The Charles Simeon Sermons - CANCELLED
2009 Sermon Series - The Providence of God: A Truth for Today
The 2009 Simeon Sermon Series has been cancelled due to a loss in Dr. R. Kent Hughes's family.
Gratefully, two excellent Bible teachers agreed to fill the chapel pulpit for Dr. Hughes this week. On Monday, we enjoyed the preaching ministry of Doug O'Donnell, senior pastor of New Covenant Church, that meets on the campus of North Central College in Naperville, IL.
On Wednesday, October 28, David Helm, Senior Pastor of Holy Trinity Church in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, will be speaking. David regularly preaches throughout North America and is the author of the 1 & 2 Peter; Jude commentary in the Preaching the Word series. He is also the author of The Genesis Factor with Jon Dennis and The Big Picture Story Bible, all with Crossway Books.

About Charles Simeon
Charles Simeon (1759-1836) served as pastor of Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, England, for 54 years. He was an exacting and compelling Bible expositor whose rich reputation extends to the present day. Simeon was known for believing in and relying upon the power of God's Word preached. In fact, one scholar writes that Simeon was the first person since the Middle Ages who believed that one could actually teach someone how to preach.
Simeon's 21 volume, Horae Homiletica, is a collection of expanded sermon outlines covering all 66 books of the Bible. The series is aimed at modeling and teaching Bible exposition to both the preaching pastor and student of Scripture and, as such, beats in time with this series named in his honor.
Simeon's legacy also lives on in churches throughout the UK and around the world. In England, it is the foundation upon which the University and College Christian Fellowship is built, as well as the Church Missionary Society. In the United States, Charles Simeon is regarded as the father of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship.
