EXTRA! sermons for May 2009 - Building Lasting Relationships (Based on the Old Testament book of Ruth)
by Jerry Gifford

Pastor's EXTRA! is designed to help you build a worship experience around the same theme used in the "Adult Bible Studies for Life," a popular small-group Bible study curriculum.

Sermons for January 2009. Series title: "Lean Times" (by Pastor Andy Cook)

Series summary: Millions of Americans find themselves facing the greatest struggles of their lives today, squeezed financially by rising energy costs, rising unemployment rates, fears of a national recession – or even a depression. The housing market has changed dramatically, dramatic stock market losses have taken huge bites out of once-healthy retirement accounts, and credit that was once easily obtained is suddenly in a lock-down mode. In addition, a new presidential administration means more change is on the way, and no one is certain where the change will lead. It adds up to a shocking new way of life: These are “Lean Times.”
