I follow the lectionary cycle. I've not always done this but I am finding that in using the lectionary it pushes me to preach through texts that I might not normally seek out to teach. Although preaching through the books would do the same thing, I enjoy the variety of texts from one Sunday to the next and also find that keeping with the liturgical calendar adds a depth or wholeness to the worship.
