Advent presents us with some unique challenges. The culture is against us as we would lead our congregations in the celebration of Advent. Since the season itself was an accommodation of some sort to the cultures of centuries past, perhaps we need to find some way to keep the valuable and essential parts of Advent but repackage them so they fit into our culture.

Advent 2, 2023
John comes with a call to repent and the impending judgment of God but Peter speaks of God’s patience today. The Christian has a bit of a dilemma in Advent.
I value Sunday Sermon notes for their ease of use, the contribution of many others to the discussion and for the sermon starters, especially when you have writer's block!
My sermon preparations are much easier made and more enriched. There is always good stuff in the introductions and background information. What a blessing!
Sunday Sermon notes are extremely helpful for many, not just proclaimers. I've shared them weekly with Elders of the small church I'm privileged to serve and suggest they be used as devotional thoughts during the week. They are appreciative.
Not only is Dr. Brandt’s sermon studies a great help in preparing sermons, they also are great for use in bible studies and personal devotions. Thank you, Dr. Brandt for all your good work!
I often use Phil’s Sunday Sermon notes to get ideas. His insights are thought-provoking and I appreciate that he often poses questions rather than supplying (or attempting to supply) answers. I’ve used them for a number of years and have been blessed because of them. Thanks brother Phil!
Sunday Sermon has been an incredible resource for me in my first four years of pastoral ministry. Pastor Brandt’s work with all of the weekly lectionary texts offer wonderful Law/Gospel insights which have been integral to my weekly sermon prep, reducing the amount of overwhelm I felt as I learned to develop a rhythm of preaching each Sunday. Pastor Brandt’s reflections were helpful not only in sermon prep but also in my own devotional life as well.
