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

1.The Lord appears to Solomon a second time.(9;1-9)

Principle:

2.Solomon builds up towns and runs a fleet of ships with Hiram of Tyre.(9:10-28)

Principle:

3.Solomon shares wisdom with the Queen of Sheba.(10:1-13)

Principle:

4.Solomon’s dealings with the world.(10:14-29)

Principle:

 

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

Sheba’s queen praises the Lord for Solomon’s wisdom and wealth.

 

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

TCMATK The Lord is the Giver of wisdom and wealth and everything else and He deserves our praise for all that we have.

 

For me: Our relationship with the Lord is at the heart of all other relationships we will ever have in life and should be prioritized, nurtured and developed.

 

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

1.How has the last instruction you received from the Lord changed your thinking and what fruit are you seeing as a result?

2.What are you building and with whom are you building it?  Is the Lord in the midst of this partnership? 

3.What words of wisdom has the Lord given to you that you’ve shared with someone to encourage them?  How do you respond when someone praises your wisdom or abilities? 

4.What needs to be transformed in your thinking for you to more effectively share the Gospel with the world?
