    Their purpose was to scare people into submission. The sermons would usually be about burning in hell for sins and describing the torture in detail and people would be scared of this and remain puritan in their belief and remain faithful to the church and to god. The most famous one is "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards that is still read by many today.
