Divisions (run-on
sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each
Division – a truth about God, a truth about man, a truth about God’s
relationship to man):
1.Jacob’s wives and children(Genesis 30:1-24)
Principle: God’s
will and timing cannot be forced.
2.Jacob’s wages(Genesis 30:25-43)
Principle: God
gives and God takes away.
3.Jacob’s Lord tells him to go back to the land of his
fathers(Genesis31:1-16)
Principle: God
ultimately sends His people home.
4.Jacob takes his family and flocks and leaves
Laban(Genesis 31:17-55)
Principle: God’s
will prevails in His time.
Subject Sentence (10-word
sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):
Jacob grows family, defines wages, leaves when God says,
“Go.”
Aim (“To Cause My
Audience To…” Know, See, Learn, Understand, etc.):
TCMATK God has a plan and that plan will come to pass in
God’s timing.
Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.How does knowing God is sovereign help you trust His
timing and will?
2.How does trusting God’s plans to prosper you help you
maintain peace in seemingly unfair circumstances?
3.How is your faith and prayer life growing stronger as
you wait on God’s direction?
4.What are you dwelling on other than God’s will and
direction?
The Big Idea (author’s
main purpose in writing; the one thing all the other things in the passage is
about; if you couldn’t talk about it, you would still understand the passage is
trying to convey this):
God’s sovereignty
