The readings from Common Worship take us through the seasons of the Church Year. We mainly use Matthew and John as well as readings from the Old Testament and Epistles for the Year A cycle. All preaching should come out of time spent with God and from meditating upon God’s Word. Preaching is to come out of our hearts and from our relationship with God. This does not mean that we do not need resources.

One such resource is this book. For each Sunday there is an aim clearly set out, followed by several Bible readings, a comment or thought for the day and finishing with an illustration which is linked to the Gospel. There is also space at the end of each Sunday for any notes the preacher may have.
