Is there a reason for abandoning the model of consecutive exposition of scripture?
Are you objecting to taking particular texts for novelty days? Don't you think it is perfectly acceptable and could be helpful? I can see St Valentine's Day is maybe a bit debateable but surely going for a text such as 1 Cor 15 on Easter Sunday is quite a mainstream kinda thing to do?
I guess on V day I wanted to address an issue that would be in people's minds a little more than usual.
I guess observing things like Easter helps to tie us into the drama of the gospel, keep the main things the main things etc.?
I suppose more of a case may be made for Easter, though I think that one ought to be able to preach an Easter sermon from practically any text. But Valentine's Day? I think that's pandering to the god of Hallmark.
ya.. its really useful for me...
