our study in Luke and how it is progressing and
developing.

October 5 Luke 8:1-21 -- The work of the Word
October 12 Luke 8:22-56-- Wonder-working power

Sermon Texts for September 2008

Happy
Labor Day, everyone. Here are the sermon texts for
the month of September, with the continuation of the
series on the Lord’s Supper, and then resuming Luke.
One thing to note: as we move through the fall (even starting in September, though I certainly hope this won’t be the case then), you should take these published texts with a grain of salt. Chances are, the schedule might change last-minute if Marcie should go into labor and the twins arrive. I’m planning to have some guys in the Presbytery “on call” to pinch-hit for me should I need it.
UPDATE: I made a slight adjustment to the last text.
September 7 1 Corinthians 11:23-34 -- What is the Lord’s Supper? Part 3: How is it?
September 14 Luke 7:1-17 -- Great power and humble faith
September 21 Luke 7:18-35 -- Following a prepared path
September 28 Luke 7:36-50 -- How great is the debt?

In

wrapping up the Sermon on the Plain (Luke’s version
of the Sermon on the Mount). During that break we’ll
work through a three-part series looking at the
Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.
UPDATE: I’ve adjusted the schedule to reflect Bruce Farrant’s sermon from last Sunday.
Here are the texts for August:
August 3 Luke 6:37-42 -- Dealing with others’ faith
August 10 Luke 6:43-49 -- Dealing with your own faith

Sermon texts for May 2008

May
brings two significant changes in our preaching
schedule: first, we will finish the series on the
cross on the first Sunday, so after that we will
return to Luke and begin the discussion of Jesus'
public ministry. Second, we finish out the liturgical
season of Easter, which spans the 50 days following
the resurrection, and have Pentecost and then the
"ordinary days" that follow. (I'll blog more about
these seasons soon.)
So, for the month of April, here are the
5/4/08: Romans 5:1-11 -- The cross and our suffering, the cross and our glory (last Sunday of Easter; "Ascension Sunday")
5/11/08: Luke 4:14-30 -- Setting the agenda for a new community (Pentecost)
5/18/08: Luke 4:31-44 -- Putting his words to work: Jesus and the new agenda (1st Sunday after Pentecost)
5/25/08: Luke 5:1-11 -- Calling in the next generation of leaders: Jesus appoints his disciples (2nd Sunday after Pentecost)
