Jesus and his kingdom are the focus of this seven-part preaching series for Lent and Easter Day. Thomas Pilgrim, a seasoned proclaimer and an effective parish pastor, brings the reader and the listener face-to-face with Jesus and his claims upon Christian disciples. Well illustrated and carefully outlined, Pilgrim's messages are appropriate for a Lenten Sunday or Lenten mid-week preaching series. Each message is accompanied by an appropriate and easy-to-tell children's object lesson.
The author develops the theme in this way:
The Master Has Come...
- To Proclaim God's Kingdom
- And Calls Disciples
- And Is Moved With Compassion
- To Build His Church
- And Is Calling For You
- To Face Jerusalem (Palm Sunday)
- To Be Lord of Life (Easter Day)
