Divisions:

1
4:25-5:8
God created Adam in His likeness, Adam died to 930, Seth fathered Enosh at 105 then men began to call on the name of the Lord.
Principle:
Since God created man in His likeness and Jesus is the incarnate form of God, men were created in the likeness of Christ.
God reached out to man when he formed him from dust.  Calling on the name of the Lord is one way man reaches out to God.
2
5:9-24
Enosh died at 905, Kenan died at 910, Mahalalel died at 895, Jared died at 962, Enoch fathered Methuselah at 65 and God took him at 365.
Principle:
Walking with God leads to spending eternity with God.
Believers who are alive when Christ returns will be taken like Enoch was.
3
5:25-32
Methuselah died at 969, Lamech died at 777, Noah was 500 when he fathered Shem, Ham and Japheth.

What sort of legacy have your ancestors left for your children?

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
