Like most pastors, I learned early on that if my preaching was to be powerful, it had to be memorable. I tried lots of tactics over the years, but nothing increased the memorability and life-changing impact of my messages as much as the simple act of connecting our small group studies with the weekend message.

Information overload - that is the world we are living in!  It is happening in the church as well.  Our children have their curriculum; our teens are doing something else; the message is on one topic; our personal devotions often on yet another; and then our small group is doing an entirely different topic or book of the Bible!   There is too much information and no time or opportunity to meditate on it, to discuss with others, or to apply all the topics at hand.
