7 Tips for Hearing God's Word w/ Maximum Benefit Is there anything God uses more in our lives than grace-enabled, Spirit-empowered believing meditation on Scripture?

In this post we consider 7 tips on hearing God’s Word with maximum benefit. Several of these will apply to the entire worship service each week, not just the climax of expository preaching. 7 Tips for Effective Bible Reading You know how to read but do you really?
