Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture):

1
6-11
Jesus is Coming Soon:  Keep the Words of this Prophecy
Principle:
All Scripture is trustworthy and true and should lead us to worship God alone!
2
12-16
Jesus is Coming Soon:  Prepare for the Return of the King
Principle:
Serving Christ now prepares us to serve Him when He returns and throughout eternity.
3
17-21
Jesus is Coming Soon:  Come to Him Now and Experience His Grace
Principle:
Obeying Scripture leads to reward while adding to or taking away from it leads to suffering.

 

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

Jesus promises He’s coming soon and blesses His obedient people.

 

Aim:

TCMATK Jesus’ return is imminent and we should use the time before that moment to read and study His Word and share His love, grace and gospel message, preparing ourselves and others for the coming kingdom.

 

Application:

1
How has the study of the book of Revelation led you to worship God?
In what way has your worship of Christ changed your relationships with other people?
What are you doing to “keep the words of this prophecy”?
2
What should you be doing for Christ now and what will you give up to add it to your schedule?
How will you show Jesus that He is your “Alpha & Omega, 1st & Last, Beginning & End” this week?
What are you doing to “keep your robes clean” while you await Jesus’ return?
3
In what ways are you coming to Jesus to satisfy your thirst?
When might you be tempted to add to or take away from the words of Scripture and how will you protect yourself from doing so?
What action will you take this week to be sure the grace of Jesus is with God’s people?

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
