"Bearing Fruit in Due Season calls upon biblical scholars to pay attention to what happens when academic biblical studies meet the worshiping Church. It also provides the keys to a treasury of feminist biblical interpretation to enrich both the makers of liturgy and all the people who worship."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The sermons of Bernard of Clairvaux evoke the inner conversion of the human person who is open to the Word/words, the external conversion that is submission to the obedience of community life, and, finally, the personal recognition of the true nature of the divine Word. This volume contains Saint Bernard's sermons for the liturgical seasons of Lent and Easter. Included are sermons for the Purification, Septuagesima, the feast of Saint Benedict, and the feast of the Annunciation, all of which are interpreted by Bernard in light of the paschal mystery. In the sermons for Lent, especially, one gets to know a more hesitant and searching Bernard than appears in his other liturgical sermons. This volume is the third of a projected five volumes of Bernard's liturgical sermons.

The Psalms have long served a vital role in the individual and corporate lives of Christians. The church fathers employed the Psalms widely—as hymns, Scripture readings, counsel on morals, forms for prayer, and apologetic and doctrinal wisdom. In this ACCS volume readers will find rich comment and theological reflection from more than sixty-five ancient authors.

In this final volume of his series on preaching Christ from the Old Testament, Sidney Greidanus offers expert guidance for busy pastors on preaching Christ from Psalms. Beginning with a general introduction on how pastors can interpret and preach from the biblical psalms -- and why they should -- Greidanus proceeds by discussing twenty-two psalms in the Revised Common Lectionary, Year A, supplying the building blocks necessary to preach from Psalms at Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, and other major days and seasons of the church year. In addition to laying out basic homiletical-theological approaches suitable for each selected psalm, these chapters also provide verse-by-verse exposition, bridges to Christ in the New Testament, and ideas for placing the psalmist's words into contemporary context.

I wrote In Due Season during the time I was single and desired to be married. I exercised every day by walking, and one day I asked God, aEURoeWhen will I meet the man that I will be married to?aEUR I prayed and stood on the scriptures faithfully that one day I will be married, and I heard God say, aEURoeWhen it is due season.aEUR I wrote down what He said about due seasons. I applied what I heard, and I waited. Several months after, I met the man who is now my husband. I thought about my sisters (and brothers) in the family of God who might benefit from the advice that was given to me, and I was inspired to write In Due Season. As I was writing what God had said to me, I included other topics. Hopefully, you will be encouraged by what God has said and revealed to me to help me in my Christian walk. This includes how to stand on His promises, how to overcome spiritual storms, and how to stand on His Word and see His blessings. The topics covered explain my experiences in life and how I came to realize victory through the storms; and I am no longer overcome by fear, worry, and doubt. My hope is that the readers of this book will know that God loves you, and He is not a respecter of persons and that you also may receive victory in the challenges in your lives and be an overcomer. The word of God says, aEURoeAnd they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimonyaEUR (Revelation 12:11). I give glory to God for all the good things that He has done and for the blessings that will be poured out to you and transform your life. aEURoeFor I know the plans I have for you,aEUR says the Lord. aEURoeThey are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.aEUR (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 NLT)
