Hearing the Word Your soul needs to regularly feed on the milk of the Word. Nothing can replace listening in the company of fellow believers week after week to the live systematic exposition of God’s Word as the Holy Spirit does his unique work upon the souls of his gathered people. Listening to a podcast of the same sermon may be helpful, but it is not the same as listening with the body of Christ. Don’t ever let solitary listening to the latest and greatest speaker on his weekly podcast replace your time of listening to live preaching of the Word in the company of God’s people.
