Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):

TCMATK Believers in Christ are not condemned, but are God’s Children and will share in Christ’s inheritance.

 

Application (not yes or no question.  Meant to bring about life change):

1.How has the knowledge that there is no condemnation for those in Christ changed your thinking about your relationship with Jesus and your pursuit of godliness?

2.In what ways has living according to fleshly desires failed to provide lasting satisfaction and how has living according to the Spirit brought genuine fulfillment to your life (or the life of a friend)?

3.If you are a believer, how has the knowledge that you are a child of God impacted your relationships with God and others and your service to Christ?  If you’re not a believer, how does knowing that believers enjoy this relationship with God affect your decision to become a follower of Christ?

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...
