Lectionary Preaching Workbook
It is critical, at this juncture of the church year, to remember that the lectionary and the church year are connected to each other by the Gospel, specifically by the kerygma. Kerygmatic theology is the link that binds them together, especially in the death, resurrection, and second coming of the Lord. Sunday, even this late in the Pentecost cycle/season, retains its character as a "Little Easter," even though the eschatological note of Pentecost - "Christ will come again" - sounds ever more loudly as the end of Pentecost and the beginning of Advent become increasingly proximate.
