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

TCMATK God has called us to prepare the way for Jesus in the lives of others and has given us the example of Christ to follow.

 

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

1.What preparations have you made for Jesus to enter your life each day?  How have you prepared the way for Jesus to enter the lives of others?  What motivates you to share Jesus with others?  How will you tap into that motivation this week to share Him with at least one other person?  Who will that person be?

2.How are you preparing yourself to impact the world in the name of Jesus?  What do you need to do to prepare yourself to resist temptation?  Who are the people in your “support system”?  How do you encourage and motivate each other to keep going in the face of adversity?

3.What is Jesus teaching you in this passage and how will you apply it?  How is Jesus healing the broken places of your life?  How will you encourage healing in the lives of others?  Where do you need the Holy Spirit to improve your prayer life?  How will you cooperate with Him to draw closer to Jesus?

Pastor Matt Sermon Notes:

John Mark.  Nephew of Barnabus.  Confrontation of ministry too much?  Ran home.  Paul and Barnabus split over Mark.  Paul later acknowledged Mark’s value to himself (Timothy).

 

Harmony of the Gospels

Matthew – Christ as King

Mark – Christ as Servant (10:45 key verse)

Luke – Christ’s as Man, His humanity

John – Christ as God

 

Mark gets right down to business.

John preached, “Repent” and he baptized Jews.

Culturally, Jews didn’t need baptism.  Gentiles needed to be baptized into Judaism.

 

John’s baptism: repent of your sin.

The One that’s coming will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

Paul asked Christians where he observed something missing: “Have you received the Holy Spirit?”  They were saved, but not empowered.  They had received John’s baptism of repentance in water.  These two baptisms don’t always happen at the same time.

 

Jesus told his disciples to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

 

Peter and John going up to Samaria.

 

Acts 10 – Peter at Cornelius’ house.  Gentiles baptized by the HS before being baptized in water for repentance.

 

The Trinity appears at Jesus’ baptism.  Jesus, Holy Spirit in form of dove, Father’s voice.

 

The Holy Spirit led Jesus throughout His entire ministry.

 

Temptation was just like the temptation in the Garden of Eden.  Adam and Eve said, “OK.”  Jesus said, “No way.”  Jesus passed the test.

 

John fulfilled his purpose.  And passes out of the scene.  Goes to prison.  Eventually loses his head.  Whatever you lose for Jesus, you’ll never be sorry!

 

Believe and repent are BOTH necessary for salvation!  There must be heart change AND action.  Repentance w/o belief is religion.

 

The Good News told the Good News.  J

 

John 1:35-42 – Andrew and Simon met Jesus before He called them to follow Him.  When you have a second encounter with Christ, He will call you.  Immediately, the disciples left their nets, livelihood.  Seven of the 12 were fishermen.

 

The power is in immediacy.  Procrastination is rejection of the word!

 

Synagogues were little fellowship gathering places run by laymen of the town.  People could come in and teach.  People were astonished by His teaching, His authority.  Not like the scribes – ouch!  They never heard the word of God taught with authority.  That synagogue was a breeding ground for unclean spirits.  Nobody knew he was there.  When an unclean spirit hears the word of God taught with authority, it will drive a demon crazy!  There is resistance.  A person’s response to the Word of God being taught with authority can be just like this demon-possessed man!  These demons are in the church!  This was an exciting day in Capernaum.  The demon knew and feared Jesus.  Yet he was lost.  Why was the demon there?

 

My response to God’s word reveals my condition.

 

Demons must obey Jesus!  Jesus can rebuke the uncleanness in me.  I must surrender to God, resist the devil and he will flee.  When we have a problem with uncleanness, we are surrendering to the devil and resisting God in that area.

 

Don’t let the demons talk!  Anyone who doesn’t know Jesus has no business speaking about Him!  Jesus didn’t want the demons talking about Him because of misrepresentation.  Isn’t it just like the demonic to shift the word of God slightly.  We need to tell the demons to quit talking!

 

Go be with God.  Jesus ministered most of the night and He’s up before dawn to spend time with God!

 

Jesus came to preach.  He did other things, but He came to preach.  He preached in the synagogues and more demons came out and were cast out.  Lord, cast the demons out of the Church.  Empower my Pastor to preach with Your authority.  May that authority reveal where the demons are sitting and rile them up so they go away.  Prepare the Pastor You have to succeed Pastor Hoyt and fill him with the empowerment to preach with Your authority.

 

Jesus touches and speaks.

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 while, now.   And I would like to share wit
