2026 Lectionary Sermon Calendar
A 52-week roadmap through the church calendar, following Year A of the Revised Lectionary Calendar.
The King Has Come: An Advent And Christmas Series
How will we know the King when he comes? With so much entertainment and distraction surrounding us, how will the King meet our real needs? This eight-week series for the seasons of Advent and Christmas lifts up the promises of Scripture and the ways in which Jesus Christ is their fulfillment. Worshippers are invited to find lasting joy by following the newborn King.
Citizens of Heaven: An Epiphany Series
The Epiphany season is a time to reflect upon God’s revelation of himself in the person of Jesus Christ, with special attention given to various divine interventions and manifestations of the Spirit within the life and ministry of our Lord. This sermon series focuses on the nature of discipleship and what it means to be a citizen of the kingdom of heaven, a kingdom that Christ himself inaugurated in human history while on earth.
I Shall Not Want: A Lent Series
Lent is a period of forty days lasting from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. It is traditionally understood as a time of fasting and repentance, also commemorating Jesus’s fasting in the wilderness, which anticipated the beginning of his public ministry. During the season of Lent, we learn to rely on Christ for all our deepest needs. This eight-part series will bring this goal to the forefront.
The Dawn of Peace: An Easter Series
The Easter season celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the firstfruits of the renewal and redemption of all things in the eternity of God. The Christian hope is founded on this event, for, as Paul says, if Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is useless (1 Corinthians 15:17). This season looks forward to the consummation of the kingdom—a kingdom of peace, joy, and love. This eight-week series is designed to bring comfort and encouragement to people in the body of Christ.
Set Free: A Pentecost Series
This sermon series centers on Pentecost season. The day of Pentecost commemorates the defining moment in the history of the church when the apostles were filled with or baptized in the Spirit, in direct fulfillment of Jesus’s promise to his followers before he ascended into heaven. This event enabled the disciples to effectively carry out the Great Commission in the world. This series on Pentecost will emphasize the fact that we have been set free from the power of sin and are called to live new lives in Christ through the Spirit.
Word And Deed: Sharing The Good News
Using the Year A lectionary readings, this six-week series for part of Pentecost examines the work of the Holy Spirit in helping believers share who Jesus is and what he has done for us in word and in deed.
Walk Worthy: The Freedom of Discipleship
We have freedom in Christ, but our freedom is not an excuse for sin. We are called to imitate Jesus.
Endure: Pressing On Towards Christ
This eight-week series focuses on the lectionary readings from Pentecost. In these readings, the believer is encouraged to press on in their daily walk, like the Israelites did after the Exodus.
