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 came to seek and save the lost(18:1-14)

Principle:  Believers seek the lost to introduce them to Jesus so they might be saved.

2.Jesus teaches to forgive seventy-seven times(18:15-35)

Principle:  Jesus set the example of forgiveness for believers by forgiving all our sins.

 

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

Jesus teaches “who is the greatest” and “forgive seventy-seven times.”

 

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

TCMATK Believers follow Jesus’ example of seeking the lost and forgiving from the heart.

 

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

1.How will you pursue the lost around you so you can make the gospel and Jesus known to them?

2.What needs to happen in your heart for you to forgive yourself or someone else from whom you’ve been withholding forgiveness?

 

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):

Christ-likeness (Seeking Others’ Salvation and Forgiving All Sins)

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...
