Jesus spoke to people whose "hearts have grown dull, and their ears
hard of hearing" -- like today's churchgoers who think they know
what the preacher is going to say before the sermon begins. These
sermons use parable and paradox, narrative and humor, imagination
and solid biblical scholarship to tell the good news people don't
expect to hear.
"I hear best what I want to hear and I shut out the things I don't
want to hear. I hear, "Great sermon, Pastor " better than I hear,
"I notice your hair is getting thinner..". I have no problem at all
hearing the good news that I am forgiven. I have a really hard time
hearing a parable that tells me I will suffer the tortures of the
damned until I forgive. These sermons have been influenced by
preachers who have gotten through to me despite my spiritual
hearing impairment. Craddock, Buechner, and Lowry... David
Buttrick... Harry Emerson Fosdick..." (from author's Preface)
Sermons in this book are based on lections for the middle third of
the season after Pentecost.
Sermon titles include:
Prayer and Compassion Fatigue -- Matthew 14:13-21
Love Without Limits -- Matthew 15:10-28
Good News: Life Is Not Fair -- Matthew 20:1-16
Why Do We Ignore Warning Signs? -- Matthew 21:33-46
