Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture):  I had a hard time coming up with these divisions.

1
1-16
Jesus makes mud on the Sabbath to display the works of God in a man born blind, dividing the Pharisees (divided here because of “Then” at beginning of v.17)
Principle:
Every day is a good day to display the works of God.
2
17-34
Pharisees question the blind man and his parents, and throw the man out of the synagogue
Principle:
True believers stand for Christ regardless of the circumstances.
3
35-41
Jesus reveals Himself to the man born blind and reveals to the Pharisees their blindness
Principle:
People can have physical sight and be blind spiritually.

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure):  This wrote itself this week.

Jesus’ mud opens the eyes of a man born blind.

 

Aim:

TCMATK Jesus reveals Himself and our blindness so He may be displayed in the lives of His people.

 

Application:

1
What will you do this week so God can display His works in your life?  How will you encourage others to display God’s works in their lives?
2
In what way will you take a stand for Christ this week and how will you engage God to prepare for that moment?
3
What has Jesus revealed to you about Himself or your blindness this week and what will you do with that revelation?

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...
