HOMI 500 Persuasive Elements Text: Philippians 1:12-18 Make sure sermon ideas are clear and well worded. Look for development material first in the text. Aim for a balanced appeal to the whole person. Make all development consistent with the idea. Test each segment for its intended function. Carefully plan the introduction and conclusion. Write the division statements you are developing. You may use the sermon idea for planning development for the introduction and conclusion. 1. Believers must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. (vs. 13) 2. Believers must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with confidence and boldness. (vs. 14) 3. Believers must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ without fear. (vs. 14) 4. Believers must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with pure motives. (vs. 15) 5. Believers must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christi with love. (vs. 16) Circle the word or two in your statement that carry the central concept of your idea. Write your core terms here: Proclaim Gospel Write the ideas you have for development as explanation . Explanation aims for an understanding of the biblical and homiletical concepts by using background and interpretation material. Paul uses this portion of Philippians to reassure his readers that his imprisonment was not affecting the advancement and proclaiming of the gospel. He goes on to hit on the motives of the pure and evil people, but he ends up rejoicing because no matter the motives, the gospel is still being preached. Note the development as illustration you will use. Illustration seeks to illuminate the ideas through the use of imagery and narrative to appeal to the imagination of the hearer. In one of DL Moody's meetings, a man once testified that he had lived on the mount of transfiguration for a year; how many souls did you lead to Christ last year? Moody bluntly asked him nicely. The man hesitated. I don't know. Have you saved any? Moody persisted. I don't know what I have, the man admitted. Well said, Moody, we don't want that kind of mountaintop experience. There is something wrong when a man gets up so high that he cannot reach down and save poor sinners. W. Wiersbe, The Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching & Preachers, p. 202. Write your ideas for the development of the argumentation . Argument uses reasons to show how an idea makes sense and to guide it around the rational barriers in the mind of the hearer. 1. Yes, Paul is imprisoned however it does not stop him from preaching Jesus Christ. 2. Ephesians 3:12 tells us that our confidence in boldness comes through our faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, if our faith is strong, we should be able to speak to people about Jesus without feeling insecure and unsure. 3. Being afraid is not what God wants out of His children. 2 Timothy 1:7 says God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. 4. Good intentions are essential because our intentions will determine the measure in which God chooses to bless us. While man looks at the appearance of things that we do, God looks at the heart and the reason why we do the things that we do see 1 Samuel 6:7 5. As Christians, we're supposed to display Christ to others. Jesus told us in Disciples and John 13:35 that people will know who we are, his disciples; by the way, we love one another, period. Ephesians 4:15 also tells us to speak the truth in love. 12 Essential Skills for Great Preaching / Wayne McDill / 2006 / B&H Used by Permission The purpose of this exercise is to use normal persuasive elements in balance to make the best case for sermon ideas.
HOMI 500 Plan your development as an application . Application spells out the implications of the biblical idea and calls for change and action in a faith response. 1. Proclaim the gospel to everyone! We want everyone saved and no one lost. 2. Lay aside insecurities and preach the Word confidently and boldly. 3. God is on our side so don’t be afraid. 4. We must put away our selfish motives, desires, and wants to proclaim the gospel with pure motives so that God can reward us superior 5. We must set aside our attitudes, anger, unforgiveness doubt, and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ lovingly because we love God. Look back over your development notes and check for balance. Be careful about the amount of time a particular segment will take in delivery. Make changes as needed. 12 Essential Skills for Great Preaching / Wayne McDill / 2006 / B&H Used by Permission
