Christ came to set God's people free from disobedience, disease, and death -- and each of the miracle events was not a ""faith-healing"" but rather a battle won, in which Jesus provided a cure from something for something. That's the compelling theme of this fascinating study of ten miracle stories from the Gospel of Mark featured in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. Whether you're a busy pastor, church school teacher, discussion leader, or just an interested Bible student, There Are Demons In The Sea offers valuable and superbly organized background information -- Hoefler's scholarship, perceptive insight, and potent illustrative material make this volume an invaluable aid to preaching preparation or scriptural study. Chapter titles include: * The Gordian Knot - Mark 1:21-28 * The Miracle Of Forgiveness - Mark 2:1-12 * There Are Demons In The Sea - Mark 4:35-41 * The Good Grocer - Mark 6:30-44 * An Exile Of Silence Set Free - Mark 7:31-37 ... and more! Richard Carl Hoefler is a former Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Preaching and Worship at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina. The author of ten books, Hoefler is a graduate of Wittenberg University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Oxford University.

And He Told Them A Story - Background On The Parables deals with the eleven parables from Luke used in Series C of the lectionary, and in fact cross references to the specific Sunday. The chapters, while not sermons, are discussions concerned with presenting the preaching values of the parables. Hoefler summarizes the best of contemporary commentary on these texts and provides illustrations and suggestions for preacher, teacher, and layperson.
