I plan my preaching way in advance. To some, it seems highly unspiritual. But I feel like the same God who created the world and had a plan for redemption before the foundation of the world, can use me even if I prepare in advance. Sorry, I’m not taking a shot at you. I’ve been there. At the midnight hour, wondering what I was going to preach. Next month I will attempt my preaching calendar for 2018. Not only does it help me to be prepared, but it also helps our music director to select songs that might be a great complement to the message. It works for me/us. But I am all in favor of pizza, ice cream, and afternoon naps !

Thanks, it has been so long I have forgotten. Now I can smile at Bro Nations and DaSheik. I think I remember getting two weeks ahead (once!) But now it is nice to sit in the pew and TRY to listen to the ministers who I know have worked, studied and prayed for what I need. Lately I have been able to hear and follow along, last Sun AM we had a local lay preacher, I could not understand a word of the sermon (but it seemed the congregation was involved), I did get to read Jeremiah though. Most of us in the pew truly appreciate the time and effort our pastor puts into the Word. (it probably doesn't seem so at times I know, with one deaf guy reading instead of trying to read lips.) (PS: it is hard to read lips when the speaker has a full beard!) Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Yeah, what's the matter with you guys?

You know you have to wait till Sunday morning to prepare! C'mon OT tells us how the highly anointed do it.
