New Resolve

The New Testament epistles offer us a unique look at some of the struggles faced by the early church, and how those first-century Christians worked through some of the theological and pastoral issues that divided them. In this anthology of insightful sermons based on the Second Readings from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary, Scott Suskovic explores the epistles and shows that their lessons on life and faith still offer valuable guidance for today's complex challenges. This volume includes ten messages for every Sunday and major celebration throughout the Pentecost season (Last Third), and is filled with compelling stories and wisdom. It's a preaching, teaching, and meditation resource that will be a welcome addition to any library.
This essential resource is useful for:
¿ Fresh homiletical approaches to the lectionary texts
¿ Inspiring preaching illustrations and sermon starters
¿ Understanding scripture passages
¿ Adult study and discussion groups
¿ Personal devotions and Bible study
