Here’s the truth. Outside of forays into Advent and Lent, I am rather unfamiliar with preaching from the lectionary. And yet, I feel an inexplicable draw to wade into these waters. Beginning with Baptism of the Lord Sunday, in early January.

So, my reading friends and fellow preachers, I could use your help. Please, let me know what your go-to resources are for preaching Year B. In my context I prepare the order of worship and preach weekly. Yes, I’m plunging into the deep end. Gladly.

What I’ve gathered up so far ~ Feasting on the Gospels: Mark, Feasting on the Word Worship Companion Year B, Connections: A Lectionary Commentary for Preaching and Worship Year B volume 1, A Preacher’s Guide to Lectionary Sermon Series, and of course I will regularly consult The Book of Common Worship.

“Living the Christian Year: Time to Inhabit the Story of God” by Bobby Gross, looks like a helpful resource for introducing the congregation to the church calendar and lectionary.
