What Should I preach, and when?

The Benefits Package

Benefits of long term sermon planning

  • Frees the pastor from the anxiety and enslavement of Saturday Night Fever.
  • Frees the congregation from the hobbyhorse doctrines and topics of the pastor.
  • Increases the pastor's breadth of Scriptural knowledge, and therefore the congregation's cover-to-cover familiarity with their own Bibles.
  • Increases the likelihood that the pastor will preach the whole counsel of God over the span of his tenure as the teaching shepherd of a local congregation.
  • Increases the pastor's confidence before God that he has been faithful to discharge his God given task on the day of accountability (Heb 13:17).
