Drawing on biblical teachings, Kingsley seeks to address various national concerns, emphasizing the importance of faith and righteousness in guiding societal behaviors and decisions. The opening of the work introduces the first sermon, which focuses on the theme of Christ as the King of the earth. Kingsley discusses the significance of Advent as a time to reflect on Jesus Christ's coming and its relevance to societal issues such as poverty and moral failure. He emphasizes that hard times create a heightened need for a just king, while also encouraging listeners to recognize the continuance of Christ’s kingdom and justice in the world. Kingsley expresses a belief in the ongoing relevance of biblical teachings and the necessity for individuals and society to prepare their hearts for Christ's return and judgment. In this context, he calls for a reckoning with personal and national sins, urging both self-examination and action aligned with Christian values.
