The King is coming, and he is going to reward all those who are rich in the land,' declared the King's messenger one winter's day. Greedy Squirrel was determined to get the reward and started stashing nuts and acorns all over the wood. In the process he made fun of the creatures who shared what they had instead of selling it, and he ignored those who needed shelter or food, including a poor beggar man. Finally spring arrived and the King commanded all his subjects to appear before him to get their reward...The story is based on Matthew 25:40 'I tell you the truth. Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. About John Stewart These beautifully crafted illustrations and carefully constructed stories charm and inspire on many levels. John Stewart delivers a powerful gospel message with a delicate touch.

'Relationships deepen through meaningful communication, and our relationship with the living God who created us will only develop and grow if we are in frequent communication with him.' Thus Susan Sayers offers her prayers with the hope that they will become the starting point which enables you to carry on praying in your own words, pouring out to God who both loves and listens whatever is on your mind or in your heart. There are acts of praise and wonder, thanksgiving and love, springing from ordinary, everyday work and relationships, and the real world we all inhabit. There are expressions of grief and pain, confusion and disappointment, which are just as important to bring to God as the good times and the moments of spiritual uplift. And there are frameworks for intercession which you can use daily as you pray for your church, your community, and the needs of the world.

Jesus' cries from the cross offer lasting hope to all who look to him. They were, and still are, famous last words!Death, not space, is the final frontier. It takes no prisoners. There is no reprieve for good behaviour. Money can't buy a way out. Its shadow looms over all humanity. Shrouded in mystery, the thought of it leaves most of us overwhelmed with fear. If the short-sighted solution is not to think about it, is there anyone who has faced death, lived to tell the tale and can show us the way through?For centuries the words of one man have given lasting hope to all those facing the ultimate challenge that death poses. His name is Jesus. The Bible says that God sent him to set free all those who were overwhelmed by their fear of death. He claimed that anyone who put their trust in him, and in what he said, would never die. Over the centuries, since he made that promise, millions of people have taken him at his word.Were they right to do so? Can we? Especially as, bizarrely, not long after Jesus made that statement he himself died, crucified on a Roman cross! My conviction is yes.In the six hours it took for him to die, Jesus didn't say much. Yet what he did say was profound. His seven 'cries from the cross' provide answers to humanity's deep need for forgiveness, security and belonging. They fill the human heart with confidence, that when we close our eyes on this life God will take us home. To prove that he meant what he said, Jesus rose from the dead.

A short and sweet sermon is a concise, encouraging word about a Bible passage that has come up in the readings of the day. Lightweight sermons are meant to be brief, with a punch and usually just one main message. These hundred small sermons are a write-up from memory of sermons that were first given live to a congregation, so they are somewhat more formal than the original spoken word.The idea of publishing these sermons is first of all for the reader to enjoy them and perhaps see the relevant Scripture passage in a new light. A minister or preacher may wish to borrow a thought or a prayer, or the whole sermon and use it with another congregation.Bible quotations are limited to one or at the most two for each short sermon, although there are usually several more unmarked Bible references in each. Included at the back of the book are an index of Scripture references and a thematic index to aid study.
