The document discusses various aspects of homiletics, including: - Hermeneutics and exegesis in determining the meaning of biblical texts - Different types of preaching like topical, textual, and biographical preaching - Key elements of sermon construction like the introduction, body, and conclusion - Methods for analyzing and structuring ideas from biblical texts into sermons

1. HOMILETICS

2. What is Homiletics It is a combination of both hermeneutics and exegesis. - Hermeneutics is the science/ principle and art/ task by which the meaning of the biblical text is determined. - Exegesis is the determination of meaning of the biblical text in its historical and literary contexts.

3. - Topical preaching: takes a text to get only the top. - Unless it is Biblical it does not make a sense. It must strictly be kept biblical. - Textual preaching: this is whereby people a text and they only preach on what is in the text. 1John 2:16 - Biographical preaching: this is a type of preaching that deals with biography of the one preached who is Christ. Paul does not have a mission neither the church has one but God has a mission.

4. - Exposition is the communication of the text along with its relevance to present day hearers. - Pedagogy is the science/ principle and art/ task by which meaning and relevance to the biblical text is communicated in teaching situation. - Expository preaching is the communication of a biblical concept, derived from and transmitted through a historical, grammatical, and literary study of a passage in its context, which the holy spirit first applies to the personality and the experience of the preacher, then through the preacher, applies to the hearers.

5. A BOOK OF ROBERTSON - It says the passage governs the sermon - It is more a philosophy than a method DO YOU USE A SCRIPTURE TO SUPPORT YOUR THOUGHTS OR DO YOU USE YOUR THOUGHTS TO SUPPORT THE SCRIPTURE?

6. - Every passage speaks about a main idea - Single sermon should have one main idea Main idea 1.1 1.2 - Every main idea must be placed applicationably. - It must be done inductively which means – start by experiences of the people and then go to the Bible. - Your main idea must be able to attract the listeners/ hearers.

7. The subject in homilectics is not based on one word. - The subject cannot stand alone - It must be predicated a) What am I talking about b) What am I saying about it - The compliment changes the idea - Every single text have a context - To make a reference to various units within a text easier, we are to give them names. - A text of course consists of words that are combined into sentences. - A number of sentences make a pericope. A pericope may stand within a form e.g ( controversy saying or miracle narrative). - A pericope is something very closely related to what we today call a paragraph.

9. The Anatomy of an idea If a sermon is well designed, these questions can be answered satisfactorily. STRUCTURAL 1. What is the man talking about? 2. What is he saying about it? FUNCTIONAL 3. What does he mean? 4. Is it true? Do I believe it? 5. So what? What difference does it make? Every sermon must have one subject though the compliments are many. For example
