First Lesson Sermons For Sundays After Pentecost (First Third), Cycle A
Robert Cueni

These sermons are based on First Lesson lectionary texts for the first third of the Season after Pentecost, Cycle A.

[Bob Cueni's] preaching meets the unspoken criteria most pew residents bring to a church sanctuary: 1) biblically rooted, 2) easy to understand, 3) tells me something about myself that I feel God wants me to know, and 4) encourages me to believe that I can apply this truth to my life.... His communication style evokes the highest praise pulpit residents can give their peers: "That will preach!"
Herb Miller Lubbock, Texas

Sermon titles include:
The Risky Business Of Faith -- Genesis 12:1-9
When Life Doesn't Go According To Plan -- Genesis 21:8-21
Don't Sell Your Inheritance For Cabbage Soup -- Genesis 25:19-34
