We all need refreshment on our spiritual journey, and there's no better source than a daily encounter with God's Word. In these pages, Stephen McCutchan helps you find the living water offered to us by the rock of the almighty. His complete set of insightful meditations, based on scripture texts from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary, guide you through each Sunday's passages by focusing on key themes and highlighting the central meaning for our everyday lives. This volume is perfect for use as a daily devotional - five easy-to-follow formats for personal meditation are included, allowing you to combine prayer time with reading one of the week's scripture texts and its accompanying commentary. It's also a valuable reference for sermon preparation, as well as an excellent curriculum for adult classes integrating Bible study with Sunday worship. Water from the Rock is an inspirational resource that will strengthen your connection with the divine story and your ability to hear God's voice speaking through scripture. Stephen P. McCutchan is a Presbyterian pastor and adjunct professor at Wake Forest Divinity School. Prior to his retirement in June 2006, he served for 23 years as the pastor of Highland Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
