Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we want to know how God will treat the Christian Church, we must look at how God treated the ancient people of Israel. That's the premise of Harry Huxhold's seventeen messages based on First Lesson texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, which demonstrate that the word and sacrament of Christian worship are as fresh as the promises of hope, providence, salvation, grace, and steadfast love that God first shared with humanity millennia ago. Titles include: - Days of Promise (Jeremiah 33:14-16) - The Child of Promise (Isaiah 9:2-7) - The Promise of Baptism (Isaiah 43:1-7) - The Fruit of Forgiveness (Genesis 45:3-11, 15) - Keeping the Glow On (Exodus 34:29-35) ... and more! Harry N. Huxhold holds an M.Div. degree from Concordia Seminary (St. Louis), an M.Th. degree from Luther Seminary (St. Paul, Minnesota), and a D.Min. degree (summa cum laude) from Christian Theological Seminary (Indianapolis). The author of fifteen books of devotional and sermonic materials and over fifty articles in theological journals and religious periodicals, Huxhold currently serves on the pastoral staff at King of Glory Lutheran Church in Carmel, Indiana.

Book excerpt: Advent is a time to think about gifts. Who should receive them? How much should they cost? What do the people on our list "need" most of all? We scramble every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, trying to "take care of our gift list." Here is a refreshing second look at the whole area of giving and receiving gifts. When all is said and done, it is not us but God who is the gift-giver. By his rich giving we are graced for life and for eternity. Throughout the season of Advent and Christmas, share with members of your congregation the good news of God's enormous generosity. Look together at the "gift list" God assembled for us once where shepherds watched and angels sang. These six sermons are each supplemented with simple object lessons for young children. The author focuses on God's gifts to us of: Angels Mary Shepherds Wisemen The baby Jesus Joseph Gary W. Houston is pastor of First United Methodist Church, Alexandria, Indiana. A graduate from the Episcopal seminary at Suwannee, Tennessee, he has a Ph.D. in Inner Asian Studies. He has authored/edited five published books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the sometimes disparate worlds of prophecy and gospel, Hal Warlick's sermons on texts from the Revised Common Lectionary provide illustrations and themes that will enable preachers and lay leaders to clearly communicate the Christian message. His work is anchored in sound scholarship, yet is written in a flowing, easy-to-understand narrative style that readers will immediately connect with. Most of Warlick's seventeen messages are based on passages from the letters of Paul, and Warlick finds these epistles to be as relevant today as when they were originally written. And since Paul's letters came from someone who daily faced the challenges of running a newly created organization, Warlick believes that they are a valuable resource for modern-day Christians trying to maintain a community of faith in an interconnected and spiritually struggling world. By helping readers to visualize old truths in fresh and exciting ways, this volume makes the sometimes overlooked Second Lesson texts a meaningful resource for the season. The author of thirteen books as well as over thirty articles and sermons in religious journals and publications, Harold C. Warlick Jr. is Professor of Religion and Minister to the University at High Point University in High Point, North Carolina. Dr. Warlick has served as both Director of Ministerial Studies and Lecturer in Applied Theology at Harvard Divinity School, and has pastored churches in South Carolina, Texas, and North Carolina. He holds degrees from Furman University (B.A.), Harvard University (S.T.B.), and Vanderbilt University (D.Div.).

This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Tony S. Everett provides us with a series of life-related sermons on the Old Testament lessons... the sermons are biblically and theologically responsible, not sacrificing the message for relevance... If I were in the pew I would be drawn to listen to this preacher and his examples and words would follow me into the week! (from the Foreword) Dr. H. Fredrick Reisz Jr. President, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary Columbia, South Carolina Tony Everett's stirring messages are as interesting to read as they would be to hear. He is a brilliant wordsmith with a keen insight into the needs of people and the ability to address God's word to those needs. It is easy for us to seek "quick-fix" solutions to challenges of declining attendance, shrinking income, and disappearing volunteers. We search in futility for simple techniques that promise the moon. Unfortunately we soon discover that these gimmicks are like the River Platte in Nebraska; a mile wide, but only an inch deep. Invariably such feeble solutions flash for a brief time, then crash in chaos. (from the Introduction) Among the seventeen sermons in this book are: Why Did Pastor Hypnotize Jenny? -- Advent 1 Anticipation Proclamation -- Advent 3 Unexpected Joy; Undeserved Gift -- Christmas Eve/Day Reach For The Light -- Epiphany New Name, New Status -- Epiphany 3 Who's In Charge Here Anyway? -- Epiphany B Looking Back, Moving Forward -- Transfiguration Tony S. Everett is a summa cum laude graduate of Youngstown State University. He earned an M.Div. degree from Hamma School of Theology and a Th.D. degree from Boston University School of Theology. He served in the parish ministry for eighteen years in Ohio and Massachusetts, and was also the director of a community health center in Angola, New York. He is currently the Dewey F. Beam Professor of Pastoral Care at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina, where he also consults with congregations in spiritual growth, leadership training, and conflict management.

Book excerpt: Some musicians come along and the music speaks to a particular decade. The lyrics of David span the centuries... His lyrics endure and forever surface in our liturgy. -- from chapter 7 The ten sermons in this book are based on texts primarily from 1 and 2 Samuel. Titles include: - Saul, The Tormented King - When Saints Go Marching Forth - R.S.V.P. - The Strange Tactics Of God The sermons of Art Kolsti are among the most consistently thoughtful and stimulating ones that I have heard, but they also contain ideas and subtitles that can slip past the listener on first hearing. They will amply repay the thoughtful and intelligent reader. Dr. James Munkres, Mathematics Dept. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Arthur Kolsti's sermons are all marked by their spiritual substance, apt historical and contemporary illustrations, concise wording, and grounding in careful expositions of Christian scripture and teaching. Kolsti is exquisitely skillful in the use of words and the Word. Arthur J. Dyck Professor of Population Ethics, Harvard University Professor of Ethics, Harvard Divinity School Arthur H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history professor told me that the earliest Protestants in America discouraged the celebration of Christmas. "It's too much fun," the Puritans reasoned, "and the Gospel of Jesus Christ requires our utmost seriousness." -- from the Introduction At a time of year which is often as stressful and exhausting as it is exhilarating, William Carter reminds us that while holiday celebrations will fade into winter gloom, Jesus Christ, the light that casts no shadow, remains at the center of our faith and lives. This collection of seventeen sermons based on the Revised Common Lectionary is for readers who wish to take the gospel seriously during a season when commercialism and social activities can be overwhelming. Carter's messages provide a wonderful interplay between the biblical text and illustrations drawn from contemporary life. He brings the sensibilities of an accomplished jazz musician to the lectionary readings, creating new melodies that arise from the established material -- some in counterpoint to the scripture, others elaborating upon the original tune. The sermons of this outstanding preacher are inspiring reading for both clergy and laypeople! Senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, William G. Carter has received national recognition for his preaching and writing, with sermons and articles appearing in Journal for Preachers, Presbyterian Survey, Preaching, Lectionary Homiletics, The Christian Ministry, and Best Sermons 7. In 1999, he was selected to preach on The Protestant Hour, an international radio ministry that reaches over two million listeners each week. He frequently leads workshops for pastors on homiletical themes and practices. A graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, Carter serves on the seminary's board of trustees. Reverend Carter is also a highly regarded jazz pianist who has studied and performed with such noted artists as Phil Woods and Bob Brookmeyer. He has traveled widely presenting contemporary worship services and frequently weaves his music into his ministry.

Book excerpt: Written in a narrative, storytelling style, these sermons based on texts from 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, Song of Solomon, Proverbs, Esther, and Job capture the drama of the Old Testament and bring it to life for contemporary listeners.

Dr. Thomas Lane Butts Monroeville, Alabama 1996 Protestant Hour Preacher Timothy Smith achieves two important goals in his Old Testament lectionary series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon a number of scripture texts from the gospel of Mark, this collection of sermons speaks about many challenges on the road to Christian maturity. The call of the gospel is given to all who find themselves in sticky human circumstances, whether they are troubled by relationships, tainted by affluence, tired of the career ladder, traumatized by persecution, or threatened by death. When people enter into a community of faith it may take a while for them to grow into mature membership within God's family. They may need to be weaned from selfish actions, stingy habits, and resentful attitudes. This book addresses those challenges in such chapters as: - Invitation to Community - Love and Money - What to Say When You Roll Out of Bed - Something to Do While the World Falls Apart There is an air of unpredictability about William Carter's sermons... Enjoy their humor; their joyful interplay of the biblical and the contemporary, their delightful poetic cadences. Thomas G. Long Princeton Theological Seminary William G.
