This Means Love


This Means Love:  Service Projects for Women Who Want to Make a Difference is a. Bible study and service project kit for small groups from Group Publishing.  The Bible study of 1 Corinthians 13 is a good beginner study.  However, the setup can be problematic.  I didn't have access to all of the DVDs for viewing and was unable to find the appropriate clips online.  Because everyone uses the same workbook, and the videos aren't mentioned in a leader guide, but in the study itself, some of the participants became disappointed and didn't engage in the discussion.

We modified the service project that we did to collect personal items for family members of hospice patients and delivered them to the facility.  We also collected magazines, Bible study materials and small gifts for shut-ins and delivered the items while we visited with them.

My group plans to continue meeting weekly and engaging in service projects several times a year.  Overall, this Bible study and service project kit is a good resource.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
