It is said that life is what happens when you are making other plans. If so, those that gather in the middle of a potato field in a small Baptist chapel in Tenthill in rural Queensland, Australia have had a lot of life interfere with their plans. They have had to deal with whatever nature, circumstances, and the Lord himself seems to hurl at them. These are real sermons addressed to real people to address real situations. The messages touched hearts when they were preached, and you should find them refreshing and encouraging as you deal with life and your plans for the future. The subjects could not be more diverse, including drought; untimely death; the temple of Artemis in Ephesus; appointing pastors, elders, and deacons; and the author's love of colorful shirts. Yet all speak of the gospel of the love, faithfulness, and forgiveness of Jesus. There will be messages you love inside. They are different from any preaching you are used to.
“This book contains a truly wonderful collection of sermons written by a layman Bible student and given to real people encountering real circumstances. These sermons are simple, heartwarming explanations of how God and Jesus can act in people’s lives in good times and tough times and provide us with strength and hope in a time in world history that can be disheartening and confusing. Here we find loving and tender advice presented in a memorable and accessible way.”
