On the Way with Jesus: Sermons for Lent and Easter Based on the Gospel Readings

In this collection of messages, we follow Jesus on the way to the cross, through the terrible events of his arrest, torture, and execution, to the glorious good news of his resurrection and joyful reunion with his followers, and beyond. We journey through the church year from Ash Wednesday through Lent and the Easter season, moving with the seasons as they change while holding on to the sure hope of God’s unchanging love. At the same time, we reflect on our own way through life - our twists and turns through the wilderness, our seasons of doubt and questioning, our times of lament and celebration. Whatever roads we travel, whatever choices we face at the crossroads of life, Jesus leads the way and calls us to follow. - from the introduction

On The Way With Jesus, based upon the gospel lessons for Cycle A of the Revised Common Lectionary, features the creative and descriptive writing style of April Yamasaki. The messages within can be used in a number of ways:

• sermon preparation
• meditation
• small group study
• personal devotions

• In The Wilderness
• Forgiven
• Facing Death
• With Burning Hearts
• Framed By Love
