What Do You Say to a Burning Bush?

Many who preach from the lectionary are drawn to the gospel for their sermon focus. Yet Steve Burt's alluring treatment of these first lesson texts will stimulate the desire to proclaim the captivating tales drawn from these Old Testament lessons. In many ways it is easier for the contemporary hearer to identify with these Old Testament characters. They are less perfect, approachable, very human in their faith struggles and in many respects much like us.
