Sermons for Special Days (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780788027857)

David Rogne's Sermons for Special Days presents a wonderful opportunity for pastors and congregations to connect faith to their everyday lives. The unique aspect of Rogne's collection of sermons is that they are not confined to the pulpit, for each sermon can be used in a small group setting or in private devotionals. Rogne's reliance upon history, literature, and scripture will enlighten any student of the word, and each sermon will encourage congregations to embrace a dig-deep approach toward God's truth.

Some of the sermons for special days included in this book are:
Charles Wesley -- Heritage Sunday (Psalm 100)
Something New -- Maundy Thursday (John 13:34)
Does God Have a Word for You! -- Bible Sunday (2 Timothy 3:14-17)
Say It with Music -- Music/Choir Recognition (Ephesians 5:17-20)
Communion by the Sea -- World Communion Sunday (John 6:5-15, 25-35)
When the Good Times Roll -- Thanksgiving Day (Deuteronomy 8:11-18)
Are You Ready for Christmas? -- Christmas Eve (Titus 2:11-15)

While Rogne has designed his sermons to be delivered on special days -- New Year's Day, Mission Sunday, and Father's Day, to name a few -- the power of each sermon extends well beyond those events as Rogne reminds us that in order to live a life well lived, we must constantly examine the life we are living.
