Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division):

1.Israel fights the Philistines, the ark is captured and the Philistines send it back to Israel(4:1-6:12)

Principle: God’s presence doesn’t bless His enemies.

2.Israel rejoices and turns back to the Lord(6:13-7:17)

Principle: God’s presence brings joy.

3.Samuel’s sons don’t follow his ways, so Israel asks for a king(8:1-22)

Principle: God’s presence should be welcomed and desired by His people.

 

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

Philistines capture and return the ark; Israel requests a king.

 

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

TCMATK God’s presence and sovereign leadership is a treasure that blesses His people.

 

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

1.How do you protect yourself from being separated from God’s presence?

2.In what areas of your life do you need to turn back to God and what is preventing you from doing so?

3.Where are you trading God’s leadership for man’s and how will you return your loyalty to God?

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...
