Not Exactly What They Expected: And Other Sermons for Holy Week and Easter - Paperback

by Al Hill (Author)

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the bedrock fact of the Christian faith. And though it was proclaimed with power by His first followers after the fact, at the time, it was not exactly what they expected. The same is true for the enemies of Jesus, those who arrested Him after He left His Last Supper and arranged for His crucifixion on that Friday before the Passover feast began. They had not expected the Resurrection at all. In fact, just about everything involving Jesus leading up to-and including-His Resurrection was not exactly what the people present expected, whether they were for Him or against Him. Not Exactly What They Expected is a collection of almost thirty sermons preached on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. It may be exactly what you would expect of Holy Week and Easter sermons-or it may not. But whatever you expect of the sermons, the Subject of these sermons will exceed your every expectation.
