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; a sin to avoid, promise to trust, example to follow, command to obey, truth to believe):

1.Jesus tells the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast(13:31-35)

Principle:  The kingdom of heaven will grow.

2.Jesus tells the parables of the treasure, the pearl of great value and the net; describes the end of the age and speaks about teachers of the law who become disciples(13:44-53)

Principle:  The kingdom of heaven is a valuable treasure.

3.Jesus teaches in His hometown and did not do many miracles because of their lack of faith(13:54-58)

Principle:  The kingdom of heaven must sometimes be introduced by an outsider.

 

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

Jesus finished parables, taught “prophet…without honor…in own town.”

 

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

TCMATK Inviting God’s sovereignty over your life is a wonderful, valuable treasure that will bring challenges to grow the kingdom by sharing the Gospel in places foreign to us.

 

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

1.How am I capitalizing on the opportunities I have to plant seeds/spread yeast so God can grow the kingdom of heaven?

2.How do people know you value the kingdom of God?  What would others say your priorities in life are?

3.How have you experienced challenges to your witness in your own town/home and how will this change your prayers and your attitude toward witnessing in “foreign” places?

 

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):

The kingdom of God is a valuable treasure.

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...
