Principle: Remembering what God has done for us can motivate us to be courageous and obedient.

3.Joshua to Israel: “Serve the Lord” and died at 110 (Joshua 24)

Principle: Remembering where we’ve come from can help us serve God well and appreciate the inheritance we have in Him.

 

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

Aim (“To Cause My Audience To…” Know, See, etc.):

TCMATK When the battles have ended, we must still guard against sin and serve the Lord.

2.How are you living now so that when you’re old you’ll give godly counsel?

3.What changes might you need to consider for you to keep Jesus as the focus of your service?

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...
