I'm...Pastor Tom, thanks so much for commenting. I'm not sure I have much wisdom to offer. There was a time some years ago when I had two sermons a week to prepare (plus a weeknight Bible study), and during those years I DID plan my preaching a year at a time...but was never able to do much in advance. At times I was more than a week ahead, but not consistently. It was only much later--and only when I had one sermon a week--that I started the practice of planning two, three, or four weeks in advance. I think, if I had it to do over again, I would try to arrange for a guest speaker or two (or some other interim arrangement) in order to GET a couple weeks ahead, and then protect that schedule carefully, as I think the benefits in a small church and multi-service format like yours would be as much or more pronounced. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I recently read your article on Se...Hey Brother Bob<br />I recently read your article on Sermon Central...Why You Should Write Your Sermons at Least Two Weeks Ahead. I enjoyed the article, but as I was 'pondering' over this, I was wondering if you're talking about one sermon? What I mean is.....I preach in a small Southern Baptist Church that still meets on Sunday night. Therefore, I am usually preparing two sermons each week plus a Bible Study for Wednesday Night. I have prepared Series in advance, and other sermons in advance, but I am finding it difficult to get ahead for all sermons and Bible Studies. Any Suggestions? Just a side note....I do try to have everything done by Thursday or Friday. Usually the 'skeleton' is finished prior to that...but then there is the powerpoint, etc. Remember...small Southern Baptist Church....i am the only full time staff.<br />Thanks for your comments and suggestions in advanceTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747948171743724863noreply@blogger.com
