Tend and Feed, Tend and Feed
Cycle C Sermons Based on the Gospel Lessons for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
John Jamison

Starting with Advent and going through Christmas and Epiphany, Tend and Feed asks us to take another look at some famous biblical stories, but this time to approach it from a different angle, as a disciple might. Jesus told his disciples to, “Tend and feed my sheep” (John 21:17) referring to God’s people. We are all God’s creation, no matter what walk of life we may follow. The sermons in Tend and Feed remind us to look for those that we can help every day, as the disciples would.

This book is a useful tool for sermons and teaching classes, as it retells Bible stories from the perspective of a first-century bystander. This alternate viewpoint makes for an enlightening lesson that sticks with the listeners.
