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

1.David receives Goliath’s sword from Ahimelek the priest, flees to Gath and behaves like a madman before King Achish’s men. (1Sa 21)

Principle: Jesus’s people experience challenges yet move forward with the help of godly people.

2.David flees to Adullam, leaves his father and mother in Moab, while Saul’s shepherd, Doeg, kills 85 priests including Ahimelek and every living thing in Nob; Ahimelek’s son Abiathar escapes and joins David. (1 Sa 22)

Principle: Jesus’ people experience fear and persecution and persevere by helping others.

3.David inquires of the Lord and saves Keilah, escapes to the wilderness, makes another covenant with Jonathan and evades Saul. (1 Sa 23)

Principle: Jesus’ people experience answers to prayer and are drawn to increasingly inquire of Him.

4.David cuts Saul’s robe, Saul declares David’s righteousness and David gives an oath not to wipe out Saul’s name. (1 Sa 24)

Principle: Jesus’ people experience conviction and come to repent.

 

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

David flees, Doeg kills 85+ and David cuts Saul’s robe.

David takes Goliath’s sword, leaves parents in Moab, saves Keilah and cuts Saul’s robe. –became-

*David flees, takes Goliath’s sword, protects parents and spares Saul.

 

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

TCMATK When you flee an enemy, mourn a friend, protect a family member or fight a battle, God hears, guides, comforts and protects His people. –became-

*Wherever you go and whatever you do, God hears, guides, comforts and protects His people.

 

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

1.Who do you run to for encouragement and support and how does that relationship motivate you to be a supportive encourager to someone else who needs it?

2.In what area(s) are you obsessing about yourself and how might you change your focus to point another to God for their protection or provision?

3.What needs to change so you’ll inquire of the Lord more often this week?

4.Where do you need to commit to waiting on God rather than laying a hand on His anointed?

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...
