Obadiah Sedgwick on the Sincere Free Offer of the Gospel

1600-1658

Sedgwick was a member of the Westminster Assembly and wrote two books of Sincere Free Offer sermons:

 

The Riches of God’s Grace Displayed, in the Offer of Salvation to Poor Sinners, 1658

The Fountain Opened and the River of Life Flowing forth for the refreshing of thirsty sinners.  Wherein is set out, Christ’s earnest and gracious invitation of poor sinners to come unto the waters, His complaining expostulation with the ingratitude and folly of those who neglect so great a salvation, His renewed solicitation with all earnestness and the most persuasive arguments to allure thirsty sinners to some to Christ, in several sermons on Isa. 55:1-3, 1657
