A Good Practice

I have a thought to share with you. Write a sermon. You might think that is just my job. However, I encourage you to write a sermon from time to time. Here is why.

 

  1. You will be forced to study scriptures. This will expose you to the depths of the letters, poems, wisdom, and stories of the Bible. I have learned a great deal through this experience.
  2. You will learn how to express your faith to others even better than you already can.
  3. You will gain a deeper understanding of the sermons you hear. When you learn what goes into to writing a sermon, you will be able to more easily catch the message of sermons you hear.
  4. You will find yourself praying more for meaning and a message from the Bible.
  5. You will grow in your faith as you read about the lives and messages of the people in the Bible.

That is just a start to what you can learn from writing a sermon. If that sounds too imposing, try writing about a scripture or theme instead. I promise you will gain from it as I have.
