Planning a Preaching Calendar
Show notes
How should a pastor decide what to preach next, and how far ahead should he plan?
Matt Smethurst and Ligon Duncan discuss the pastoral wisdom behind planning a preaching calendar, from choosing books of the Bible and balancing the Old and New Testaments to determining the length and pace of a sermon series. They explain why planning ahead doesn’t quench the Spirit, how expositional preaching protects pastors from their own hobby horses, and why the goal isn’t simply filling Sundays with sermons but faithfully feeding God’s people over time.
