Preaching Schedule

These are my upcoming messages. The only exception is for Christmas and Easter where I am thinking about moving towards homilies and those are on a different rotation of their own. Some of these as you can see are whole book, whereas others are from larger books broken up by stories. For instance with Genesis I went through the story of Adam, then Noah, and next will be Abraham and so on. For Matthew I went with Advent, then early ministry, the sermon on the mount, and will be going forward from there geographically (His ministry in Galilee, Perea, Judea, and Jerusalem). This should be over a couple years worth. I don’t put it down by date because I don’t know if I will get sick or what will come up. I also try to leave flexibility in case I feel the leading from the Spirit to do something else instead. Normally there isn’t a need to plan out this far in advance. Perhaps half of this would do just fine but with me being bivocational and working on my degree I have to have all my ducks in a row as best I can.
