Facing The Future With Hope Cycle B

One of the enduring legacies of the Revised Common Lectionary is its ability to draw different parts of scripture together to form a coherent narrative, drawing congregations from around the world into the life-changing message of faith in Jesus Christ. Each element of the lectionary brings its own point of view into this message, giving us insights into its origins, the impact on its original hearers, as well as its relevance for our lives today. In the gospel message, we see the drama of Jesus’ life and ministry and are challenged to join in it.

Facing the Future with Hope is a collection of sermons that lives up to its title. Drawing on the gospel message in the Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany seasons, Richard Hasler brings readers to the joyous anticipation and celebration of this part of the Christian worship calendar. Hasler translates the joyful, anxious expectation of the coming king in Bethlehem to our Christian walk today, demonstrating how we can maintain that walk with hope and contentment.
