What lessons can you learn from an athlete about the Christian life?
What have you learned from the illustration of the farmer that you will apply to your life?
In what way have you suffered for the gospel?  What do you think others have learned from your suffering?  What have you learned from watching the suffering of others?
What do verses 11-13 mean to you?

What does it mean to “correctly handle the word of truth”?

How would you refute someone who taught that the resurrection already happened?  How would you restore the faith of those who were discouraged by such teaching?
What encouragement do you receive from verse 19?
How are you being made holy and prepared for good works?
How are you pursuing righteousness, faith, love and peace and how will you encourage others to do the same?
What will you do to avoid foolish and stupid arguments and what will you pursue instead?

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...
