When you say a hook, what do you mean?

Are you looking for a central image or question around which to build the series?

“What do you get when you mix religion and politics? Politics.”

A few of my thoughts here.

Does anyone really wait this late to begin to pull together the material for a sermon series?

A effective series of sermons on executive leadership could e developed by reference to some of the characters found in Judges along with Samuel, Saul and David. Also worthy of consideration is Jonathan as the heir apparent whose conduct was nothing less than sterling. Qualities and characteristics of those who God used in the life of Israel would have immediate application to executives in both the home, business world and the arena of politics. In the suggested books sufficient material would be found to develop any number of challenging messages or extended Bible studies to address not only issues relevant to the upcoming election cycle but the everyday concerns of everyday Believers.

I don’t know if that can yield a title, though.

Nathan outing David on his adultery and murder is a good text, too.

So, I am right there with you, but I am planning on working on it this Monday, I will try to remember to send you what I have.
