This Sermon Notes Journal is a note taking tool for growing Christians to document their spiritual growth -- in essence, a diary of sermons heard over a 52 week period. The challenge for many of us is to remember what was preached about each week we attend church services. This journal will enable you to document hot only what your heard but also how you applied spiritual truth to you life. Included are enough entries for taking notes of one sermon each week plus a few more journal entries for any additional services and special events, totaling 65 sermons you hear The first step in sermon journaling is to Assess Your Spiritual Mindset at the time you hear the sermon. This is done by taking inventory of where you are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Doing so right before you hear the message will help you gauge your receptivity to what God wants to say to you. The second step is the actual note taking as you listen to the sermon. This is where you will write down the main points of the message including personal insights that God reveals to you through the Holy Spirit. The third step is Writing Down How You Will Apply the Sermon to your spiritual journey. The key to your growth as a Christian is to apply the Biblical principles that you hear proclaimed. The fourth step is to Share with Others What God is Teaching You. Ask God to open your eyes to those you know who would benefit in their spiritual walk if you were to share with them the truth of this message. Your sermon journal becomes a discipling resource that you can draw upon as you minister to others. Taking these steps in documenting the truth of scripture that you hear will help you grow in your faith and result in a deeper relationship with the Lord.
