Spencer served as the pastor of Second Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York from 1832-54. During his ministry there, he made more than 20,000 pastoral visits, most of which he summarized in the form of brief sketches. Seventy-seven of these sketches were made available in the book, A PASTOR’S SKETCHES: Conversations with Anxious Souls Concerning the Way of Salvation
Spencer’s initial influence was widespread, but his work has been largely forgotten today. Today, I would like to outline the approach to evangelism evidenced in Spencer’s sketches. Tomorrow, I will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Spencer’s evangelism, and then on Thursday, I will offer a strategy of evangelism based upon the insights learned from Spencer’s faithful work as pastor and evangelist.
