If we want to know how God will treat the Christian Church, we must look at how God treated the ancient people of Israel. That's the premise of Harry Huxhold's seventeen messages based on First Lesson texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, which demonstrate that the word and sacrament of Christian worship are as fresh as the promises of hope, providence, salvation, grace, and steadfast love that God first shared with humanity millennia ago.

Titles include:
- Days of Promise (Jeremiah 33:14-16)
- The Child of Promise (Isaiah 9:2-7)
- The Promise of Baptism (Isaiah 43:1-7)
- The Fruit of Forgiveness (Genesis 45:3-11, 15)
- Keeping the Glow On (Exodus 34:29-35)
... and more!
