C ONTENTS
F avorable comments from ministers who serve in many different types of churches suggest that the Pastors Annual provides valuable assistance to many busy pastors as they seek to improve the quality, freshness, and variety of their pulpit ministry. To be of service to fellow pastors in their continuing quest to obey our Lords command to Peter, Feed my sheep, is a calling to which I respond with gratitude.
I pray that this issue of the Pastors Annual will be blessed by our Lord in helping each pastor to plan and produce a preaching program that will better meet the spiritual needs of his or her congregation.
This issue contains sermon series by several contributing authors who have been effective contemporary preachers and successful pastors. Each author is listed with his sermons by date in the section titled Contributing Authors. I accept responsibility for those sermons not listed there.
This issue of the Pastors Annual is dedicated to the Lord with a prayer that he will bless these efforts to let the Holy Spirit lead us in preparing a planned preaching program for the year.

S UGGESTED PREACHING PROGRAM FOR THE MONTH OF
J ANUARY
Sunday Mornings
Without a proper response to the Holy Spirit, our lives will be unproductive and our service will be feeble. The suggested theme for the first messages of the year is Recognizing and Responding to the Indwelling Spirit.
Sunday Evenings
The Old Testament prophets were primarily forthtellers rather than foretellers. They communicated the message of God to the needs of the day. The suggested theme is Listen to the Major Messages of the Minor Prophets.
Wednesday Evenings
The suggested theme for several months is Studies in Pauls Letter to the Corinthians.
Title:
Text: Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep (1 Cor. 15:20 RSV).
Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:2023, 3545
Hymns: | Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, Wesley |
Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned, Stennett |
My Savior, First of All, Crosby |
O That Will Be Glory, Gabriel |
Offertory Prayer: Loving Father, we are the recipients of your gracious and wonderful gifts. Thank you for loving us in Jesus Christ. Thank you for giving us assurance that our sins are forgiven and that we are accepted in Christ as members of your family. Thank you for the fellowship that we enjoy in and through the church. Thank you for the task that is ours of sharing the good news of a risen, living Lord with a needy world. Accept our gifts as tokens of our desire to be dedicated to the proclaiming of the good news of his death, resurrection, and living presence to the ends of the earth. In his saving name we pray. Amen.
