Stanbic Trades

Weekly Bible Sermon Notes

If you attend church every Sunday you'll quickly realize that many faithfuls take notes during sermons. You'll find particular verses highlighted, scribbled on or just tagged on. Since 1996, I have done the same thing, not always, but more often than not. I do this when I perceive a particular point in time as eye popping; the eureka moment, the Aha! moment.

So from this moment on I urge you to post your church aha! moments here; On one condition - Indicate the Speaker, the Bible Verse, the Date and the eye popping comment. Just like this:

Bro. Paul Wambugu - March 20, 2006
2 Tim 2:1-7
Soldier, Athlete, Farmer: What do they have in common - discipline, obedience, hard work; these are that virtues that we should uphold. The secret of success is hard work. By the way, there's no volume 2 of the Bible. It's an open book test. Live by the rules.

I am encouraged that someone somewhere is unselfish enough to share information. I will certainly give and take as the opportunity presents.
