Maybe Today

As the fledgling church was taking its first steps into a new world, carving out a new spiritual path, it left road signs to guide the church yet to come. Those road signs are contained in the pastoral letters of the New Testament, and they have been guiding the body of Christ since its infancy. This outstanding sermon resource is based on the Second Readings from Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary, drawing valuable lessons from these texts for the complex challenges posed by life in the 21st century. 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 Scott Suskovic is the senior pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, a thriving congregation with an average worship attendance of more than 1,000 in both contemporary and traditional settings.
