Scott Bruzek has served the church faithfully for over three decades. In this volume his colleagues and former students honor him with a collection of sermons preached throughout the church year and on many special occasions. They have been preached across the globe to congregations large and small, and in seminary and university chapels. These sermons are meant to inspire the next generation of pastors and church leaders to reflect on the beauty of the Lord, as he is present with us when he gathers us in his house as his very body.
