Sermon Review (Sunday, Dec. 7, 2008)

I am only going to summarize one section of Sunday's sermon: Getting The Most Out Of Your Reading.

STEP 1	Begin with the introduction of the book. Continue reading until some idea inspires and motivates you. Mark the page and STOP READING.
STEP 2	Make a decision to implement that idea in your life every day for one week.
STEP 3	Continue reading, from where you left off, until you find another idea that motivates, excites and or inspires you. Mark the page and STOP READING.
STEP 4	Repeat Step #2

It may take you an entire year to get through one book, but you will have lived that book rather than merely read the book. Furthermore, you will experience the practical power of those ideas because you are putting them into action. You can apply this same formula to a Sunday sermon. Simply take the one idea that inspires you the most and live it until next Sunday. A sermon lived is far better than a sermon preached.
