Welcome!

Welcome to "Sermoneutics," a weekly devotional based on the upcoming texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. Each year I will blog about one set of lessons - Old Testament, Psalms, Epistles or Gospels. I include an original collect and compose a benediction, both based on the week's passage. I hope these will prove useful both for personal devotion and as "sermon starters" for those who preach regularly.

Benedictions

March 13, 2011
Second Sunday Of Lent, Year A
Romans 4.1-5, 13-17

May the Lord free you from works
That will never win salvation.
May the Lord free you for faith
That alone finds favor with God.
May the Lord free you to work
From faith that finds an outlet in love.
In the name of the Father
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
