Weekly resources for the weekly preacher and the curious Christian
Hi! My name is Preston Sharpe and I am the founder and curator of The Art of Preaching. I am a veteran preacher with decades of experience writing sermons for myself as well as for others. The weekly resources you will receive from The Art of Preaching are engaging, well-researched, and contextual to the moment. I understand that sermon writing is an art and, therefore, my goal is not to write your sermon for you but to provide you with resources to engage as the Spirit leads you.
How does it work?
Every week, you will receive a FREE overview of three scripture texts for the coming week from the Revised Common Lectionary. The RCL is a selection of readings rooted in the historic Christian tradition which lead the church through all the seasons of the church calendar: Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time.
Don’t use the lectionary? Don’t worry! Your subscription will allow you to access archives of past weeks and you can search by scripture reference.
After you jump in the newsletter, you can become a paid subscriber will give you a weekly three page (approx.) summary of the texts for the upcoming Sunday. Subscribe to the “Deep Dive” for an additional 9 page (approx.) brief each week and a weekly Zoom call to discuss the text with others.
Looking for something specific?
Contact us if you are looking for research on a specific topic. You can ask us about random stuff. Why do some churches use incense in worship? What is Advent? How did Baptists get started? Independent research is billed hourly.
