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

1.Absalom avenges his sister’s rape by killing his brother, Amnon.  (2 Samuel 13:1-14:33)

Principle:  True love selflessly seeks what’s best for another.

2.Absalom steals the hearts of the people and the kingdom of Israel. (2 Samuel 15:1-17:23)

Principle:  True leaders earn devotion by modeling it, they don’t steal it.

3.Absalom is killed and David mourns.  (2 Samuel 17:24-18:33)

Principle:  True battle, regardless of success, is costly.

 

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

Absalom avenges Tamar’s rape, steals the kingdom and is killed.

 

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

TCMATK True love, leadership and battle success is found only in Jesus Christ.

 

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

1.What selfishness do you need to let go of to show true love to someone else?

2.Compare Jesus’ leadership characteristics with Absalom’s.  Which characteristics do you share with which leader and how will you pray for God to develop you into a leader like Jesus?

3.How will you engage the battles you are facing right now?

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...
