Application:

2
Who needs to hear you testify about Christ being the Light of the world and how He rescued you from walking in darkness?  How will you encourage that person with your testimony?
3
What has God done to make sure you won’t die in your sins?  How will you share this knowledge and pray for others to be rescued from the same fate?
4
In what areas are you struggling to understand Jesus’ teaching?  What will you do submit to God and walk in obedience to Him in those areas?

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...
