Drawing on the rich imagery of rocks and stones in Scripture, these powerful messages center around the compelling metaphor of stones (and our willingness to throw them) as representative of our sins. As worshipers enter the sanctuary they are invited to pick up stones as a concrete symbol of each sermon's theme and then as the message concludes the stones are placed at the foot of the cross. When the stones disappear at Easter (just like the stones sealing Jesus' tomb), it's a vivid illustration of how the Lord removes our stones of sin. Each chapter includes several thought provoking discussion questions to spur further reflection. With messages for Ash Wednesday, five weeks of Lent, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, this is an excellent resource for Lenten midweek programing.
