| ISBN | : 0788013076 |
This book was written for busy pastors and lay leaders who want to provide their congregations with a biblical, informative, and motivational monologue series for the Lenten season. Each monologue features a Bible character who gave something to Jesus during Holy Week, and one who had nothing to give. A children's sermon accompanies each monologue. Donald Neidigk is a gifted communicator who brings the Passion Story to life through the eyes of eight personalities. Through creatively burrowing into the minds of those touched by Jesus, the author brings fresh, convincing perspectives to the week that changed the world. Paul L. Maier, Ph.D. Department of History Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan Here is the ancient story of Holy Week, retold in colorful and vivid detail. With a sure hand Pastor Neidigk draws us into the spiritual depths of the Lenten season and snaps on a string of revealing lights... Neidigk is a story teller, revisiting people and places from the greatest story ever told. Bruce L. Shelley Senior Professor, Denver Seminary author of Church History In Plain Language The texts read very well, but they are obviously meant to be spoken. Like the scriptures, they are far more powerful when presented orally... it is likely that those listening will find themselves being drawn into the setting and becoming part of the event. Erich E. Helge, Ed.D. Donald H. Neidigk earned his B.S. degree from New Mexico State University and his M.Div. degree from the Denver Seminary. He completed additional graduate study at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Pastor Neidigk currently serves Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

Whispering the Lyrics

| ISBN | : 0788004921 |
Based on texts from the Revised Common and Catholic lectionaries, Thomas Long provides inspirational messages to motivate and help preachers through their most difficult preaching time of the year, the seasons of Lent and Easter. The road to Easter takes us through the most sacred stretch of the gospel story, and the narratives simply overwhelm us... Congregations who blithely assume that their pastor eagerly relishes the chance to preach the passion and resurrection of Jesus are, for the most part, mistaken. To be sure the pews are more crowded as Easter approaches, the choirs are well-rehearsed and in full voice, and an electric charge courses through the sanctuary, but the preacher stands there with the obligation to proclaim the truths of Jesus' death and resurrection, and it seems, at one and the same time, to be a set of claims too little to go on in a secular and cynical age and a range of mysteries too profound to speak. -- from author's foreword Thomas Long is Francis Landey Patton Professor of Preaching and Worship at Princeton Theological Seminary and is one of the most well-known teachers of preachers in America. This is his second book published by CSS.

Harry Huxhold's excellent sermons build on the epistle texts from the lectionary to express and explain the meaning of the Lord's passion and resurrection. His messages interpret the events of Jesus' life in the light of God's revelation to us through the scriptures. By sharpening our focus on the access we have to hope through the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, he helps readers find the true significance in the events of his earthly life. Sermon titles include: Access to Grace (Romans 5:1-11) Live in the Light (Ephesians 5:8-14) The Outcome of Faith (1 Peter 1:3-9) Having High Hope (Ephesians 1:15-23) Harry N.

| ISBN | : 9781556737053 |
Excuse Me, Did You Know Him? includes eight sermons and orders of service for the Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Each sermon is in the form of a story. Brownlee's insightful biblical scholarship finds a graceful helpmate in his ability to tell compelling stories. His fresh approach to storytelling is much needed today, and I predict a wide readership for his book, and as a result, a breath of fresh air in the church. C. William Nichols General Minister and President Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) He develops his stories' characters until they become recognizable friends and acquaintances. His characters speak in an idiom and with a rhythm, which sounds like it is from down the street or even from the next room. Peter M. Morgan Center for Congregational Vitality Division of Homeland Ministries Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Brownlee's ability to discern the gospel in the stuff of everyday life is a gift, which he shares joyfully with his readers. William B. Allen Regional Minister Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in West Virginia Jack Brownlee, Moundsville, West Virginia, is pastor of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Parkersburg. He graduated from Eureka College (Illinois) and holds a master's of divinity degree from Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis.

Sermons for Lent and the Easter Season
| Author | : Saint Bernard (of Clairvaux) |
| Publisher | : Liturgical Press |
| Total Pages | : 257 |
| Release | : 2013 |
| Genre | : Religion |
| ISBN | : 0879074523 |
The sermons of Bernard of Clairvaux evoke the inner conversion of the human person who is open to the Word/words, the external conversion that is submission to the obedience of community life, and, finally, the personal recognition of the true nature of the divine Word. This volume contains Saint Bernard's sermons for the liturgical seasons of Lent and Easter. Included are sermons for the Purification, Septuagesima, the feast of Saint Benedict, and the feast of the Annunciation, all of which are interpreted by Bernard in light of the paschal mystery. In the sermons for Lent, especially, one gets to know a more hesitant and searching Bernard than appears in his other liturgical sermons. This volume is the third of a projected five volumes of Bernard's liturgical sermons.
