The rock sits alongside a busy road in Enfield, Massachusetts, is a testament that the Holy Spirit worked mightily in a visible and undeniable way as Edwards preached the Gospel on July 8, 1741. If you heard this past Sunday sermon at Grace Church, you heard me mention this famous rock.

Christy and I stopped here 2 weeks ago on our vacation to the coast of Maine and took this picture. Just think…the Great Awakening began as pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards preached on this spot, leading to the conversion of tens of thousands throughout the United States and Great Britain to begin worship God! I pray the words of an ancient hymn, which says, “Lord, we long to see your churches filled!”
