Revised Common Lectionary
Gospel Sermons™ is
an on-line source for sermons in the Mainline Protestant and Mainline
Protestant liturgical traditions. Sermons are based on the widely
accepted Revised Common Lectionary
utilized by most Mainline Protestant Churches in the
English-speaking world, including, in the United States, The American
Baptist Church, The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), The
Christian Reformed Church in North America, The
Episcopal Church, The Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America, The Presbyterian Church in the USA and The United Methodist
Church.
RCL sermons on this site always reflect a
theology of grace. They focus on the Gospel
passage assigned for the particular Sunday, while also drawing on the
assigned Old Testament and the Epistle readings, as appropriate.
The sermons are
written with liturgical preaching in mind and are therefore relatively
short (10 to 12 minutes) and are strongly focused on the teaching point.
Subscriptions Are Now Free!
There is no charge at all for any of the material on this site.
If you just want to read the sermons, perhaps to give you an idea for
your sermon, or for inspiration, you can go directly to the next
Sunday's sermon or the sermon archives. If you want to download
and print the sermon, editing it, if you wish, in your word processor,
you must subscribe. Clicking on the "Subscribe" link, below, will
take you to the
subscription page. Sermons are provided in two formats, a pdf
file which you can copy into your word processor or as a Rich Text
Format File (rtf) which most word processors recognize. After you edit it,
you can save it as you would any other document.
