WANT PRINTABLE SERMON NOTES

Use the Sermon Action Pack to capture Key Ideas, Practices, and Actions.

Day 1 — Choose your Declaration

Pick 1 sentence you’ll say daily (present-tense, Scripture-aligned). Examples: “I hear the Word and do it.” (Mt 7:24–27) • “I steward what I’ve been given.” (Mt 25) Seed (today): 15 min on one small action that proves it. Step (this week): Put one commitment on your calendar.

Day 2 — Do the same Declaration

Seed: Send the text / calendar the call / clean one drawer / give one prompted gift. Step: Block a 20-min slot for tomorrow’s action.

Day 3 — Review & adjust

What helped? What resisted? Keep the same declaration or swap to one that fits. Seed: 15 min focused work. Step: Confirm one date/time with a friend for accountability.

Day 4 — Share the plan

Tell one person your Declaration, Seed, and Step. Seed: Serve someone with your skill (15–30 min)

Day 5 — Deepen

Read a related passage; write 1 “I will…” sentence. Seed: One practical cleanup (budget, inbox, room, list).

Day 6 — Generosity prompt

Pray “make me interruptible” and obey the first nudge. Seed: Give/time/encouragement—your measure sets the return (Lk 6:38)

Day 7 — Review & recommit

What changed? What’s next week’s single Step? Seed: Schedule your next week’s Step.
