Jan Hus.
A martyr burned at the stake in 1415.
Read any description of him and you'll hear his sermons were fiery and powerful.
But for 611 years his sermons have not been translated into English!
What the Catholic Church wished to accomplish in silencing Jan Hus has been true for the English speaking world and his preaching.
Until today!
We at Revived Thoughts are excited, for the first time in history, to introduce you to a sermon by Jan Hus. On the latest episode of our podcast you can hear it read and be one of the first in the English speaking world! We also provide the link for you to read it.
The first sermon we chose was on the topic of forgiveness. A problem for those 6 centuries ago and still a problem for us today.
Learn the story of a man who did not flinch an inch under persecution. He died but the movement he started didn't end with him.
And hear the sermon they never wanted you to hear.
Satan gives Adam an apple, and takes away paradise. Therefore in all temptations let us consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose.
—Richard Sibbes, A Puritan Golden Treasury, Pg. 293
Troy Fraiser @RevivedThoughts gives us a break down of why Christians should care about Church history and how it doesn't just start in the 1950s or just after the Reformation.

6 Things the Council of Nicea did not do

4.Suppress hundreds of legitimate and more tolerant "Christianities"
5. Institute the patriarchy
6.Suppress the truth about Lilith
By the way, there’s already a pretty good movie about William Tyndale, God’s Outlaw, starring Roger Rees (A Christmas Carol, Robin Hood Men in Tights) that’s available (at last check) to stream via Amazon. https://t.co/5NodF4M3me
If you could turn any story from church history into a movie, which would you choose?
I think I'd be tempted to go with the Taiping Rebellion. But Charles Spurgeon's life-story could be incredible, too.
