Lectionary Preaching Workbook
The Church Year Theological Clue
On this Sunday Christian stewardship will be of more concern to some congregations than the impending end of the church year and its ensuing theology, but the theology of this part of the church year remains solidly eschatological. Worship ought to have the sound of a trumpet in it, perhaps not a loud trumpet blast but a muted announcement of the promise of the parousia: Jesus is coming again! We don't know when this return will be accomplished, but we believe that it will occur in accordance with God's plan and at God's established time.
