A Call to a Higher Standard

Mark 10:2-13

19th Sunday after Pentecost

October 07, 2012

The Rev. Dr. Wiley Stephens (UMC)

Have you ever questioned how a preacher selects the Scripture for a given Sunday on which to base the sermon?  One way is to follow what is called a lectionary.  Though the lectionary may vary some between denominations, several follow the Revised Common Lectionary.  But whatever form is followed, the lectionary is a powerful discipline for one to follow in preaching.  For those not familiar with the lectionary, it is a scheduling of Scripture lessons for each Sunday of the year, moving in most churches on a three-year rotation.  Why do I say it is a powerful discipline for those who will preach and those who will listen?  It means that most pulpits in a given community are dealing with the same passage of Scripture on a given Sunday.  It means an effort such as Day One, which represents the traditions of several denominations, can start each Sunday from a common base.

In fact, I've about decided that the nature of what I do in ministry is trouble." There was an awkward silence. He gave me one of those funny looks, as if to say, "I'm sorry I brought it up." And then he turned and left.
