Some things can come only when the Spirit takes over and somehow we become what we never thought we could be, because the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. There are occasions when those sighs come to the surface and we know that God has taken our hearts to places we did not know could exist. -- from Proper 12 sermon, "Strength Out of Weakness" Through fascinating anecdotes and stories drawn from his wide-ranging ministerial experience, Tom Garrison applies epistle readings from the Revised Common Lectionary to contemporary life. His powerful and insightful messages proclaim the good news, trumpeting God's amazing and unconditional love for us while reciting countless examples of how we can reflect that love in our everyday lives. His illustrations have a folksy charm, and readers will discover that the sermons of this veteran preacher provide plenty of nourishing food for thought. Sermon titles include: * The Pain of Caring (Romans 9:1-5) * A Living Sacrifice (Romans 12:1-8) * Who Am I to Judge Another? (Romans 14:1-12) * Living on the Edge (Philippians 1:21-30) Tom M. Garrison is the senior pastor of Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
