Pastors: what part of sermon prep takes the most time each week?

Genuine question — what part of sermon prep eats up most of your time each week? Finding the right scriptures? Structuring the message? Illustrations? Research?

Curious what the real pain points are and what (if anything) you use to help. No agenda, just trying to understand what the weekly grind actually looks like for other pastors.

[Worship Leaders / Ops Pastors] What's your "Plan B" when someone cancels on a Saturday night?

I'm looking to understand the manual workload behind volunteer management. When a volunteer drops out 12 hours before a service, do you have a specific workflow to find a sub, or does it always fall back to you texting people one-by-one? How much of your Saturday is usually 'stolen' by this?
