Proclamation That Gives Christ to Your People
Features and Benefits for churches needing consistency during pastoral absence
Cross and Resurrection Sermons provide Lutheran and other Christian congregations reliable preaching. It eliminates the task of finding members to prepare and deliver a sermon. You receive sermons that proclaim forgiveness and new life through Christ’s death and resurrection. They are not lectures that merely explain religious ideas. Instead, they are based upon real life experiences and how God helps you through them. Reverend Mark Jamison brings engaging, dynamic preaching with thoughtful humor that connects Scripture to the real-life situations your members face throughout the week.
This service offers consistency in preaching. The sermons are short and focused, designed to nourish faith and keep the hearers’ attention.
When facing a pastoral transition, this service is a time saving, cost effective solution for your preaching needs. Please contact us at Cross and Resurrection Sermons.
Why Congregations Choose Consistent Guest Preaching
After the service, your members will have heard a clear announcement of their forgiveness in Christ rather than vague spiritual encouragement or advice on better living. The preaching does not rely on entertainment or manipulation but on the power of the Gospel itself to create and sustain faith. Cross and Resurrection Sermons ensures that your worship service maintains its theological integrity and spiritual depth even when your regular pastor is absent.
When you arrange for these services, you receive a preacher who understands the weight of the pastoral office and the responsibility of standing in the pulpit to speak God's Word. The sermons are lectionary based. Preaching is consistent. You will know what to expect each Sunday. The preaching is also dramatic. It uses vocal variations and narrative skill to draw listeners into the Biblical accounts. That helps them see themselves within the story of Scripture.
Upon request, prayers, hymns and a complete order of a worship service can be provided. The service does not include pastoral counseling, hospital visits, or administrative duties, but it does ensure that your pulpit is filled with faithful proclamation every Sunday you need it.
Churches across this country often have common concerns about arranging for guest preaching during times of pastoral need.
