Book Synopsis Hope Beneath the Surface by : Paul E. Robinson
Download or read book Hope Beneath the Surface written by Paul E. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On these pages one encounters the moving image of the holy God with Isaiah in the temple, the powerful call to justice through the thundering voice of Amos, the depth of despair in the heart of Jeremiah, and the struggle for faithfulness in the prophetic work of Hosea, Elijah, and others. Underlying every page is the presence of Jesus of Nazareth, who is constantly uppermost as each sermon unfolds. Robinson's writing, like his preaching, reveals a person who is in close touch with the common ventures of life. More significantly he is in touch with the common people of the working, playing, and suffering worlds. And he is in touch with the verities of the Christian faith. Reverend Vernon Bigler Buffalo, New York The gripping illustrations in this book are worth the price alone. Paul Robinson has served churches in Basel, Switzerland, and throughout the state of New York. He holds degrees from Lycoming College and Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington DC. He is currently the pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church in Grand Island, New York.
Book Synopsis It's News to Me! by : Linda Schiphorst McCoy
Download or read book It's News to Me! written by Linda Schiphorst McCoy and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often, many people find traditional worship dull and the sermons they hear impractical for living in today's world. Yet Linda McCoy is convinced that the message of God's unconditional love is the most vital word for life anyone can receive -- especially those who have never heard or truly experienced it. Her inspiring sermons share that message of hope with modern Americans by bridging the gap between the sacred and the secular. As the fruit of her non-traditional ministry directed toward those who have never been part of a church or who have been "turned off" or "disenfranchised" by the established church, McCoy's short, to-the-point messages effectively and relevantly communicate the good news to anyone who is searching for an experience of the Divine. Readers of these sermons will be connected to a deep sense of purpose and enriched by God's amazing love and grace. Sermon titles include: - Prepare For Arrival (Matthew 3:1-12) - The Power Of A Dream (Matthew 2:13-23) - Positive Identification (John 1:29-42) - Building Bridges (Matthew 5:21-37) - It's A Mystery (Matthew 17:1-9) Linda Schiphorst McCoy has been the pastor of The Garden (a Blossom of St. Luke's United Methodist Church) in Indianapolis since 1995, and from 1982-1995 served as associate pastor at St. Luke's. McCoy earned degrees in French (B.A.) and Education (M.S.) from Indiana University, and received her theological training from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis (M.Div.) and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio (D.Min.).
Download or read book Coming Home written by Frank Ramirez and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After many years of preaching from the first three chapters of Luke and the first two chapters of Matthew, Frank Ramirez decided to preach about something a little different around Christmastime. What evolved was this series of seven messages for the Sundays beginning with Advent and ending with Epiphany. Why a sermon series based on the Old Testament book of Haggai? Ramirez writes, "I've always been fascinated by the lesser known books of the Old Testament, partly because I'm afraid of being embarrassed in heaven if I don't recognize some of these people!" Frank Ramirez is pastor of the Elkhart Valley Church of the Brethren in Elkhart, Indiana. A native of California, he has also lived in Virginia, Tennessee, and Illinois. He has served as a parish pastor since graduating from Bethany Theological Seminary. His other interests include beekeeping and marathon running. Ramirez has written seven other books, plus numerous articles and short fiction.

Book Synopsis The Days are Surely Coming by : Robert A. Hausman
Download or read book The Days are Surely Coming written by Robert A. Hausman and published by CSS Publishing Company. This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are sermons, which I can say proudly are by my pastor, which bury into some of the lectionary's Old Testament texts. They get at them in the context of the message of the whole gospel. They address the issues we face with candor. They will stimulate your imagination and your faith, just as his preaching stimulates those of us in his congregation week by week. Paul Westermeyer Professor of Church Music Luther Seminary St. Paul, Minnesota In Bethlehem the rules are different. We get by giving. We win by losing. We live by dying. These are principles set forth by a God who comes to us, not under Herod's golden crown, but Jesus' thorny crown, not with legions of soldiers, but legions of angels, not in great Jerusalem, but in tiny Bethlehem. Let us begin our journey there. -- from the Advent 3 sermon Robert A. Hausman writes that once again in Advent, we tell Israel's story of hope against hope. We believe the promise of a shoot coming forth from a dead stump, of a king who executes justice. "In faith we are ready to be called by the name, 'The Lord is our righteousness.' We remember not only the promise, but also the fulfillment," says the author. The seventeen sermons in this book are based on the First Lesson texts primarily from Isaiah and Jeremiah. The sermons follow the Revised Common Lectionary. Robert A. Hausman, St. Paul, Minnesota, is pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. In addition to his parish ministry, he has been a campus pastor, a college and seminary professor, and a book editor. He holds a doctorate from the University of Chicago.
Book Synopsis And Then Came the Angel by : William B. Kincaid
Download or read book And Then Came the Angel written by William B. Kincaid and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have heard Bill Kincaid preach. After reading this book of sermons I am of the opinion that he has defied the axiom that sermons that preach well don't read well, and sermons that read well don't preach well. The sermons in this volume read well and at the same time make me wish I had preached them. They... will stimulate new thinking about the meaning and significance of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. As a pastor I often ask myself what "new" thing can be said about them. These sermons answer that question with a contagious power that will make anyone who loves preaching look forward to the chance to preach during the first seasons of the church year. Jan G. Lin Professor, Lexington Theological Seminary Author of What Ministers Wish Church Members Knew, Living Inside Out, and The Jesus Connection The biblical texts of these sermons are familiar, but don't expect the same tired old treatment of them. Kincaid brings freshness to these lessons and produces sermons that are powerful and insightful... a wonderful blend of scholarship and spirituality. Read them and learn. Read them and worship. Gary W. Kidwell Editor, Biblical Preaching Journal Vice President, Board of Church Extension (Disciples Of Christ) Sermon titles include: How Unexpected Can Christmas Be? (Matthew 24:36-44) Room for Questions (Matthew 11:2-11) Been There, Done That (Matthew 2:13-23) You May Have to Die First (John 1:29-42) How Much Sin Is Too Much? (Matthew 5:13-20) How Long Should We Stay? (Matthew 17:1-9) William B. Kincaid III serves as minister of Woodland Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Lexington, Kentucky. He holds degrees from the University of Kentucky and Lexington Theological Seminary. Rev. Kincaid's sermons, stories, and articles have appeared in Biblical Preaching Journal, The Christian Ministry, and Lectionary Homiletics.
