For me, that means writing a manuscript.Tim Keller is one of my favorite preachers and authors. “A church will never be better than its preaching.” That’s not an excuse to devote an inordinate amount of time to sermon preparation, but it is a reminder that every preacher has to figure out what they need to be able to preach a message that sets the tone for the church that is taking shape.

I rarely took the manuscript to the pulpit with me, but writing my sermon in advance helped me think my way to clarity in my sermon preparation. Up until that point, I’d developed a practice of preparing a sermon manuscript before I preached. When I finished as pastor of an established church in January 2012, I made a massive switch in how I prepared sermons.
