In this episode I talk with Andrew Reid, someone who has a lot of experience in pastoring, church planting, teaching, preaching, and training preachers. Our topic is how to prepare a preaching calendar. Questions covered include: What is a preaching calendar? What are the advantages of a preaching calendar? Does a preaching calendar oppose the Spirit’s leading? Is there room for flexibility? What length of time should a preaching calendar cover? Where does one begin? What should govern what we preach on? What about current events and unexpected happenings in the community and world? What are the various kinds of preaching series? How important is it to allow the seasons in the Christian calendar to govern what we preach on? What kind of variety or balance should we be looking for between preaching through a book and something more topical, or Old Testament versus New Testament? What is the ideal length for a sermon series? Is there a value in having breaks in the middle of a series? Where do lay preachers fit in to the preaching schedule? Should our goal be to preach through every book of the Bible? How do you keep from repeating yourself or getting on your soapbox? How do you keep your preaching fresh?
