Training Members of First Baptist Church of Rockmart, Georgia, to Listen to a Sermon

This project sought to train members of First Baptist Church of Rockmart, Georgia, in sermon-listening based on principles of expository preaching. Chapter 1 explains the project’s ministry context, rationale, goals, and also research methodology. Chapter 2 presents exegesis of three key biblical texts (Neh 8:1–12; Matt 13:13–23; Rom 10:14–17) to show that listening (or hearing) is instrumental for salvation and spiritual growth. Chapter 3 delves into a number of Christian sources to demonstrate that sermon-listening is a discipline that involves an attitude of expectancy, analysis of the content, and application of the lesson. Chapter 4 details the design and execution of the project, including methodology and materials involved. Finally, Chapter 5 evaluates the project’s effectiveness based on completion of the goals and then reflects on the overall process.
