Opis

Modern life presents many difficult and challenging situations -- but as the Hebrew scriptures reveal in rich detail, that's nothing new for God's people. Indeed, the Bible shares the epic story of how God's faithful followers were formed and shaped through centuries of trial by fire. In this inspiring collection of powerful messages, five master practitioners of the homiletic craft explore passages from the Old Testament and the Book of Acts, and show how the wisdom contained in those ancient texts offers vital moral and spiritual guidance for contemporary living. Building on stories in which God moves ordinary people to extraordinary heights, these sermons passionately proclaim the good news of God's continuing presence -- and the possibilities that offers for our lives, our churches, and the world.
