Caught In The Acts
First Lesson Sermons For Lent and Easter, Cycle A
G. Edward Whetstone

This book provides sermons for Lent and Easter based on the First Readings.

The season of Lent and Easter find us Caught In The Acts -- caught in the acts of those who, as Luther said, are both saints and sinners all at once. Those pastors who read sermons by other preachers, seeking inspiration, ideas, and illustrations, will find considerable help in planning and preparing their homilies for Lent and Easter in this book by Ed Whetstone. The Old Testament texts for Lent and those from the book of Acts for Easter become carefully conceived, thoughtfully developed, and very well written messages; the style is unique. The ancient texts are allowed to speak to people today in the context of the Word of the Lord, so that the hearers are completely Caught In The Acts of the law-gospel action of Lent and Easter. I recommend it without reservation. George Bass Professor Emeritus (Homiletics) Luther Serminary Sermon titles include: Down A Garden Path (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7) In The Eyes Of God (1 Samuel 16:1-13) A Day Like Two Thousand Years (Isaiah 52:13--53:12) G. Edward Whetstone is pastor of Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Catonsville, MD. He is a graduate of Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA, and Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN.
