Abstract

This study explores the sermon's impact on those who have studied the texts sometime prior to Sunday. Study materials included the primary preaching text, along with exegetical and devotional reflections. Some participants studied the material individually. Others studied it collectively (before a meeting, blogging, small group). Sermon surveys with both quantitative and qualitative questions measured their responses. The surveys indicated that those who studied the texts ahead of time had a more positive listening experience. They were more engaged by the biblical material and more likely to indicate how the biblical story might strengthen their faith and impact their life of discipleship.
