the whole week.
Pastoral mission and approach
Pastoral mission: make room for wonder without leaving the work of pastoring.
United Methodist pastors and pastors from other mainline traditions are welcome here. The Preaching Table aims to help you approach the Revised Common Lectionary with fresh imagination and Scripture-grounded ideas—sparks you can test, reshape, and carry into your own work.
That work remains yours: your study, your prayer, and your attentive care for the people entrusted to you.
Welcome fresh imagination
Make space for a new angle that can open the text without turning it into someone else’s sermon.
Keep the pastor at the center
Bring each possibility back to your own study, prayer, and care for your congregation.
A companion for discernment, never a replacement for it.
