The Abingdon Preaching Annual 2022: Planning Sermons for Fifty-Two Sundays
The local pastor’s go-to resource for weekly sermon and worship
planning. Each week’s entry consists of two pages, face-to-face.
The pages include:
1. Preaching Themes -Fleshed out with brief, pithy nuggets of
thought, idea jump-starters, or questions
•These are designed to spur the preacher’s imagination and sermon
development process
•They will offer fresh, intriguing ideas
•They will point the reader/preacher in a good direction; the
reader takes it from there
2. Secondary or Parallel Themes -2 or 3 themes or streams of
thought that are related to but separate from the primary theme
offered. These might arise from different parts of the lectionary
text. This may also include questions, or alternative ways of
thinking about the primary theme.
3. Worship Helps •Gathering Prayer •Collect, Pastoral Prayer,
Congregational Prayer, Responsive Reading, or some other liturgical
element •Closing Prayer or Benediction
Homiletical Topic Essays (3)
These 700-word essays cover a variety of current and critical
topics for the preacher. Each essay focuses on one particular
topic. Topics could include the practice of preaching, sermon
writing, current issues for the preacher, emerging trends in
preaching, and emerging ideas or cultural trends that are important
for the church and preacher. Essays are contributed by leading
homileticians.
Sermon Series Ideas
This section will briefly outline and describe ideas for unique
sermon series based on lectionary readings. Most if not all of
these will come from non-NT texts, helping preachers to include a
wider range of scripture in their preaching. (Many pastors preach
primarily from NT passages almost exclusively.)
