It’s the time of year where we need to start planning 2024! Derek talks to Des Smith from Trinity Church Lockleys about how to plan out a preaching series:

  • Is it the role of the senior minster or is this something that can be delegated?
  • What are the principles we need when planning out a series and why smaller passages might be better?
  • Why seasons of the year and genres of books matter when planning out series.
  • Des will take us though his preaching plan for 2024 and why he did what he did
  • What happens when we don’t plan?
  • How tight we should hold to our plans?
  • How our plan affects other aspects of church?
  • Why outputs should be guiding our plan?
