Tenders Of The Sacred Fire (First Third : Cycle a, First Lesson Texts)

These sermons are based on First Lesson lectionary texts for the first third of the Season after Pentecost, Cycle A.

[Bob Cueni's] preaching meets the unspoken criteria most pew residents bring to a church sanctuary: 1) biblically rooted, 2) easy to understand, 3) tells me something about myself that I feel God wants me to know, and 4) encourages me to believe that I can apply this truth to my life.... His communication style evokes the highest praise pulpit residents can give their peers: ""That will preach!""
Herb Miller Lubbock, Texas
