About this ebook

One of the most comprehensive lectionary preaching resources available, the Lectionary Preaching Workbook is the one tool you will want to have close at hand to help you get the most out of every minute you spend preparing your Sunday sermon. This completely revised and updated volume provides you with a host of practical aids for effectively proclaiming God's Word. In addition to theological reflections on the three lessons for each Sunday, each chapter also explores a theme for the day (including a prayer and a suggested hymn) and outlines numerous preaching options. You'll also find a handy, easy-to-use Sermon Planner template to facilitate the process of building your sermon.

- an introduction to Matthew's gospel

- a listing of applicable Revised Common, Roman Catholic, and Episcopal lectionary texts
- commentary on each Sunday's Old Testament, New Testament, and Gospel lessons
- theological reflections to help you explore the relationships among all the texts
