A few notes on 2 Peter 1:

 

How precious is your faith to you?  Who in your life is equally precious, but hasn’t heard the gospel yet?  What action will you take this week to change that?

 

How have you experienced grace and peace through knowing Jesus?  How might you share that grace and peace by sharing Christ with someone else?  With whom will you share?

 

How has knowledge of Jesus given you everything you need for a godly life?  In what ways have you experienced that godly life this week?

 

What are your most precious promises of God?  How have they changed how you live?

 

In what way has living for Jesus decreased your desire for worldliness or evil?

 

What are you doing to add goodness to your faith?  Knowledge to your goodness?  Self-control to your knowledge?  Perseverance?  Godliness?  Mutual affection?  Love?  Do you see a natural progression to these characteristics?  How can you help others develop these traits?

 

What evidence do you see in your life that your knowledge of Christ is effective and productive?

 

What happens when you forget you’ve been cleansed of past sin?  How might you keep from forgetting?

 

What action have you taken to confirm your calling and election?

 

Who are you reminding of the truths of Christ and a rich, fulfilling life in God?

 

What action will you take today to refresh your memory about living a godly life?

 

What has Jesus made clear to you lately?

 

What legacy are you leaving for those who will come after you  that will encourage them to live a godly life?

 

Why do you follow Christ?  What evidence makes you believe?

 

What personal experiences with Christ have reinforced your belief?

 

What Scriptures encourage your faith?  How might you use those Scriptures to encourage faith in others?

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...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
