Finish the job on Sunday

I've previously written about the important elements of a sermon. When it comes to the end; trailing off isn't a pretty conclusion.

But I think there is one vital element that's required before the curtain is drawn on a sermon.

Application.

Unless I know how to apply what you're telling me on a Monday, then your task on Sunday is unfinished.

James 1:22 tells believers to "... not merely listen to the word" but also "... Do what it says."

Unless the preacher fulfils both information and application then the job is not done.
