Captain Ron's Adventure from Death to Life: Sermons Preaching Faith Into Our Earballs, (Hardcover)

Pastor Ron Hodel (1955- 2022) knew two things intimately: the sea and the Word of God. As a sailor, he understood that the water that can drown you is the same water that carries you home. As a pastor and chaplain for 1517, he preached the same paradox: the Law that kills, and the Gospel that makes alive, both carried in the same Word. This collection gathers the sermons of Pastor Ron, beloved shepherd of his local parish, whose voice reached listeners through 1517's You Are Forgiven radio broadcast, where every sermon can still be heard as a podcast. For those who knew him, these pages will feel like sitting in the pew again -- hearing a man who trusted the Gospel enough to let it do the heavy lifting. In each sermon, Pastor Ron takes you on a journey from death to life -- a waypoint in the Church year, a particular Sunday, a particular text -- and yet the destination remains the same: the cross, the empty tomb, and the certain promise of forgiveness for sinners. For those meeting Pastor Ron for the first time -- welcome aboard.
