Take the stress out of Mondays and capture every precious moment in the pulpit using this step-by-step guide to crafting your annual Sermon Plan. The Sermon Planning Guide will advise you in the journey of planning your sermons for 2025. This all-digital* resource includes…
- a Sermon Planning Guidebook (PDF);
- three Retreat Worksheets (PDF);
- your Sermon Plan Spreadsheet (an Excel Document); and
- an Orientation Video.
Please see this video for more information, including a preview of the Sermon Planning Guide (note: the video is from last year, but it will still walk you through the process).
The Sermon Planning Guidebook, Retreat Worksheets, and the orientation video provide compelling arguments about why sermon planning is important, then they guide preachers through the process of planning their sermons. Here’s a screenshot of the Table of Contents:
The Sermon Plan Spreadsheet will serve as a handy companion all year long. In addition to providing a spot for basic sermon records such as the date, speaker, and sermon title, the Sermon Plan Spreadsheet also helps you with things like keeping track of important upcoming events and even calculating the average length of your sermons.
Plus, the Sermon Plan Spreadsheet has a section in which you may assign a category that best fits each sermon. Then, using the “Annual Categorical Analysis” tool included in the spreadsheet, you can see an overview of the categories on which you have preached throughout the year. This helps to ensure you are balanced in the pulpit while also identifying areas which have been heavily covered versus those that have been neglected.
The Sermon Plan Spreadsheet will help you keep track of this year and set you up for planning sermons next year, the Lord willing!
