For each Sunday in Cycle C, the writers and editors of "Charting the Course," an integral part of Emphasis: A Lectionary Preaching Journal from CSS Publishing Company, delve into the heart of the lectionary readings, providing you, the pastor with in-depth lectionary-based commentary; relating several fresh, solid ideas -- based squarely on the lectionary texts -- for creating sermons that speak powerfully to your audience. The team of "Navigating the Sermon "looks for overall topics for the entire Cycle C church year that hold the readings together. Then, they zero in on the theme and the specific scripture links, suggesting directions for the sermon and worship service. Since a single application for each week may not provide what you are looking for at that particular time, "Navigating the Sermon" in most cases suggests several ideas, giving you the opportunity to select the one that matches your specific needs.
This book is like having a dedicated, thoroughly versed sermon research and sermon resource team right in your own study to help you create riveting sermons that are truly yours and that speak powerfully to your audience.

At some time during their search all seekers after spiritual truth need the light of consciousness awakened within them. The search for a teacher who can facilitate this process can be long and arduous, but the fumbling and unsteady steps along this path are a large and important part of the spiritual journey. Once connected with that light it becomes the responsibility of the pathwalker to maintain that connection and shine its light into the world. In the Way of the Flamekeeper David Kala Ka La tells the story of his own path to becoming a Flamekeeper. He also offers his guidance and suggestions to others who wish for more clarity about the steps that need to be taken in order to achieve self-realisation and know what it is to become fully Human - for only then can we become truly Immortal. David Kala Ka La lives and works in the North of England where he continues in his spiritual quest.
