Ebooks Online

Preachers get the best of lectionary and topical series preaching with this comprehensive manual of sermon series ideas based on the Revised Common Lectionary. Designed to frame consecutive weeks of lectionary texts into seasonal and short-term series, a diverse group of twelve preachers outline multiple thematic series plans for each lectionary year. Each series plan provides a series overview, chart that outlines each segment of the series, tips and ideas, scriptural references, and a brief sermon starter. The series honors holy days and seasons and responds to typical patterns of church attendance, maximizing visitor retention and member engagement. Pastors can honor their commitment to lectionary preaching while taking advantage of the benefits series preaching can offer with this truly unique resource.Contributors include:Theresa Cho, Pastor of St. John s Presbyterian Church, San Francisco, CaliforniaBob Dannals, Rector of St. Michael s and All Angels Episcopal Church, Dallas, TexasMagrey R.

I am so glad I purchased this book. I am currently interviewing for my first pastoral positions and have been overwhelmed by all the things I will need to get organized when I take my first call. Like all pastors, I want to start off strong. This book takes the best of both worlds by compiling lectionary texts into current and engaging sermon series. I love how the series not only move people to action but also help develop biblical literacy. Also, the series are very adaptable and can be easily modified or even used by someone who does not prefer the lectionary. I hope this group of contributors continues to work together and create more resources in the future. This book is a must for all pastors but especially pastors in the early years of their career.
