11
The Lord provides help for Moses and meat for the people.
Principle:

2
12
The Lord disciplines Miriam for speaking against Moses.
Principle:
The Lord disciplines those He loves.

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure):

TCMATK God provides all we need and gives us many of our wants and disciplines those He loves, treating us tenderly in our confinement.

 

Application:

How has the Lord dealt with you when you’ve complained about what He has provided for you?
Under what circumstances have you approached God to relieve a burden?
How might delegating responsibility to someone else relieve a burden you’re experiencing now?
What is the greatest achievement of the Lord you’ve experienced recently?
How do you feel (and react) when you receive too much of a good thing?
2
What evidence do you find in Scripture for Moses’ humility?
What might the Lord say to someone who speaks against you in your defense?
How do you respond to God’s discipline?
What does Scripture say about God’s discipline?
In what way have you approached God on behalf of someone being disciplined?
How does the camp’s delay to move reveal God’s love 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...
