Sermons & Sermon - Lectionary Resources
A high quality lectionary based pastoral resource for "Christians in and out of the institutional church" by Barry Robinson of "Fernstone" in Lion's Head, Ontario, Canada. Barry writes: "Keeping The Faith in Babylon... is a word of hope from a pastor in exile to those still serious about discipleship in a society (and, too often, a church) that has lost its way." This resource features a full sermon text, biblical resource materials, study questions and suggestions for further reflection and devotion. Samples and pricing information are available on the Web Page or directly from Barry at fernstone@fernstone.org. Recommended.
