This coming Sunday, I’ll preach the third in our six part sermon series: “Six Practices of Fruitful Living.” The book study on Five Practices of Fruitful Living  by Robert Schnase (on which the sermon series is loosely based) will begin on the first Thursday during Lent, February 23, 2012, at 6:30 pm. Books are available in the main lobby (the cost to the church was a little over $12) and we hope to see you there.

Both of us have found this book to be an excellent overview of the Christian life. Our only hesitation in recommending it is that it will be the third book in a row that has talked about financial stewardship (the fifth practice is “Extravagant Generosity). Our hesitation is not for the topic, or the way the book addresses the topic (Schnase does so very well), but rather simply that this is the third book study in a row that has talked about it.
