  Glory Of Our Weakness

  $16.18

  This Lenten series includes sermons for Ash Wednesday, the five Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Easter Sunday, and the Sunday after Easter.

  The messages issue a call for repentance, appropriate to the Lenten season, yet throughout the series they reach deeply inside relating to human hurts and needs. “Barabbas Speaks” (Fifth Sunday in Lent) is a first-person story sermon spoken from Barabbas’ point of view. The Palm Sunday sermon, “The Strength To See It Through,” merges the celebratory nature of the triumphant day with the dark Passion yet to come. “Resurrection Of The Heart,” an Easter Sunday sermon, preaches forgiveness in very personal terms, and “Late For Easter” (Sunday after Easter) plants the good news in those troubled hearts which haven’t yet received it.

  More Urgent Season

  $16.18

  This book of eight sermons offers many directions. One sermon tells the tale of the angel Gabriel’s skeptical cousin, Hector. Another is a “once upon a time” story set in a land called Cornucopia. Yet another draws a radically prophetic vision of Christmas through the eyes of two biblical women. Others range from a discussion of pregnancy to a discussion of peace.

  A pastoral prayer and brief children’s lesson accompany each sermon. Sermon texts include the Psalms, 1 Samuel, Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, and Ephesians.

  White challenges preachers to tell the familiar Christmas story in new and interesting ways. He maintains that “to remain fresh through succeeding Advent seasons, preachers must stretch themselves in as many directions as possible.” He states that part of the preacher’s annual challenge is to “fearlessly illuminate the oft-neglected social dimension of Advent, to enlist Christian energies in the struggle for what is just, pure, and true, and to anticipate the day when Christ shall return to redeem this sorely afflicted world in the fullness of time.”
