Preaching The Parables Series 4 Cycle A
$18.68
Richard Sheffield preaches and writes with clarity and conviction. He has a rare gift of interpreting parables so they are accessible to his audience while retaining their heavenly truth for our lives. He has a heart for God, and that comes through in this book.
Rev. David E. Gray
Former Acting Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Labor
Presbyterian Chaplain, American University
When Richard Sheffield sang “I Love to Tell the Story” as a child, he never dreamed that he would end up telling that age-old story for his life’s work. Yet “telling the story” is a vital form of communication for preachers and the most effective way to reach audiences with God’s powerful plan of salvation. People love to hear stories, sing about stories, and tell stories — but above all, they remember stories! Jesus knew this; indeed, he was a master storyteller himself. Jesus’ most powerful sermons — the parables — were simply earthly stories with heavenly meanings, using such common imagery as salt and light, sheep, a mustard seed, weeds, lamps with oil, and workers in a vineyard.
Preaching the Parables expands on 14 of Jesus’ parables appearing in Cycle A of the Revised Common Lectionary and brings them into a more modern setting. In Sheffield’s hands, the stories he loves to tell are as varied as familiar songs in the hymnal: he uses the children’s song “The Wise Man Built His House upon the Rock” as a springboard for a vivid portrayal of the difference between wise and foolish builders; “This Little Light of Mine” provides further insight into Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5; and the plaintive wail of “The Ninety and Nine” reminds us — just like Luke 15 — that if we were the only wandering sheep, our wonderful shepherd would seek for us until we were found.

Prayer
$18.00Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Songs of Jesus Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.

Giving Thanks To God
$9.99After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior’s voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her-and many others around the world. In the powerful pages of Jesus Calling, Sarah recounts the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart-words of reassurance, comfort, and hope that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
In the Jesus Calling Bible Study series, participants will be guided through eight sessions of study on key principles and topics presented in Sarah’s bestselling book. Readers will study Scripture passages each day to progressively learn (1) what it means to be thankful to God in every situation; (2) how to live boldly for God in a way that inspires others to follow Christ; (3) how to give the control to Christ and put Him first in everything they do; and (4) what it means to trust completely in God and dwell in His peace. Each eight-session study includes readings from Jesus Calling, selected Scripture and Bible Study questions, and daily reflection questions, and is designed for use in personal, small-group, or classroom settings.
