We are back!   Today’s topic is Applications .   They are open-ended (not “yes” or “no”) questions. You must have one Application for each Division.   They should do one of four things: convict, encourage trust in God, cause evaluation of thinking or create change.   We are after thinking and heart change, here.   Behavior will follow, but shouldn’t be the focus.   Your Applications should also relate to each Division’s text.   Here are my Applications for this exercise: 1.How have you guarded your heart to continue sharing your faith from painful experiences of rejection because of your faith in Jesus? 2.How have you kept your heart from becoming prideful over mission success? 3.How does God minister to you when you get alone with Him that keeps you motivated to seek Him daily?   You will hear “homiletics people” talk about “root versus fruit”.   A change to the root will affect the fruit.   Doing something to the fruit doesn’t alter the root.   We are targeting the r

Alright.   We are back!   Today, we’re discussing the Aim .   The Aim is a statement in your own words describing what you want your audience to take away from your teaching.   It begins with the phrase “TCMATK (To Cause My Audience To Know [See, Learn, Desire, Understand…]).”   The Aim is the goal of the teaching.   It’s the main idea of the passage.   Here is my Aim for this exercise: TCMATK To serve God well, God’s people need to get alone with Him regularly so He can prepare us. Looking at it now, it seems focused more on my third Division.   It does imply the first and second Divisions, but I want to better embrace all three Divisions. Let’s adjust it: Serving God will involve rejection and success, so God’s people need to get alone with Him so He can prepare us. Does that sound better?   What does your Aim look like? That’s all for today.   I understand the main takeaway of the passage to be that serving God will bring both success and rejection and that I nee

Welcome back!   We’re talking about the Subject Sentence today!   Your Subject Sentence must be ten words or less.   It must be grammatically correct.   It must touch upon each of your Divisions.   It must identify where you are in Scripture.   Sound simple?   It can be very challenging and a lot of fun to craft your Subject Sentence. Often, I will start this process by writing words that I think are important to include.   For example, I wrote these words: “Jesus Nazareth cliff Capernaum authority healing demons out solitary place” for Luke 4:14-44.   Then I shaved and massaged and added and subtracted and smoothed.   And came up with this: “After teaching Nazareth and Capernaum, Jesus seeks a solitary place.” It’s exactly ten words. It is grammatically correct.   I would’ve liked to write, “After teaching in Nazareth and Capernaum,” but that would’ve put me at 11 words, so I embraced the idea that Jesus taught the towns. It touches on each of my Divisions. It gi

Alright, we’re back.   I hope you’re using your own Content for this, but you will find mine here ( https://word-up-studies.blogspot.com/2019/05/homiletics-luke-414-44.html ).   We’re looking at Divisions today.   You will have between two and four Divisions.   You still want to use wording directly from the Scripture passage.   Look at your Content.   Where do you see natural breaks in the passage?   Look for words like: Then, After, Therefore, When.   Look for changes in scenery or tone. You cannot create a Division in the middle of a piece of Content.   For example, I cannot create a Division for 4:14-30.   I must break at verse 29 or go all the way to verse 32 because I wrote my Content grouping those verses. So, where do you see natural breaks?   I see 4:14-29 (or 30) and 4:30 (31)-44 which has Jesus in Nazareth in the 1 st Division and Capernaum in the 2 nd .   I also see 4:14-29 (or 30), 4:30 (31)-36 and 4:37-44 which shows Jesus in the synagogue in Nazareth, in the

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
