A treasury of powerful sermons challenges placid pew sitters to become enthusiastic followers of Christ. Uniquely contemporary and solidly based on God's word, these messages-delivered by one of today's seasoned preachers-urge Christians to put Christ first in their daily lives. According to Dr. Ellis' message, "You can go anywhere from nowhere," there is nothing wrong with starting from the bottom or the lowest social stratum in society. You can rise from humble beginnings to become whatever you set your heart and mind to. "When you know who you are, your 'in look' shapes your 'outlook,' and your 'outlook' shapes your 'outcome.'" Beginning with the significance of the Christian life, these sermons offer fresh approaches to preaching for celebrations of the Christian year. They explore topics such as growing in the Christian faith, seeking God's Spirit for renewal, and reliving the importance of Holy Communion, as well as the celebrations of Christmas and Easter
