God In The Present Tense Cycle B
$16.18One of the enduring legacies of the Revised Common Lectionary is its ability to draw different parts of scripture together to form a coherent narrative, drawing congregations from around the world into the life-changing message of faith in Jesus Christ. Each element of the lectionary brings its own point of view into this message, giving us insights into its origins, the impact on its original hearers, as well as its relevance for our lives today. In the gospel message, we see the drama of Jesus’ life and ministry and are challenged to join in it.
God in the Present Tense covers the middle third of the Pentecost season, examining the ministry of Jesus as presented in the gospels of Mark and John. In this collection of sermons, Carter endeavors to show how these passages are not confined to a singular moment in history, but instead are relevant and valuable in our own time, as well. Jesus’ ministry was not just for first-century Palestine but for all people everywhere throughout time. These sermons will lift the stories off the page and give them new life in our present time.
This collection of sermons is a valuable resource for:
– Sermon starters and illuminating illustrations
– Gaining a new homiletical perspective to the lectionary

Christmas Quartet : Poetic Reflections On The Nativity
$16.18An outstanding writer and preacher shares with readers a different approach to the season: four verse sermons on characters from the Christmas narrative (Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men), each accompanied by a chapter providing relevant background material on the featured character. It’s an intriguing combination that lends itself equally well to preaching or to Bible studies – for example, you can build a four-week Advent program around the poems. And there are four suggested orders of service provided that emphasize the message of the sermons. In a “lessons and carols” format, they’re perfect for Christmas Eve – but they also work well for Advent gatherings or potluck dinners. You’ll find a variety of ways to use these creative and thoughtful meditations that portray familiar characters in a fresh, new way.
