"Getting" something out of the sermon

Reportedly said to a local minister at the end of the worship service, "Pastor, I didn't get anything from your sermon today." To which the minister responds, ''Is that so. And how did you prepare for the worship today: prayer, reading Bible, praising God in song"?
     The word choice of "getting something" could be viewed with a double meaning: (1) the person did not actively seek out something to grasp and take away or 'own', (2) the person patiently waited to take receipt of something which appeared not to have been delivered; or if delivered was not recognized as such. In other words, to exclaim that I didn't get anything from your sermon today" ironically casts blame in both directions: to say that the speaker failed to communicate something of substance or coherence, but also to say that the listener did not fulfill his or her responsibilities.
