Too often, we become so consumed by rules and ritual that we forget that the primary message of Jesus is found through love displayed on a cross.
In his collection of 17 Cycle C sermons on the gospel readings for the seasons of Lent and Easter, R. Robert Cueni brilliantly draws from over four decades of pastoral experience, blending a deep knowledge of historical events with beautifully written text as he invites the reader to consider how to live out a life of genuine faith.
As Cueni reminds us of our human frailty, he quickly points us back to the message of Easter, a story where redemption is poured out even in spite of our imperfect natures. Cueni beckons the reader to draw near, to be still and know God, and to enter into a relationship that abandons judgment and embraces love.
An excellent sermon resource, Can I Get Some Help Over Here? can also be used for group or individual study.
Sermon Titles include:
- From Deep Unto Deep(Luke 22:14--23:56)
- What To Give Up For Lent (Luke 4:1-13)
- It Is Always The Third Day (Luke 13:31-35)
