FIRST READING TIPS

Effective Delivery Techniques

  1. Start with a smile, pause for 3 seconds, and make direct eye contact with the congregation to establish a connection before beginning the reading.
  2. Speak with expression, use inflections, and emphasize key points to convey the awe and joy of the Acts of the Apostles reading effectively.
  3. Conclude by pausing for 3 seconds, then clearly and strongly say "the word of the Lord" without letting it fall off or swallow it.

Key Content Highlights

  1. Emphasize how Peter's shadow healed the sick, paralleling Jesus' hem, demonstrating the faith and trust in the apostles' healing abilities.
  2. Highlight the widespread impact of the apostles' signs and wonders, with "great numbers of men and women" joining the community of believers.
  3. Stress that "all were cured" when large numbers from surrounding towns brought the sick and those with unclean spirits, showcasing the power of God's healing through the apostles.

SECOND READING TIPS

Presentation Techniques

Orient the audience to the unique nature of Revelation as a "book of visions" before reading, emphasizing its difference from other biblical texts.

Use a commanding and deliberate voice, mimicking a "trumpet blast", to capture attention when reading John's encounter with the "son of man".

Emotional Delivery

Convey John's initial distress and exile at the beginning, then transition to a tone of amazement and awe as the vision unfolds.

Dramatize John's reaction of "falling down as though dead" when he sees the "son of man", emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the vision.

Key Message Focus

Highlight the reassuring message of the "son of man" holding the "keys to death and the netherworld", connecting it to Jesus' "I am" statements.

Emphasize the three-part command to John: write down "what he has seen", "what is happening", and "what will happen afterwards".
