1. Timing- don’t cram 2. Write- take good notes as you study 3. Be with people- prayer request help guide messages and Bible study with others 4. Honesty- do I really believe this? Have I been in this situation?

Pray and let God by his spirit give what needs to be preached. 💯

As a fairly new preacher entering my 7th year of ministry, this short conversation was extremely helpful! I have been praying and trying to get untied from my manuscript but I just can’t seem to; so the comment about completing the entire manuscript and then reducing it to an outline was extremely valuable to me. I will attempt to incorporate this method. Thank you all and pray for me! 😂😆

On the other hand, Ray said he is hopelessly tied ți a manuscript. So, if that works best for you I would say you should not be too bothered by it.

it's 3 a.m. and I have to preach at an 8a.m. service. I've been over my sermon a bunch times and I feel like it's still not ready. This program was so helpful to me. God bless u guys

I know this is way late but I understand exactly what you felt, in fact, I feel like every sermon I will soon preach isn't ready but I would encourage you to trust your preparation in the hands of the One, Who's Word you preached, He's the One Who will use what you have for His glory....in the meantime, I hope you got some rest!

This conversation amongst brothers and pastors in and for Christ was so edifying and encouraging. May God bless you all and may more men of God rise up being raised up by the Lots for the calling and service of His kingdom.

The 3rd guy was refreshingly honest. He definitely knows The Lord

I agree whole heartedly

L am a young pastor so l really learnt a lot thank u l like it

Thanks this was very helpful!

I'm preaching my first sermon this upcoming Sunday evening. I have no higher education but my Pastor and God have really pushed me into this role and I'm excited and crazy nervous!!! I'm already on draft #3 and it's only Monday. What these guys said about prep not being done until it's time to preach really helped to calm my nerves a bit. Thank you, men.

Super. Amen

Everyone hearing this from pastors to bible study leaders ought be encouraged by this.

This was so GOOD esp the honesty and "WHO" door aspect

Ralph West says “Start preparing IMMEDIATELY because Sunday comes in the morning”

Thank you Men. It’s good to see Pastor Charles being held in high regard amongst peers.

I truly love this forum. Hearing from the heart the process of preaching from pastors themselves. God bless you for sharing this. It will help many others preachers like myself.

Thank yall for this. I am so glad that everything I go through is normal. This alone is a great ministry to have let alone having the opportunity to preach Gods word.

Outstanding! Appreciate the openness, greatly benefitted from this.

Being with people...love that! Sometimes I think maybe we have to hear a ‘revelatory’ word rather than actually responding to the congestion so challenges and present situation

This conversation is still good 🫠

I like to call the who door functional ministry, a word from God which enables the believer to function/slash live victoriously as a witness to the world in everyday life. I also practice my sermons once they are written as of I'm acting preaching in church that morning so it becomes a part of down to the amount of time I'm in the pulpit. Hope this helps in addition to the video

Love this insight!! I’m heading into Ministry

Great insight Thanks for sharing

read Br. Charles book on pastoring, great read!

Excellent content.

Very helpful

This was great

Begin early!

Great stuff 3 different views on preparation

That was great! Lol

I have used my manuscript several times but want to allow God to use me to speak freely. I have to preach in 2 weeks and am praying that my word gets down in my spirit. It was a word for me. There are times were a preacher starts to ramble because he has no notes.

I try now to avoid bringing personal stuff into the pulpit. I had to close myself off to people because when you hear about about adultery in the church and then you discuss the topic on Sunday it’s a very weird situation. I try not to include stuff I am hearing from people from the pulpit because of the sensitivity of the stuff that’s going on. And people in the church may not open up to you anymore if you bring up the topic from the pulpit. I don’t name names either but my conscience is definitely doing it.

That’s if they know what you’re talking about

But that also goes with prayer

So, I think the accepted answer is you just copy JD Greear's sermon ?

Wonderfully candid talk amongst what I'm assuming all learned Men Of God. But guys, all preachers arent men! In fact I wouldn't even consider myself a preacher more than just a woman of God called to be in service. My platform for now is my social media. Like many nowadays. Next time, if there is to be a next time..talk more on post sermon. How should we one "come down" Should you pray? Should you just rest? That's a very emotional time and you are weak on all levels. Or maybe really high. Who should you have around you? How should one steward that time? Please help. This is really concerning to me

They always tryna figure us out and never will! IT'S SPIRITUAL MAN!🙏🏾🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😒💯 ISAIAH 14:21✊🏾

not that helpful for the one I got due in 3 hrs.
