Show Notes
In this episode, Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock discuss sermon preparation.
- In 2001, Thom Rainer found that, on average, pastors spent an average of 4 hours in sermon preparation.
- Today, 75% of pastors spend between 8-15 hours in sermon preparation.
- Expositional preaching can require more in-depth study.
- If you aren’t spending adequate time in sermon preparation, your people will know it.
- If you are spending too much time in your office and away from your people, that’s a problem also.
- The hardest part of preaching is knowing what to leave out.
