Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division):

1.Opposition to Stephen (6:8-15)

Principle: The world opposes the work of God.

2.Israel’s History Told By Stephen (7:1-53)

Principle: History tells where we came from and points to where we’re going.

3.The Sanhedrin’s Reaction to Stephen’s Testimony (7:54-60)

Principle: When Jesus’ people stand for Him, He stands for His people.

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):

Stephen faces opposition, tells Israel’s history and is stoned.  Sanhedrin stones Stephen after facing opposition and telling Israel’s history.

 

Aim (“To Cause My Audience To…” Know, See, etc.):

TCMATK God’s people will experience opposition and opportunities to share our faith.

 

Application (not yes or no question.  Meant to bring about heart change):

1.What needs to change for you to have a godly response to opposition?

2.How will you connect the people in your sphere of influence with your personal testimony about Jesus and the salvation He offers?

3.What is keeping you from taking a stand for Jesus?

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
