Hebrews 1 Homiletics

Content (not sentence, direct verbiage from Scripture, fit on one line):

1.In past God spoke to ancestors through prophets many times in various ways(1:1)

2.in these last days spoken by Son, whom he appointed heir, thru whom he made universe(1:2)

3.Son=radiance God's glory/exact rep of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word(1:3a)

4.After he provided purification for sins, sat down right hand Majesty in heaven(1:3b)

 

5.So he became as much superior to angels as name he inherited is superior to theirs(1:4)

6.For to which angels God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"?(1:5a)

7.Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?(1:5b)

8.when God brings his firstborn into world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."(1:6)

9.In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire."(1:7)

10.But about Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever(1:8a)

11.a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom”(1:8b)

12.You loved righteousness/hated wickedness; T4 God, set you above your companions(1:9a)

13.by anointing you with the oil of joy."(1:9b)

14.He also says, "In beginning, Lord, you laid foundations of earth(1:10a)

15.the heavens are the work of your hands(1:10b)

16.They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment(1:11)

17.You will roll them up like robe; like garment they will be changed(1:12a)

18.But you remain the same, and your years will never end."(1:12b)

19.To which angels God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I make enemies footstool your feet"?(1:13)

20.Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?(1:14)

 

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.The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being. (Heb 1:1-4)

Principle:  We can know God by knowing Jesus, the Son.

2.The Son is superior to the angels, who were sent to serve those who inherit salvation. (Heb 1:5-14)

Principle:  Jesus is superior to angels.

 

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

Jesus, the radiance of God’s glory, is superior to angels.

 

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

TCMATK Jesus is the exact representation of God’s being, and superior to angels.

 

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

1.What needs to change in my heart for me to better reflect the character of God?

What area of my life would benefit most from being scrutinized by the mind of Christ?

2.In what areas of my life am I failing to revere Christ as Lord?

Where are my thoughts not honoring Christ’s authority and superiority?

 

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’s superiority

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...
