{"title":"Al Hill","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"walking-with-jesus-book-al-hill-9781948773157","title":"Walking with Jesus","description":"Walking with Jesus is a collection of 32 sermons from the Gospel of Matthew. All the sermons in this book are based, at least in part, on texts from the first Gospel, though not all the sermons I preached from Matthew are in this book. The sequence of the sermons here follow the order of the biblical texts.The sermons were preached in Navy chapels and civilian churches over a period of many years, as internal references to events of the times will suggest. Though all were written in full, they were written to be heard (in public) rather than read (in private).The publication of this book and its colleagues is an effort at Christian stewardship. Like most preachers, I spent thousands of hours over a number of decades researching and preparing sermons. What came out of that effort may still be of value to others who are even now proclaiming the good news of our faith. I hope you will find something to inspire, inform or perhaps intrigue you, as the work of so many others did me as I worked to put sermons together for God's people in my care.The full biblical text for each sermon has been provided in the book either before or within the sermon, as a convenience to you. The different versions of the Bible used in the book reflect the particular preferences of the various congregations I served. The footnotes you will find throughout are a later addition, for your benefit. When actually quoting scripture, I have included the version used. When I paraphrased (which I seemed to have done a good deal of), or merely alluded to a passage, no version is provided in the footnote. I have also given scriptural citations for ideas or assertions in the sermons that are based on biblical authority.Several sermons are based on the same passage. This is to be expected when one has followed the Revised Common Lectionary for many (though not all) years in the preaching process. I have provided indices at the end that should help the Bible student navigate the book more comfortably and profitably. I have appreciated such helps (when they existed) in the books of sermons I have consulted over the years. I hope they will be of benefit to you.And I hope and pray that something in these pages will make the time you spend here a blessing to you and will enhance your ability to walk with Jesus.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54377932882193,"sku":"NIN9781948773157","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781948773157.jpg?v=1787415975"},{"product_id":"o-come-let-god-adore-us-book-al-hill-9781948773065","title":"O Come, Let God Adore Us","description":"O Come, Let God Adore Us brings together three dozen thoughtful and inspiring sermons from Old and New Testament lectionary readings (with extensive cross-referencing) for those who preach and those who listen to preaching.

There are sermons from the early days of Israel becoming a nation-state, with the individuals and families who were key in God's ongoing plan for His people. And there are sermons from Israel's long tradition of reflecting on what it meant to be God's special people.The book provides all the texts for the sermons, and contains a number of valuable indices identifying Revised Common Lectionary readings, and listing extensive biblical references in biblical order.

The sermons were written over a number of years and were preached in various Navy chapels and civilian churches. Jesus told stories about people-some ordinary, some anything but-to tell people the extraordinary story of God's salvation, now available to them in the Person of One Who looked for all the world to be just like one of them. The stories Jesus told are found in all four Gospels, but some of the most memorable, and powerful, are found in Luke alone. Jesus created a world with words that seems very much like the world created with divine words in the beginning-the world the people who listened to His stories knew so well. But the story world of Jesus turned out to be very different from what people had come to expect in their world. His stories revealed an unexpectedly different and far better world from the one they knew. Jesus had come not just to tell them about this other and better world, but to take them there. But before people could go there, they had to realize there was a different world to go to, and then what was required of them to get there. And for this, Jesus told them stories.Relating the parables of Jesus was not all Luke did in his Gospel, and his Gospel was not all he wrote to convey the story of Jesus-from His miraculous birth through His earthly ministry to His death and resurrection-and beyond. Luke told the stories of Jesus as part of the story of Jesus (in the Gospel) and of His Church (in the Acts of the Apostles). The stories of Jesus continue to be told today-and the story continues to be written, in our lives and the lives of hundreds of millions of other people who have heard what Jesus said and have seen the other world His words revealed. Every day, people go down the road from Jerusalem to Jericho with Jesus and find themselves in a far better world as a result.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54651099873553,"sku":"NIN9781948773201","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781948773201.jpg?v=1789230896"},{"product_id":"in-the-presence-of-the-lord-book-al-hill-9781948773119","title":"In the Presence of the Lord","description":"In the Presence of the Lord is a collection of 27 sermons based on scripture texts from the Psalms and 10 of the prophetic books.
