Episode 8 | Featuring guest Rev. Dr. Michael Berg

For many Christians, Sunday worship can feel routine—we sing, we listen, we leave. But what if we approached it with greater understanding and appreciation, recognizing that the liturgy isn’t just a set order of events but the story of Christ unfolding before us?

In this episode of Faith Footnotes, we welcome Rev. Dr. Michael Berg, professor, pastor, and author of The Baptismal Life and On Any Given Sunday: The Story of Christ in the Divine Service. Together, we’ll explore how the structure of the service points us to Jesus, how we can be more engaged in worship, and practical ways to focus—like taking notes during the sermon.

Whether you’re new to liturgical worship or have been attending church for years, this conversation will help you see the divine service for what it truly is: Christ serving us through Word and sacrament.

    Taking notes are a great blessing. I don’t know if all churches send their service folders by email prior to a service but I find that helps me. I read all the Bible verses and let them sink in. That is how I take notes. Maybe note – hmmmm, this verse isn’t sinking in – let’s see how the Pastor discusses during the sermon or maybe when I hear it again the Lord will give me that “aha” moment of understanding.
