Can anyone inform me on Pastor Melissa Scott?

Her singing has nothing to do with entertaining you-it has to do with her rejoicing in the spirit of the work she is doing-grow up!

If that is the case, then replace Melissa with an incompetent teacher who rejoices in the spirit and let Melissa focus on singing. Let's see how that works out.

Does she only preach from Romans and Corinthians or what. It is like a Pauline ministry, rather than a Christian ministry. This is one of the reasons I have been searching for a new Church, pastors are scared to venture outside of the Epistles.

I preach using the lectionary so I'm preaching through the entire bible on a regular schedule. That's why I like the lectionary, it provides a unified and wholisti approach to the Bible. Every Sunday there are four inter related pericopes. One from the OT, one from the Psalms, One from the Epistles, and one from the Gospels. It works out very nice for preaching and avoids the tendency some preachers have of simply sticking with the Epistles. Of course its easy to stick with the epistles. They are basically lectures with clear lessons. It doesn't take nearly as much work to unpack so Preachers stick there a lot.

What lectionary do you use?

She often teaches series on the letters, which may make it feel like that is all she does. But if you watch her regularly you will get lessons from anywhere in the Bible. She teaches from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Psalms, etc. She's on three days/week, so there are many repeated episodes. I would like to see them dated or numbered across the bottom of the screen, along with the passage being studied.

My husband also uses the Common Lectionary as a guide to balanced preaching, which also aids him as a bi-vocational preacher.

To be honest, his lessons are much better when he lets the Spirit guide him to the lesson.

I like her teaching and do NOT like her singing. They must have somebody in the church who has a better voice.

Geez. There's always something to criticize, isn't there? "Entertain me!"

Don't like her singing, turn it off. She doesn't sing for your approval. Her praise team ain't so hot, either, but they don't sing to please you and me. They sing to praise God. And they do.

Of course that assumes the Spirit does not guide the use of the lectionary. I think that's really not a definsable position. I don't like this idea that somehow the only way the Spirit "works" is when we're doing things "off the cuff."

I go away for a week every year at a monastary I know. I spend the week in silence reading the lectionary readings a head. I sometimes work as far as 6 months out. As I begin I ask for God's Spirit to be in the process, guiding. Just because I'm doing it six months out doesn't mean the Spirit is somehow absent or not as clearly leading.

Too touchy. No need to be defensive.

I didn't say the lectionary was a bad thing, nor that the Spirit doesn't lead through the lectionary. I said, basically, that his lessons were better when they were his own. They are. And I was only speaking of him.

fair enough.
