Pastor Timothy M. Rainey’s “In All Things Our Hope Is In Him” turns a 14-part sermon series into biblical answers for life’s hardest moments
By SPEAKIN’ OUT NEWS
Fresh off celebrating his 30th anniversary as pastor of Indian Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Huntsville on October 2nd, Pastor Timothy M. Rainey is sharing his message with readers far beyond the sanctuary through his new book, “In All Things Our Hope Is In Him.”
The book collects sermons Rainey preached at Indian Creek in a 14-part series. It is published by WestBow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson and Zondervan.
The church celebrated the release with a book signing, where members and friends lined up to have their copies signed.
The book speaks to anyone facing hard times. “Nobody wants to live a defeated life,” the back cover reads. “All of us seek an existence that is joyful and peaceful.”
Rainey writes that life’s struggles can leave believers feeling that what comes against them will conquer them. Those are the moments, he writes, when God says, “Come to me.” The book points readers to biblical solutions and asks a central question: “What does God say about what I’m presently dealing with?”
Each chapter is designed to give readers “a special seat in the sanctuary,” where they can listen for what God is speaking to them, according to the cover. “There is no better time than now to live victorious lives,” it reads.
Rainey has been in pastoral ministry for 35 years, according to the book. He earned his Master of Divinity at Faith International University and Seminary.
For Indian Creek members, the pages will echo sermons they heard from the pew. For new readers, the book offers a pastor’s encouragement for seasons when tomorrow seems dim.
Where to buy: “In All Things Our Hope Is In Him” is available at the Indian Creek P.B. Church Bookstore on Wednesdays and Sundays only, and online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. ISBN: 979-8-3850-7712-0.
