A sermon preparation reflection published on September 26, 2021, for zion-episcopal-church-washington.

The author (System Admin) reflects on the process of preparing a sermon by meditating on the weekly lectionary readings. The author notes a frequent tension between choosing the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and New Testament (Gospels) texts, as both contain rich history and teaching moments. For this Sunday, the author focuses primarily on the Hebrew Bible reading from the First Book of Kings, after offering brief initial reflections on the Gospel of John.

Key Themes

  • Lectionary Meditation: The spiritual practice of reading and meditating on scripture in preparation for Sunday liturgy.
