Quotations on (Super)abundance.

By Jin Hee Han

As our new issue on SUPERABUNDANCE comes to light, the fall season is firmly in place. It is the time of harvest with the bountiful gifts of heaven. Superabundance is a generous giver that gives without expecting anything in return. We are charged to be good stewards of the good news of the reign of God, from whom superabundance flows.

Here are useful quotations from Scripture and Literature for pastors and others seeking reinforcement for a point or perhaps even a sermon title or idea—no permissions needed for use.

This issue is packed with insights about the important theme of steadfast love. It translates the Hebrew ḥesed. Such a tiny term with a gigantic gist! Our readers will also detect the joy that our writers have embedded in their reflections on steadfast love. This fall issue of The Living Pulpit blesses our journey of faith as well as the time of our morning devotion when we start the day with hunger for the signs of God’s steadfast love in our daily life.
