Everyone loves a good story. Storytellers who excel at their craft
have the ability to draw readers or listeners into the worlds they
create, using characters and situations to entertain and enlighten
us. Jesus, the Master Storyteller, often spoke using parables --
short stories that conveyed a spiritual truth. By drawing his
listeners into his story, he unlocked their minds and hearts to
hear the truth he was trying to relate to them.
This compilation of stories for the Lent and Easter Seasons taken
from StorySharefollows in that same tradition. StoryShare, a part
of SermonSuite.com, is written by various authors brought together
to meditate on scriptures in the Revised Common Lectionary for
Cycle A and create stories that flesh out these passages, allowing
readers to see these words in a new way. These stories can be
whimsical and light-hearted or poignant and reflective, even
tragic. But they all strive to bring us to a deeper understanding
of the scriptures and the God who inspired them.Some of the stories
are even based on actual events experienced by the authors, events
that influenced their perspective on Christianity.
Useful as sermon illustrations, stand alone sermons, teaching
aides, personal devotions, or even just for entertaining reading,
"Stories for Teaching and Preaching "will draw you into new worlds
with vibrant and engaging images, deepening your relationship with
God in the process.
In this special edition for the Sundays in Lent and Easter of Cycle
A, 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 writers looks for overall
topics for the seasons of Lent and Easter in the Cycle A 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.
