Stories to Live By

In offering these sermons to a wider readership, I am seeking to repay a debt. It is a large debt, because in many ways my Christian life has been shaped and enriched by sermons, beginning with the sermons I heard in the church in Glasgow where I grew up and where Dr Harry Thompson made scripture vividly alive. My indebtedness continues through the numerous occasions when I have been ministered to by the sermons of others, including published sermons—as many of my footnotes will demonstrate.
