You might not be asked to preach in Middle Earth (a.k.a. New Zealand) like Jim Savastio, but many preachers will serve as a guest preacher at some point in their ministry. No matter how often you preach as a guest, there are also unique joys and trials of a weekly preaching ministry at your own church.

Here are some questions that come up in this conversation:

What are the differences between guest preaching and preaching at your own church?

What challenges and temptations attend guest preaching?

How do you think through accepting invitations to preach outside of your church?

How do you decide what to preach about when you are a guest?

What are the challenges and pleasures of preaching in your own church week after week?
