Good thoughts Dave. I think a dcenet rule of thumb is to do a 4-6 week book series followed by a 4-6 week topical series. Of course, we can create a hybrid like Marriage and Family from an Ephesian Perspective. I probably would leave the Ephesian part off of the series title but maybe not. We have four kinds of listeners in the congregation, those who listen primarily with their heart, mind, soul, or strength (or for inspiration, information, reflection, or application respectively). While every sermon perhaps should aim to develop content that hits all of these listener preferences, it may be easier to focus an entire series on one of these every four months or to preach a four week series with a different primary target (ie, heart, mind, etc) each week.
