Revivalist and preacher George Whitefield was born on December 16,
1714, in Gloucester, England. The youngest of seven children, he
was only two when his father died. He eventually finished grammar
school and enrolled at Oxford at the age of 17. Those university
years became the turning point of his life. Drawn into a group
called the "Holy Club," he met John and Charles Wesley and was
converted to Christ in 1735. Whitefield was ordained in 1736 when
he completed his Oxford degree.
The first of his many trips to America was made in 1738, when he
spent a short time in Georgia in the mission post vacated by John
Wesley. Returning to England, Whitefield found that his connection
with the Wesleys and the evangelical character of his preaching had
erased his popularity with Church of England clerics. Excluded from
their pulpits, Whitefield began a series of open-air meetings in
Bristol, moving on to exhort tens of thousands of people in
London's Moorfields and Kennington Common. He persuaded John Wesley
to carry on the work, and he returned to America, where he was an
influential figure in the Great Awakening.
Whitefield was an astounding preacher from the beginning. Though
slender of build, he stormed in the pulpit as if he were a giant.
It was said that "his voice startled England like a trumpet blast."
His messages were gospel-focused, simple and clear, bold,
descriptive, earnest, and filled with pathos and emotion. Some
calculate that he preached more than 18,000 sermons--and fewer than
ninety have survived in any form. Among those, most notable are
"The Seed of the Woman and the Seed of the Serpent" (Genesis 3:15);
"Walking with God" (Genesis 5:24); "Christ, the Believer's Wisdom,
Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption" (1 Corinthians
1:30); "The Potter and the Clay" (Jeremiah 8:1-6); and "The
Temptation of Christ" (Matthew 4:1-11).
