In today’s day and age, where media seeks to grab our attention using constant moving images, multiple sound bites and the point and click; good churches still seek to follow the command to “preach the word,” despite what some may deem as “foolishness.” The difficulty in this endeavor is the common church goer, despite regular attendance, is unfamiliar with holding their own attention.

Most people believe it is the preacher’s job to keep the people’s attention, but I believe preachers have been trying to do that, and it has changed the landscape of preaching in the modern day church. The preacher should not devote himself on grabbing the attention of the people but the delivery of the Word of God. Those within the congregation must give themselves to the service as well.  Church should not simply be a one way street; it requires devotion and effort from both sides of the pulpit.

As long as the Bible is center focus of the message, we should be able to gain something regularly.So how can we get the most out of a sermon?
