers "sermon skeletons"—chapter-by-chapter studies focusing on key verses, not verse-by-verse exegesis. Simeon’s goal was practical sermon composition, emphasizing three criteria: humbling the sinner, exalting the Savior, and promoting holiness. He avoided theological systems, identifying as a “Biblical Christian” and letting Scripture speak for itself. The work, spanning the entire Bible, also includes an improved version of John Claude’s Essay on the Composition of a Sermon in its final volume. Praised by figures like Charles Spurgeon, who called it a “valley of dry bones” that could come alive through prophetic preaching, Horae Homileticae remains a resource for evangelical sermon preparation, reflecting Simeon’s commitment to scriptural fidelity and pastoral mentorship. Charles Simeon was born in 1759. As a young man, he attended Eton, England’s fabled boarding school. Eton was founded in 1440 and had a rich history. While there, Simeon was quite good at sports. He enjoyed horseback riding, and he was prepared to go to King’s College in Cambridge. Up to this point in his life, Simeon showed practically no interest in religion. But, as a student at King’s College, he needed to take communion, and this prompted him to look into one of the Christian societies there at Cambridge, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK). That book and others led to Simeon’s conversion on Easter Day, April 4, 1779. At the time, there was not much of a gospel or evangelical witness at Cambridge, in fact, there was not much of a spiritual life at all. But, Simeon started preaching. Even as a student at Cambridge he preached at St. Edward’s Church— that church that had a prominent place in the Reformation at Cambridge. Then he took a pastoral charge at Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge. He was there from 1782 up until his death in 1836. Simeon died in the city he spent his life’s work. Charles Simeon, the Anglican minister, died in Cambridge on November 13, 1836. ▶️SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny ▶️After subscribing, click on NOTIFICATION BELL to be notified of new uploads. ▶️SUPPORT CHANNEL: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=RB72ANM8DJL2S&lc=US&item_name=stack45ny¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted ▶️RUMBLE https://rumble.com/c/c-278901 ▶️LBRY: https://odysee.com/@RichMoore ▶️My WordPress blog: https://sermonsandsongsdotorg.com/ ▶️Telegram: https://t.me/ChristianSermonsAndAudioBooks
