The Abingdon Preaching Annual 2024 provides lectionary-based ideas, insights, and inspiration for sermons each week of the year. This helpful resource is written and compiled by every-week preachers who understand the joys and pressures of the task. Their aim is to come alongside you, offering a reliable starting point for your sermonic planning, writing, and delivery. Each weekly entry offers a commentary on one or more of the week's texts, exploring themes and storylines, theological reflections, and thoughts about how the text and topic relate to our lives today. Also included are ideas for bringing the text to life-stories, illustrations, ideas for further reading, questions the preacher might pose to the congregation, and suggestions for a "call to action" in response to the message. Special days like Maundy Thursday and Ash Wednesday are included. A scripture index and a thematic index provide further assistance. Each week's material is accessible, practical, relatable, and relevant.
