Modern life presents many difficult and challenging situations -- but as the Hebrew scriptures reveal in rich detail, that's nothing new for God's people. Indeed, the Bible shares the epic story of how God's faithful followers were formed and shaped through centuries of trial by fire. In this inspiring collection of powerful messages, five master practitioners of the homiletic craft explore passages from the Old Testament and the Book of Acts, and show how the wisdom contained in those ancient texts offers vital moral and spiritual guidance for contemporary living. Building on stories in which God moves ordinary people to extraordinary heights, these sermons passionately proclaim the good news of God's continuing presence -- and the possibilities that offers for our lives, our churches, and the world.
The Old Testament is a rich tapestry that details how God's plan of
salvation was being worked out centuries before the birth of
Christ. Yet many people in the pews are not as familiar as they
should be with the Hebrew scriptures and their profound lessons for
modern living. In this penetrating collection of spiritually
enlightening messages based on the First Readings from Cycle C of
the Revised Common Lectionary, five distinguished preachers unlock
the secrets of some often overlooked passages from the Old
Testament and the book of Acts. These sermons for each Sunday and
major celebration throughout the entire church year illuminate the
wisdom of the prophets, and they demonstrate how relevant their
timeless themes of justice and righteousness remain for our
twenty-first-century culture. Each thought-provoking message is
filled with compelling stories and illustrations that help readers
see how to "profit from the prophets."
Of each week's lectionary texts, the Psalms are the least frequently used as a basis for sermons ? yet they are incredibly rich in the very life substance that makes preaching relevant. From personal suffering to the absence of God, from national failure to the burden of personal sin, the Psalms are filled with the pathos of the human struggle for and with God. Hear My Voice is an invaluable tool for tapping into this abundant source of sermonic material. It's a comprehensive collection of informative homiletical commentaries on the Psalm texts drawn from the pages of the acclaimed preaching journal Emphasis. Covering the complete three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary, these brief explorations provide numerous starting points for developing solidly scriptural sermons that also speak to contemporary life. Convenient features include cross-referencing of multiple occurrences of the same text so that you can consider alternative approaches, plus a helpful index.
