The Way Of The King
First Lesson Sermons For After Pentecost (First Third), Cycle B
Charles Curley

"Somewhere within each of us is a great hunger, a great empty space which will never be filled until we identify it correctly. It is a hunger for God," writes Charles Curley. "Nothing else can fill the emptiness which that hunger creates."

The 10 sermons in this book are based on First Lesson texts primarily from Isaiah and 2 Samuel. The sermons follow the Revised Common Lectionary.

"Whom shall I send?" God still says to us. I truly believe that the "yes" is within each of us, yearning to break through. I believe that the potential to say yes to God does exist within each of us.... That one little moment is worth a lifetime. That moment is what we are made for. "Here am I send me." (from the Trinity Sunday sermon)

Charles Curley is senior pastor of University Presbyterian Church in Rochester Hills, Michigan. He is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary, New York City, and was pastor of several churches in New York before moving to Michigan.
