Practically Preaching:
When Did We See You?
Sermons for the Year A٠Matthew
by The Rev. Edwin D. Peterman

With the publication of "When Did We See You?", Sermons for the Year A - Matthew, sermons for the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary used by most churches is complete. Each volume contains a sermon for every Sunday and major festival in the Church Year, 66 sermons in all. The sermons for each book were selected from the preaching of Pastor Peterman from 1968 to the present.

The Revised Common Lectionary is a cycle of Bible texts that repeats every three years, beginning on the First Sunday in Advent.

• Year A - Matthew - begins in 2004, 2007, 2010, etc.

• Year B - Mark - begins in 2005, 2008, 2011, etc.

• Year C - Luke - begins in 2006, 2009, 2012, etc.

While most pastors do not simply copy other sermons word for word, they can nevertheless often discover from what others have preached fresh insights into biblical texts and illustrations that prove helpful in preparing their own sermons. It is hoped that the sermons in this series of Practically Preaching will be of help to clergy as they undertake the vital task of preaching the Gospel faithfully to their congregations.

For laity, the sermons in these three volumes offer the opportunity to reflect on biblical texts and better understand their meaning. The index in each book provides references to specific topics as well, so that interest in a particular subject can be readily pursued.

The Foreword is written by Lucky K. Sahualla, vice-president of Jones McClure Publishing Company.

A complete set of all three volumes may be purchased for $50, which is $10 less than if purchased individually. These books make wonderful and inspiring gifts at Christmas or at any time of the year.
