What passage from 2 Isaiah was the basis of a famous sermon by William Carey, founder of the modern missionary enterprise?
Answer:
Carey later preached a pro-missionary sermon (the Deathless Sermon), using (Isaiah 54:2–3 NIV> “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back,; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.) as his text, in which he repeatedly used the epigram which has become his most famous quotation: Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.
