Something's Coming...Something Great!

Like Isaiah of old, those who trust in the promise of God's coming kingdom know that history must have an ending, and that God must be a part of that ending! Those who trust in the promise of God's coming kingdom are able to see the advance signs that, even now, something is about to happen. (from the sermon "Something's Coming") The seventeen sermons in this book are based on First Lesson texts, primarily from Isaiah. They follow the Revised Common Lectionary. "I am grateful... for this opportunity to rediscover the excitement and anticipation of the Old Testament writers as they stood on tiptoe, waiting for God to act on the state of human history," writes Robert A. Beringer. "Although each of these chapters is based on an Old Testament text, I have tried to make these messages Christ-centered in every way." Robert A. Beringer is pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Metuchen, New Jersey. He is author of two other CSS books The Easter People and Batteries Not Included. He is a graduate of Cornell University and Princeton Theological Seminary.
