I Love to Preach the Story, Cycle A

When summer approaches, one of the more mundane things preachers worry about is the slump in attendance and giving. For many churches, Sunday school is not in session. Weekend activities compete for family time. What can the church do to make summer worship more interesting?

Many pastors who are committed to the Revised Common Lectionary often preach on the gospel lesson. But pastors who have preached the three-year lectionary a few times around may be looking for other preaching material to pique their interest.

Svanoe has structured this book so that pastors could preach through Old Testament stories in a series format, engaging their congregations and including often skipped over stories. As an experienced pastor, Svanoe offers this book as an opportunity for pastors to focus on lessons often excluded from the Revised Common Lectionary.

This book is one of a three-part series by Svanoe, detailing years A, B, & C of the Lectionary. This first book shares Stories of Origin from Genesis; his other books will focus on Lessons of Leadership and A Summer of Prophet Sharing.
