Out of the Whirlwind

First Lesson Sermons for Sundays After Pentecost (Last Third), Cycle B

By: John A. Stroman

Writing on the lectionary texts from Job, Stroman deals with extremely contemporary issues. We discover in these messages that Job's struggles are the same as ours. The texts from Ruth and 1 Samuel introduce us to four important Old Testament women: Naomi, Orpah, Ruth, and Hannah. They all play an important role in the biblical narrative, as well as providing insight into vital current issues. Chapters include: - Taking the Good With the Bad -- (Job 1:1; 2:1-10) - Making Our Feelings Known -- (Job 23:1-9, 16-17) - The Tale of Three Women -- (Ruth 1:1-8) - God Remembers -- (1 Samuel 1:4-20) ... and more! John A. Stroman recently served as Lecturer in New Testament Studies at Trinity Theological College in Accra, Ghana (West Africa). Prior to that he was senior pastor of the 3,000-member Pasadena Community Church (United Methodist) in St. Petersburg, Florida. Stroman served as a United Methodist minister for 38 years in the Southern New Jersey and Florida Conferences. He also serves on the Florida Conference Board of Trustees, the Board of Directors of the Florida United Methodist Children's Home, and the Advisory Council of Bethune-Cookman College. He has written numerous articles in addition to his six books.

Pray in this Way

Sermons on the Lord's Prayer

By: John A. Stroman

For centuries, The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4) has persisted as Jesus' ideal. Even in times of radical change, The Lord's Prayer refuses to fade. In this book, Stroman shows readers that this timeless and familiar verse is contemporary because it covers nearly every relevent need that religious and irreligious people could bring to God.

Singing Mary's Song

An Advent Message of Hope and Deliverance

By: John A. Stroman

Soon after the angel Gabriel announced to Mary the astonishing news that she would bear the long-awaited Messiah, Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who was also expecting a child. As Mary greeted Elizabeth, the child in Elizabeth's womb (John the Baptist) leaped inside her. Elizabeth exclaimed to Mary, "God has blessed you among all women. Why do I have this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Mary responded by singing a song of praise to God, commonly known as the Magnificat. Her song, recorded in Luke 1:46-55, was not a sweet lullaby sung in anticipation of the baby Jesus' birth, Stroman says. Instead, it was a message of deliverance and hope. Mary's song proclaimed deliverance and hope to a dark and fearful world. It continues to bring challenge and hope to us today. Singing Mary's Song provides scripture readings, meditations, and prayers for each day of Advent. Each week's readings focus on various lines of Mary's song. Reflection questions are included each week. This Advent study will give you new insight into the life of Mary. Listen closely to Mary's song and discover its message for you today. A great study for individuals or groups!

These sermons lift up the themes of suffering, reconciliation, and the unmerited goodness of God extended to all through Jesus Christ.

He addresses a world where hatred and violence prevail with the message of divine love, which has enriched souls and kindled faith throughout the centuries. Titles include: - Beginning the Journey to Calvary (2 Corinthians 5:20b) - Once and for All (1 Peter 3:18a) - Promises -- Promises (Romans 4:21) - The Right Person for the Job (Hebrews 5:5-10) - Life -- And Then Some (1 John 5:9-13) John A. Stroman recently served as Lecturer in New Testament Studies at Trinity Theological College in Accra, Ghana (West Africa). Prior to that he was senior pastor of the 3,000-member Pasadena Community Church (United Methodist) in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Tongues of Fire

New Life in the Spirit

By: John A. Stroman

Stroman examines the patterns that came out of the experience of Pentecost and discovers what meaning they have today. He finds that it is not a question of the Holy Spirit's activity in our midst, but our awareness of where that activity is taking place.
