Did You Get Anything from the Sermon or Bible Class?
As a minister, one question I think about during the week is, “What will people get out of this lesson?” Or “What did people get out of last week’s lesson?” Also, as a minister, I know some lessons are better than others and people listen and respond differently, but…did you get anything out of the sermon or the Bible class?
Allow me to offer a few suggestions that might help you to get something from a lesson:
- What did you put into the lesson?
- Did you prepare your mind before Sunday?
- Did you open your mind to the message or be as a Pharisee (Matthew 15.1-9) or a mocker (Acts 17.32)?
- Did you open your Bible and follow along?
- Did you take notes on the message to review later?
- Did you bring a proper attitude to worship?
- Just another thought: The old saying rings true, “you get out of something what you put into it.”
- Why Did You Come to Worship?
- Do you not come to join with the saints in mutual fellowship and mutual worship to God the Father?
- Do you not come to support the preaching of God’s Word or do you always look to see what you get from it?
- Do you glorify God or seek self-glorification?
- Where was your mind during the lesson?
- Were you thinking of how to apply or know the message or were your thoughts on how much time you are wasting? (Attitude determines altitude)
- What were two points listed during the message?
- Can you recall three passages of scripture during the message?
- Can you recall the title of the message?
These questions will not solve all the issues with listening to a sermon, but they provide a good start. Many times, people need to look internally before looking externally.
Just a thought,
Every week, across our brotherhood, sermons are presented, and Bible classes are taught. During those few hours each week, some people gain more insights than others. While it may be said that we should not come “looking for something”, we should come ready do worship the Almighty. If we have the proper mindset there is still something to be gained from the lessons.
Consider these few questions to see if they can help you “get something” from the lessons:
Why did you come to worship or Bible class?
The way we approach worship will determine our experience and our learning capacity. Ask yourself, “Am I coming to join with the saints and worship God the Father?” Are you coming together with others to praise God or just to “get something” out of the day? If someone comes to worship to find a self-pleasing ritual, then worship will not be God-centered.
What are you putting into the sermon or Bible class?
When you come to the assembled worship or Bible Class time, have you prepared your mind to learn? Our mindset will say much about our ability to learn. Are you opening your Bible and following along, or even taking notes to examine later? The old saying is, “you get out what you put in.” Are you putting effort into learning?
Where was your mind during the sermon or Bible class?
When you are listening are you thinking of how to apply the points of the message in your daily life? Once again, listening goes back to mindset. Are you focusing on the worship of God or things outside of worship?
Just some thoughts,
