This work focuses on the discipline of preaching in Christian churches. It addresses the need for advance planning of sermons by pastors without the aid of the Lectionary. The author suggests that the quality and relevancy of sermons preached can be enhanced when pastors exercise the discipline of planning a preaching program in light of long-term goals for their churches. This thesis addresses several theological questions behind planning sermons in advance. It also contains a survey of literature currently available on subjects related to sermon planning, the Christian year, creativity, and church planning. Included in this work is a chapter containing a manual for planning a preaching program. Featured is a suggested methodology for developing a preaching program that is based upon a preacher's vision and goals for a congregation. A six-stage approach to planning is presented as well as a step-by-step process for planning a sermon series. The thesis concludes with a chapter containing suggestions for teaching seminary students and pastors this methodology of planning a preaching program.
