[Jerrold Lewis' Facebook status is: 'I have to preach 8 times in 10 days']
As a Reformed Presbyterian, I will only be preaching on the Lord's Days between now and the First of the Year.
I remember a professor in college saying that his first year in the pastorate (in a CRC) he almost quit because he had to preach SO MANY TIMES between Christmas and New Years. He said that if he wasn't able to write all of these sermons then he would just let the congregation know that he ran out of time!
What do you brothers do that have to preach Christmas Eve, Day, Sabbath twice, New Years Eve, Day, and another Sabbath twice??
How do you prep for this many sermons in a short time? Do you prep for this through-out the year, or do you work like 99 hours a week to prep for it?
Stories Please. I would love to hear how you brothers do it?
