The Texts We Walked Past, Volume I: Lessons 1–6

THE TEXTS WE WALKED PAST

VOLUME I: LESSONS 1–6

Some Bible passages are overlooked because their names, settings, or details seem unfamiliar. Yet the texts we hurry past may contain the very truth the church needs for the present hour.

Drawing from more than fifty-seven years of preaching, teaching, and pastoral ministry, Dr. John W. Edmerson returns to six often-overlooked passages and allows each text to speak with clarity, authority, and practical relevance.

Volume I includes:

• When the Bible Changed Languages — Daniel 2:4b–23

• Search the Archives — Ezra 5:6–6:12

• Talitha Koum: Little Girl, Get Up — Mark 5:35–43

• Ephphatha: Be Opened — Mark 7:31–37

• A Mother Who Would Not Leave the Bodies — 2 Samuel 21:1–14

• They Wanted His Vineyard — 1 Kings 21:1–29

Each lesson provides:

• A complete Sunday sermon manuscript

• A Wednesday companion Bible study

• Historical, cultural, and biblical-language background

• Discussion questions and teacher guidance

• Responsible interpretive guardrails

• Pastoral applications for the church and contemporary culture

These lessons are unusual, but they are not novel. They invite readers to walk back, slow down, and listen carefully to passages they may once have passed by.

“We walked back to the texts we once passed—and found that God had been waiting there with truth for the church and hope for the world.”
