Divisions:

1
8:20-9:7
Noah made offerings and God blessed him and gave him animals to eat.
Principle:
Worshiping God should be our first response after any situation.
God demands an accounting for shed blood.
2
9:8-17
God made a covenant with Noah and his descendants with the bow in the cloud as a sign.
Principle:
God promised to never again destroy all life by flood.
The bow in the cloud is pointed toward God.
3
9:18-29
Noah made wine, Ham made a mistake, Shem and Japheth made Noah proud, and Noah lived to 950.
Principle:
Drunkenness leads to uncharacteristic behavior.
When we witness someone else’s embarrassment, we should keep It to ourselves.
Love covers a multitude of sins.

 

Subject Sentence:

Noah receives a blessing, new diet, covenant and long life.

 

Aim (Christian and Non-Christian):

TCMAT know that God’s promise to Noah is also to us and we should always seek to display God-honoring behavior.

 

Application:

1
What was your response to God after the last situation He brought you through?
How might you ensure that you would respond with worship following any circumstance in the future?
2
How does God’s covenant with Noah affect His people today?
3
How should we handle a situation when we witness someone else’s embarrassment?
How can we practice “love covering a multitude of sins”?

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...
