Prime for the Pump

About the Book

Prime for the Pump is a resource for teachers, preachers, and believers of every age and from all walks of life. It is based on the premise that no matter how faithful, we all experience dry spells in our spiritual lives. At such times, stories and sermons such as these can provide what you need to “prime the pump” and get the creative juices flowing again.
The biblical truths contained in Prime for the Pump serve as catalysts for sermon and lesson preparation, daily devotions in the home, and lively discussions in your bible study group.
Insights you’ll find include:
• “The path of Jesus is not a path that can be plotted and charted on a map and defined by a system of religion and theology. His way can only be found in the experience of looking in faith to Him and trusting His Spirit to lead the way, one step at a time.”
• “As followers of Jesus, we are members of God’s great family of faith by adoption As such, the least we can do is love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ and live in such a way as to become “the spitting image” of our Father.
• “Turning to Jesus gives us the strength and willing heart we need to help others bear the burdens of life.”
• “To see the light of the cross is to know the promise of new life in Jesus Christ ever calling you home.”
