Creative Closing For Ordinary 27 - Year A
by George Hartwell
GHartwell@HealMyLife.com

Written by George Hartwell, 'Creative Closings' provide the preacher and liturgist with a way to lead the congregation to a deeper experience of the message of the selected Revised Common Lectionary text or texts for the day.   'Creative Closings' follow the sermon or homily and most often pick up on the theme of one of the sermons provided on the 'Sermons & Sermon - Lectionary Resources' site (as referenced in the 'the thematic background').   Each Creative Closing can also stand on it's own and might be used as well in a devotional or bible study session.

If this Creative Closing is of use to you please fell free to utilize it, but reproduction electronically or in print requires the author's authorization.   George Hartwell would also like to hear your response to this resource.   You may see George's web site at www.HealMyLife.com or write him at GHartwell@HealMyLife.com

THEMATIC BACKGROUND from: The Law and The Grace of God
 

READING:  Matthew 21:33-46
 

KEY VERSE:  Matthew 21:43
   I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you
   and given to a people who will produce its fruit.”

     
PRINCIPLE:  God calls his people to fruitfulness for His kingdom.


RESPONSE:  For the listener to be more aware of the fruit in his 
or her life and listen to God’s personal message about how to be more 
fruitful.

							
CREATIVE CLOSING
"We are going to be quiet together so God can speak to our hearts about 
our fruitfulness.  Are we producing fruit for God’s kingdom? How can we 
be more fruitful?  Ask God about this and then listen. Lets make note
of God’s word to our minds, our hearts and our wills.”
