Time for my monthly preaching retreat. Today will be spent sans computer, just bible, notepad, and prayer. These days are for hearing from God about the things He wants to speak, and the way He wants to share them. I try to rely on His creativity and put together the plan for upcoming series'.
My method is to follow the map of an annual preaching calendar that I put together in November for the next year. Then I spend a day each month praying over upcoming series. Most of the day is spent thinking, praying and jotting notes. It informs my weekly Monday afternoon and Wednesday preparation times.
For the future file -- I dream of a day when I'll work with a preaching team. We will work through these exercises together, and share the preaching responsibilities.
