Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division – a truth about God, a truth about man, a truth about God’s relationship to man; a sin to avoid, promise to trust, example to follow, command to obey, truth to believe):

1.Jesus is crucified (Matthew 27:32-49)

Principle:  Jesus willingly (lovingly) bore the penalty of death for the sins of the world.

2.Jesus gave up His spirit and was placed in Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb (Matthew 27:50-61)

Principle:  Jesus’ physical death released power to tear the temple curtain, shake the earth, break open tombs, raise the dead, make believers and destroy the power of sin over people.

3.The next day, the chief priests and Pharisees asked Pilate to secure the tomb (Matthew 27:62-66)

Principle:  Jesus’ tomb was guarded to prevent deception about His rising from the dead.

 

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

Jesus is crucified, died, placed in Joseph’s tomb and guarded.

 

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

TCMATK Jesus displayed awesome power and grace on the cross and in the tomb.

 

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

1.How has Jesus’ loving, willing sacrifice made you more selfless and generous?

2.What transformation has Jesus’ physical death unleashed on your heart and mind?

3.How is the Holy Spirit guarding your heart and mind from deception?

 

The Big Idea (author’s main purpose in writing; the one thing all the other things in the passage is about; if you couldn’t talk about it, you would still understand the passage is trying to convey this):

#power and grace

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
