Looking for material for a midweek Lenten series that is engaging
for congregation members but easy for worship leaders to produce?
Here is a collection of Lenten dialogue sermons on the gospel of
Matthew that is conversational in tone, engaging and accessible for
people in the pew, easy to stage, theologically thoughtful,
biblically insightful, focused on themes and messages found in the
gospel of Matthew, and tested in the parish.
Roger Timm invites his readers into the Lenten season of study and
reflection with this poignant collection of dialogues. "Acting Out
Matthew's Message" presents a relevant discussion on the themes
found throughout the first gospel narrative, inviting the reader to
reflect upon the truths hidden within Matthew's parables while
recognizing the careful balance between Old Testament law and the
new message of Jesus. Timm's simple approach throughout his fifteen
dialogues has been designed to awaken the minds and hearts of an
audience, presenting simple scenarios with theological significance
and offering a fresh perspective on the message of the cross.
