John Winthrop: City On A Hill

John Winthrop left Europe and sailed across the ocean to become one of the first governors of Massachusetts. Before the group of Puritans left for the New World this was the final message they heard. And in it was much of the hope for what America could become. The sermon is actually titled, "The Model Of Christian Charity," but is famous for the line, "City on a Hill." This line would go on to become popular in political discussions of the United States of America. But in this sermon, it meant so much more than that.
