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

1.Saul seeks donkeys, finds a seer and is made king; the Lord rescues Jabesh Gilead and Samuel warns Israel not to persist in evil (1 Samuel 9-12)

Principle: God’s people pursue Him over other things.

2.Saul offers sacrifices, Jonathan pursues the Philistines and Israel breaks faith (1 Samuel 13-14)

Principle: God’s people respond to His salvation.

3.Saul disobeys and the Lord rejects him as king (1 Samuel 15)

Principle: God’s people obey 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 God is worthy of our time, attention, pursuit, worship, love and obedience.

 

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

1.Where are you feeling unfulfilled by worldly pursuits and how might seeking God instead satisfy you?

2.In what areas are you seeing God’s activity around you and how will you join Him in His work?

3.What area of partial obedience or disobedience will you commit to repentance and prayerful obedience?

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...
