Devotions

When the COVID 19 pandemic broke out, Phil started writing a daily devotion for the members of the parish he served and he shared this with his Sunday Sermon audience. He started referring to them as his “plague devotions” but they have grown and changed. The devotions initially started in 2020 with Series A – Lent III. As we enter the second full three-year cycle of these devotions Phil will be updated, editing, and filling in gaps. You will know that the devotions for a given week have been updated if the dates have been corrected.

The intention here is that a Pastor or parish leader could share these with his members via email, a posting on a website, or a social media platform such as Facebook on each of the five days of the work week. These are free. Please use them for the kingdom of God.

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.
