The first sermon preached each Sunday is not by the minister, but by you.
You preach a message about the importance of the Scriptures when you bring your Bible.
You preach a message of good cheer when you say “Good morning!” to those you meet when you park your car and when you are in the hallway and classroom.
You preach a message of hope and joy when you sing enthusiastically during the song service.
You preach a message about the power of prayer when you fervently enter into our time of prayer together.
You preach a message of respect when you listen attentively while the preacher is speaking.
You preach a message of love when you smile, say hello, and introduce yourself to visitors.
You preach a message about faith when you give your offering.
Many messages are preached before the minister stands up to bring his message. If your message is positive and consistent, then the message given from the pulpit will be much better received.
Come each Sunday prepared to preach your sermon.
