I Love to Preach the Story Cycle A

<p>Each week pastors must come up with a sermon to feed their congregations. For those who follow the <em>Revised Common Lectionary</em> the text selected to preach on is most often the Gospel. Svanoe has written a book encouraging pastors to explore other parts of the lectionary. During the summer months in year A the lectionary provides an alternative first reading a semi-continuous journey through the stories of origin in the Hebrew Bible. These stories are endlessly fascinating and provide rich homiletical territory for preachers. Preaching a summer series on these stories can help to build interest and continuity throughout the summer. </p><p>This book is one in a three-part series detailing years A B & C of the <em>Revised Common Lectionary</em>. This first book shares Stories of Origin from Genesis; Year B will focus on the Kings of Israel and Lessons of Leadership. In Year C the Hebrew prophets are our guide in A Summer of Prophet Sharing.</p>
