Sermon by Pastor Bill
"Come Before Winter"
II Timothy 4:21
....................
The sermon this morning is based on a sermon with the same title that was preached by Pastor Clarence Macartney in the early 1900's. While some of the message has been made more contemporary, the critical and urgent call for all of us to do spiritually what God calls us to do now, and much of the text of the sermon, is Macartney's. The truths he preached then and the call Pastor Macartney gave then, are perhaps even more urgent today ... we truly need to Come Before Winter.

Pastor Clarence Macartney, 1879 - 1957
Clarence Edward Noble Macartney was a prominent conservative Presbyterian pastor and author. Along with J. Gresham Machen, he was one of the main leaders of the conservatives during the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy in the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.
For example, in 1922, when the Christ-denying Harry Emerson Fosdick preached and distributed his famous sermon "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?" it was Macartney who responded with his message, "Shall Unbelief Win?"
Sermons that Pastor Macartney preached at the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh formed the basis of two of the books he later published: Things Most Surely Believed and What Jesus Really Taught. Macartney continued to preach his conservative message in sermons, which he disseminated in pamphlets and in over forty books.
