What can you do Saturday evening and Sunday morning and on the way to church [to prepare]… for hearing the Word of God preached? 1. Pray that God would give you [a] good and honest heart (Eze. 36:26; Jer. 24:7). 2. Meditate on the Word of God. Read portions of your Bible with a view to stirring up hunger for God. 3. Purify your mind by turning away from worldly entertainment (Jas. 1:21). 4. Trust in the truth that you already have (Jer. 17:7-8). 5. Get a good night’s rest on Saturday night. 6. Forebear one another [before the service] without grumbling and criticism. 7. Come in a spirit of meek teachability (Jas. 1:21). 8. Be still as you enter the room and focus your mind’s attention and heart’s affection on God (Psm. 46:10). 9. When the worship service begins, think earnestly about what is sung and prayed and preached (1 Cor. 14:20; 2 Tim. 2:7). 10. Desire the truth of God’s Word more than you desire riches or food (Psm. 19:10-11; Pr. 2:3-5).
