O knihe

Christmas Grace

Second Reading Sermons on Advent/Christmas/Epiphany

Timothy J. Smith

In each of Sunday's assigned lectionary readings -- the First, Second, and Gospel lessons -- we are invited to view the glorious narrative of scripture through three different, yet harmonious, perspectives. In the second lesson, we become witnesses to the growth and development of the early church as described in the epistles of Paul and the other apostles. As the early Christians take their first steps in their faith, we too learn how to travel on our own journey with Christ.

Christmas Grace kicks off the lectionary year in the celebrations of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Smith journeys through the New Testament lessons, offering fresh insight for the twenty-first-century church as they celebrate this time of new beginnings.

This collection of sermons is a valuable resource for:

Sermon starters and illuminating illustrations

Gaining a new homiletical perspective to the lectionary

Offering a newer, deeper understanding and appreciation of Scripture

Using as a starter for adult Bible study groups or personal devotions

This insightful collection of sermons includes:

Wake Up Call

The Gift that Matters!

Divided We Fall

... and many more!
