Summary "The Christian Serving His Own Generation" by John Alexander is a sermon delivered in the mid-19th century, specifically on January 17, 1847. This sermon reflects on the life and character of Joseph John Gurney, a prominent figure recognized for his contributions to the church and society. The core theme revolves around the concept of Christian service, emphasizing how individuals can fulfill their divine purpose and make an impact on their generation according to God's will. In this sermon, Alexander draws parallels between Gurney and the biblical King David, underscoring the exemplary nature of Gurney's life as a model of service to both the church and the broader community. He discusses how Gurney maintained a strong Christian identity through public profession, consistent moral character, generous contributions, and active involvement in social issues. The sermon ultimately encourages the congregation to emulate Gurney’s commitment to serving their own generation with the same fervor and dedication, suggesting that such service is not only a reflection of one's faith but also a means of achieving lasting influence that transcends one's earthly life.
