Great Characters of the Bible - CCS by Clarence E Macartney and published by Classics Publishing.
As a master of biographical preaching, Dr. Clarence Macartney takes well-known and not-so-well-known characters from both the Old and New Testaments and discovers valuable lessons in their stories. Included in this volume are sermons on:
“The Man Who Forgot” - The Chief Butler
“The Destiny of Jesus” - Simeon
“Ruined by Prosperity” - Uzziah
“Mortal Error, Immortal Truth”- Herod the Great
In examining Herod the Great, Dr. Macartney observes, “Sometimes this conflict between Herod and Jesus is localized in a single heart. Each one of us has within him a natural Herod who is opposed to Christ. He waits to resist in us every influence of God's Holy Spirit. But greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” These sermons contain a wealth of illustrations and quotations that will deepen the reader's insight and appreciation of biblical truth and, will provide the pastor and speaker with a thought-provoking resource for sermon preparation.
