This is the Day!: Sermons for Lent and Easter based on the Second Lessons for Cycle A - Paperback

The Resurrection was just the beginning.

But how do you keep faith on the long, dusty road of ordinary life, long after the Easter lilies have faded?

Author Kimberly van Driel suggests we are all "spiritual long-haulers," exploring the unvarnished stories of the early church from the Easter season through Pentecost. For Lectionary Year A, This Is The Day uncovers the "holy interruptions" in the book of Acts and the Gospel of Matthew, empowering us to move from fear to faithfulness.

Inside you'll find:

• Sermons for the long haul: Compelling messages on doubt ("Evidence of Things Unseen"), forgiveness ("Annoying Forgiveness"), and community.
• Guidance for Ordinary Time: A thoughtful exploration of Matthew and Acts for small groups and curious individuals.
• Hope for the weary: A spiritual companion to help you find God right where you are, long after the celebrations have ended.

The empty tomb isn't the end of the story-it's the start of the journey. This is the day to find God on the road ahead.
