Lectionary Preaching Aid: Sundays

TLC’s Lectionary Preaching Aid is a free resource for preachers, teachers, and anyone seeking to inwardly digest the Sunday lectionary readings.

Our editorial staff has thoughtfully curated content from treasures of preaching and teaching past and present, to save time—and enrich your time—as you plan and pray for the coming week’s services. It’s ecumenical, aligned with the rhythms of the Church year, and grounded in the liturgical and spiritual heritage of Anglican and wider Catholic tradition.

For each Sunday in the three-year Revised Common Lectionary: Episcopal Edition, you will find:

• The lectionary texts in the RSV and NRSV translations
• Directions for lectors on how to introduce and conclude each lesson, plus a summary of the lesson’s themes (taken from our former resource, Illuminations)
• Exploring the Texts: Deep reflections from our Sunday’s Readings lectionary archives
• Preaching Today: 3+ contemporary sermons for inspiration by some of our best preachers
• Classic Texts: 3+ voices ancient and modern on topics relevant to the week’s readings
• Articles and Essays: Illuminations and challenges on the week’s biblical themes
