This project seeks to clarify the relationship between a biblical text being 'read' or 'told' and its connection to the sermon preached on that text. It is believed that in many worship settings there is a 'disconnect' between the lectionary read and the selected sermon text. By the time the preacher begins his sermon the hearer has often forgotten the scripture reading. The use of biblical storytelling can assist the listener in hearing, understanding, remembering and connecting the text of scripture with the sermon. To evaluate the effective use of biblical storytelling, surveys were conducted on four Sundays among a sample of congregation members. On each Sunday the lectionary reading was 'read' in one service and 'told' in the other. Participants completed a survey following each of the worship services noting the impact the scripture had on their hearing, understanding, remembering and connecting that scripture with the sermon. The results supported the theory that when the sermon text is presented as a storytelling rather than a reading there is a stronger remembrance and connection with the sermon. After hearing the sermon text 'told,' rather than read, the hearer is more aware of and familiar with the scripture which benefits the reception of the sermon. While the preacher may not wish to use biblical storytelling every week, it can have an effect on the hearer's ability to connect text and sermon.
