Faith and Duty: Sermons on Free Texts, with Reference to the Church-Year

"Faith and Duty: Sermons on Free Texts, with Reference to the Church-Year" by L. B. (Louis Balthaser) Buchheimer is a compilation of religious speeches from the early 1900s, explaining the Christian religion and how it relates to the Church calendar, focusing on important Christian ideas and being part of a church. The sermons look at moral and spiritual duties using stories from the Bible, pushing believers to actively practice their beliefs. The book starts by talking about Advent, using Noah's Ark as a symbol for the Christian Church. Rev. Buchheimer talks about God’s want for salvation with sin all around and highlights how important it is to join the Church, comparing it to the Ark as a safe place. He connects Bible stories to modern Christian life, asking churchgoers to think about their own faith and how being a member of the church is needed for spiritual safety and growth.
