Content (not sentence, direct verbiage from Scripture, fit on one line):

19.They came out of town/made their way toward him(4:30)

 

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 tells the Samaritan Woman about living water (John 4:1-15)

Principle:  Wellsprings of living water spring up in Jesus’ people.

2.Jesus tells the Samaritan Woman about true worship (John 4:16-30)

Principle:  True worship is about walking with the person of Jesus, not a place.

 

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

Jesus speaks with a Samaritan Woman about water and worship.

 

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

TCMATK Jesus died for – and desires connection with – all people!

 

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

1.How is Jesus using the living water of Scripture to help you make connections with others?

2.Where are you resisting connecting with others as you worship the Lord?

 

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):

#connection (#wellwaterworship)

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
