This Brief Guide Explains How Listening Well During Sermons Energizes Spiritual Growth and Local Church Life
While biblical preaching is vital for spiritual growth, it's also essential that churchgoers "take care then how you hear" (Luke 8:18), being attentive to God's precious word. A few simple habits will prepare you to hear from the Lord each week and get the most from your pastor's teaching.
In this addition to the Church Questions series, Gunner Gundersen explains that listening in church isn't a passive experience but an urgent activity. Drawing from Scripture and personal examples, he shares practical advice for preparing for church, addressing distractions, interpreting Scripture, discussing sermons as a community, and more. This short, approachable guide will encourage your church to treasure God's word by listening faithfully during sermons.
Gunner Gundersen (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the dean of faculty at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). He previously served as a lead pastor and in Christian college ministry as a resident director, director, dean, and professor. Gunner is married to Cindi, and they have four grown children.
