Pay Attention to How You Listen

Paying close attention is vital when attending congregation meetings, assemblies, and conventions. (Luke 8:18) How can you improve your listening ability?

◼ Avoid eating a heavy meal before meetings.

◼ Refuse to allow your mind to wander.

◼ Take brief notes of the main points.

◼ Look up the scriptures that are read.

◼ Participate when there is opportunity.

◼ Reflect on the material being presented.

◼ Think of ways to use what you hear.

◼ Afterward, discuss what you learned.
