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.Judah has gone into exile; the Lord has abandoned His
sanctuary (Lam 1-2)
Principle: The
Lord will not dwell where He is not welcome.
2.I have seen the affliction of the Lord’s wrath, yet the
Lord is good to the one who seeks Him (Lam 3)
Principle: God
warns of judgment to come and pardons those who seek Him.
3.My people have become heartless, yet You, Lord, reign
forever (Lam 4-5)
Principle: In
spite of people’s sin, the Lord reigns forever.
Subject Sentence (10-word
sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):
Judah exiled, sanctuary abandoned, I have hope: the Lord
reigns.
Aim (“To Cause My
Audience To…” Know, See, Learn, Understand, etc.):
TCMATK The Sovereign Lord, Whose compassions never fail,
reigns forever.
Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.Where do you need to invite the Lord into your
activity, and how will you do that?
2.How are you pursuing God in spite of suffering?
3.What about you reveals that the Lord reigns over your
life?
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):
