Sermon Starters

All preachers benefit from infusions of fresh ideas on biblical texts. Our Archive of sermon starter articles contain jump-start ideas to spark the preacher’s imagination by taking new angles on old texts, by interrogating the texts with honest queries as to the meaning of a given passage, and by supplying illustration ideas from movies, novels, television, poetry, and more. The Archive follows the Revised Common Lectionary across its three-year cycle and can be sorted by Lectionary placement or by the texts themselves in all four weekly Lectionary selections of Gospel, Old Testament, Psalm, and Epistle.
