Focus on Jesus!

Cycle C Sermons for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany Based on the Gospel Texts
  • By Derl Keefer
$18.29
Product Description

Every time Rev. Derl G. Keefer preaches a Christmas sermon, he asks himself the same question. Why did Jesus come to earth?


It's the question that Jesus' earthly parents, Mary and Joseph, must have asked themselves over and over. They struggled to understand why, when he was 12 years old, he would leave their care to join the scholars of the temple.


His answer served to refocus his own parents on who he really was."Did you not know," he asked them, "that I must be about my Father's business?"


The 15 sermons contained in Focus on Jesus will provide four answers to the question of why he came by revealing the nature of the Father's business as described in the Gospel of Luke:

Jesus came to be the fulfillment of prophecy.

Jesus came to be our Messiah.

Jesus came to be our Savior.

Jesus came to be the human face of God.


This Advent season, utilize Keefer's clear, simple teaching style in Focus on Jesus to help those seeking Jesus understand who he is, and to reignite the passion that first brought members of your congregation into his arms.


Rev. Derl Keefer pastored in the Church of the Nazarene for over 30 years. He currently serves as the Adult Development Ministries Coordinator for the Sunday School Ministries department at the Church of the Nazarene Global Ministry Center. He received his B.A. in Religion from Southern Nazarene University and his M.Div from Nazarene Theological Seminary. His other books include Let's Get Committed, Wedding Sermons and Marriage Ceremonies, and Open Doors.
