(Over and over again Christ comes to our hiding places and...)
Over and over again Christ comes to our hiding places and our living spaces to offer us the gift of salvation. He calls the "treetop followers," the "grandstand Christians," and the cowering outcasts alike to accept his visit into their places. Life has its ways of driving us all up trees. Christ offers us a way to come down. -- from the sermon on Zacchaeus Using Pentecost season lectionary texts, Schneider speaks directly to Christians today. The author takes the stories of Luke and John and develops contemporary illustrations understood by all modern-day believers. These thirteen sermons follow Common, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic lectionaries. Sermon titles include: • A Lesson from Prayers Overheard -- Luke 18:9-14 • Captive to the Word of God -- John 8:31-36 &full; Our Living Hope -- Luke 20:27-35 • The Potentate of Time -- Luke 23:35-43 Theodore F.
