I. A Lamp – The Priority of the Kingdom

Mark 4:23-25 NIV
One of the most important activities that we can do is to listen!
Listening is an act of worship.
- Before we listen to a sermon we should ask the Holy Spirit to highlight somethings for us. So we should have a pen and paper ready when He doesso we can write it down.
- We should have in every sermon at least one big idea, one takeaway, one application, one implication of what was said through God’s Word that we should talk about.
