Getting the most from a sermon notes.
Write the scripture references
Note every passage the speaker uses, so you can read them again later.
Keep key points short
Three to five points in a few words each is plenty. Listening matters more than writing everything.
Fill in application before you leave
Write one specific thing you'll do this week. It's what turns notes into change.
Review on Wednesday
Reread your notes midweek. It helps the message stick and reminds you of your application.

The same page works for online sermons, retreats and conference talks.
Write questions you want to explore
If something in the sermon raises a question, note it in the margin. Follow it up in your own study or ask your pastor.
