The Practical Disciple

Just a reminder that to get the most out of Sunday as I suggested in two recent posts you want to be intentional about worship.  Here are some highlights from those posts as a timely reminder.
 

• Bring a Bible.
• Follow the readings.
• Note key words, phrases, or parts of the passage that jump out at you.
• Take notes.
• Try to reconstruct the sermon in your head almost immediately after hearing it.
• Set a goal for how you will respond or take action.
• Discuss the sermon with someone else.  If you really want to remember it, discuss it with at least 3 people.
• Periodically, review recall the sermon and your goal later in the week.

 
If you didn’t read the two prior posts on getting the most out of your Sunday worship, then I suggest that you do so or review them prior to your next worship experience.  Here are the links.

I hope that I am not being too repetitive, but a great deal of research suggests that we have to hear something 7 times before acting on it.  Also, if many of you are like me, what I read on Monday doesn’t necessarily always come to mind Saturday or Sunday; hence, this little reminder on a Saturday  night.  Blessings and give God your very best attention every time you worship.  It is perhaps the most important hour you will spend in a week.
