An Overview of the Sundays After Pentecost
Lectionary Preaching Workbook, SERIES II
for use with Common, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic Lectionaries
This is the non-festival half of the Christian Year. It has been called a variety of names: "Ordinary time," "Season after Pentecost," "Kingdomtide," etc. Each Sunday stands on its own and the preacher has some freedom in selection of which passages to choose from for the sermon each Sunday. Some preachers follow a nine year cycle, preaching on the Gospel on one cycle, the Epistles another cycle, and the Old Testament lesson on the third cycle of using A, B, C years of the common Lectionary.
