Response:
Set aside some time this week to read the Sermon through, in its entirety. If you can, do this more than once—to read the Sermon silently to yourself shouldn’t take much more than 10 minutes. As you read, reflect on what words or themes are repeated, the places where you are challenged or encouraged, and any questions that arise. Make a note of these, so that you can consider how they are addressed in the sermon series ahead.
