Divisions (run-on
sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division):
1.In Love (8-14)
Principle: God’s love flows out of people who belong to
Christ.
2.In Partnership (15-17)
Principle: God’s people are unified partners through
Christ.
3.In Generous Obedience (18-22)
Principle: God’s children are generous and obedient
because of Christ.
Subject Sentence (10-word
sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):
Paul appeals to Philemon in love, partnership and
obedience for Onesimus.
Aim (“To Cause My
Audience To…” Know, See, etc.):
TCMATK Christians extend grace and mercy through love and
unity, generosity and obedience to those who have wronged them. And they do this with celebration when those
who have wronged them become believers, themselves.
Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.In what current circumstances will you choose to act in
Christ’s lavish love rather than merely doing what you ought to do?
2.How have you seen God work through the partnering of Christian
effort? How does this inspire you to
serve Him?
3.How has Christ’s sacrifice for you motivated you to
sacrifice for other believers?
