Sermon Treks: Trailways to Creative Preaching
The lectionary is a helpful homiletical tool. But there are times when lectionary preaching does not meet a congregation’s needs. Sermon Treks offers preachers and students an invigorating selection of new sermon-planning trails, for use as sermon series or for single sermons.
The options presented here are practical and theologically responsible. Some are rooted in ancient forms of proclamation; others are new. All provide clear but creative guidance for the preacher, and a path that will lead to more effective sermons.
Summarizes each approach, indicating its theological strengths and witnesses, and discussing purposes, seasons, and occasions for turning to different starting points Provides examples of other kinds of lectionaries, of affirmations of faith (and other doctrinal formulations), and of sermon series.
Offers the preacher a critical introduction to (or review of) the major starting points in sermon preparation Provides a guilt free alternative for lectionary-trained preachers to consider other options.
