Preaching as Disciplemaking

What does it mean to engage in active listening during a sermon? In this video, Jason Dohm discusses the different ways people engage with sermons. He calls for a more active approach to listening and encourages note-taking to help stamp the messages on the listener's memory. According to him, this form of active engagement doesn't just make the sermon more memorable, but also makes it more likely to be discussed and considered after the service ends. Dohm advocates for the continuation of the sermon's message beyond the service, suggesting that it should be the subject of conversation afterwards. He describes the opportunity to discuss the sermon's content with others as a golden opportunity to engage with and learn from the preached text. This can be achieved in various social settings, such as during a shared meal after the service, where the topics of the day can be put aside in favor of discussing the sermon's teachings and how they can be applied in the upcoming week. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV): 'And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.'
