A sermonic approach to ministry for a church in transition. Featuring sermons that were preached in a congregation between the season of Easter and Christmas during an interim season of pastoral transition, this book gives attention to the church’s need for renewed leadership, exploring the nature of church for a new day, while honoring its history and reminding the congregation of the content of Christian teaching, while moving forward into a new future. Includes commentary by the author about various pertinent features in the sermons, particularly in the context of an urban Latino/a church. Also available in Spanish as an ebook edition!
