Summary

This sermon provides a detailed discussion and study of the source of Jesus' power -- a faith tried and tested in experience, not a transcendent faith. The scene of the Garden of Gethsemane is the sublime height of Jesus' moral courage and leadership.

Earl C. Davis clearly worked on this sermon. Two envelopes containing text for it survive. The first, with the note on the outside, “Did Christ Have the Power of God?" was preached Sunday evening, Feb., 25, 1923 and contained a beginning-to-end text of the sermon. The second envelope had two sets of extra notes, broadly similar, but one worked over in pencil. The materials below include the full sermon – as found in the first envelope – and both of the alternative texts notes found in the second envelope, and a transcription of all.
