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.The Lord roars: For sins I will not relent (Amos 1-2)

Principle:  The Lord forgives – and will judge – all sins.

2.What the Sovereign Lord has spoken against Israel (Amos 3-6)

Principle:  The Lord speaks now to bring His people to repentance.

3.What the Sovereign Lord showed me (Amos) (Amos 7-9)

Principle:  The Lord gives revelation where He wants change and growth.

 

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

The Sovereign Lord roars, spoke against Israel, and showed Amos.

 

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

TCMATK The Lord’s relentless judgment of sin is coming: NOW is the time to repent!

 

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

1.To what sins are you clinging from which the Lord wants to free you, and what godly disciplines might you exchange for them?

2.What is the Sovereign Lord saying to you in this study, and how will you respond to what He is telling you?

3.Where is the Lord growing you in your study of Amos’ prophecy?

 

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):

Judgment

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
