As I have posted in another thread, I have spent hours on studying and preparing a sermon for a service, only to have the Holy Spirit speak to my heart when I step behind the pulpit and take me in another direction.
Study and preparation are necessary in any pastor's walk, as SBC has affirmed, but sometimes the Spirit does lead in a different direction. Does that mean we are not to preach that message we prepared? NO! God gave us that message for a reason, He will allow it at a later date.
Be faithful to God, ever studying His Word and sensitive to the Leading of the Holy Spirit.
