Bumper Sticker Religion
$12.95Add to cartA few years ago I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said, “Let Our Kids Pray.” I had an immediate reaction…. I went to my car and got a pen and paper and wrote on the paper, “Who’s stopping them?” and put it under the windshield wiper. (from “Let Our Kids Pray”)
Carl B. Rife found sermon themes on bumper stickers. With the help of his congregation, he identified seven familiar themes and crafted sermons from them.
The sermons in this book are sometimes an elaboration, sometimes a correction, sometimes an argument, and sometimes a discussion of the particular sentiment found on the bumper sticker.
This book touches a number of basic Christian themes including:
Creation
Forgiveness
The second coming
God’s Word
Prayer
Grace

Church Is You And I
$7.95Add to cart“The Church Is You and I “is a simple but significant Confirmation service and message. The service reflects on the meaning of Confirmation in terms of our relationship to the church. Confirmation is seen as covenant — an affirmation of our new covenant with God and the church. That covenant calls us to service. It is this theme of service and mutual sharing that is found in the message. The church is seen as people — not as buildings. The sermon/message is written in poetic form and may be presented in dialogue fashion using three voices or many voices.
