100 Devotions for Pastors and Church Leaders – Ideas and Inspiration for Your Sermons, Lessons, Church Events, Newsletters, and Web Sites

"God does not ask much of us when we first come into contact with Him in our deep need. But He does insist that we have some grasp on the Christ, the Comforter, and the cross. That will see us through." --From the devotion "An Almost Empty Barrel" on 1 Kings 17:8-16 "The healing of the body is part of the tidal wave of blessing that comes to us by way of the cross. Our resurrection bodies will be immune to sin and suffering. They will be like Christ's glorious body, beyond the reach of disease, disaster, death, and decay." --From the devotion "By His Stripes We Are Healed" on Isaiah 53:5 Well known as "one of God's great Bible teachers," John Phillips here offers eloquent devotions on the most important events and characters in both the Old and New Testaments. In typical Phillips fashion, the truth of Scripture is vividly communicated, providing readers with ideal meditations for personal or church wide use. John Phillips taught in the Moody Evening School and on the Moody Broadcasting radio network. He is the author of numerous books, including a multivolume expository commentary series and the titles A View from Mount Calvary and Jesus Our Lord.
