WELCOME

In this age, the problem of evil never goes away, and so strong sermons that address the problem well are precious indeed. Gordon Conwell Seminary professor Jeffrey Arthurs gives us all a gift with his message, grounded in Habakkuk: What to Do When Your Fig Tree Doesn't Blossom.

This week we also feature:

• Featured Sermon Series: Discovering God (part two), by Dan Meyer
• Featured Illustration: A Lesson on True Success from Charlotte's Web
• Video Illustration: Veterans Day Honors

Preaching Christ,

P.S. Next week watch for a number of illustrations with a thanksgiving theme. But this week we feature some excellent thanksgiving-related stories in our News That Illustrates. Not only will you find inspiring, fresh content for preaching, but also for quickening your own sense of gratitude to the God who is good beyond our wildest imagination.
