A Method for Moving from the Main Idea of a Biblical Text to Sermon Divisions
2019
Overview
The project director conducted the ministry project to improve his ability to determine the main idea of a biblical text, transition to the main idea of the message, and develop an effective process to move to complete sermon division sentences. He desired to improve this skill so parishioners would understand the main idea of the message and apply the message. He researched homiletics texts and conducted a survey of preachers in order to develop a method for moving from the main idea of the text to sermon divisions, since these divisions should flow clearly from a properly identified main idea. The project director then developed a nine-step process for moving from the main idea of the text to sermon divisions. He wrote three New Testament and three Old Testament sermon briefs, applying his nine-step method. Next, he created a sermon brief assessment grid. Then the project director recruited four homiletics professors to use the grids to evaluate his work. The assessment grids contained questions about how the project director performed specific skills relating to each of his six sermon briefs. The respondents rated the statements on a scale of inaccurate, somewhat inaccurate, somewhat accurate, and accurate. Comparative analysis of the four experts’ comments and numerical ratings revealed mixed results as to the project director’s success on his project. In certain areas of sermon development, the projector did not do as well as he expected and in other areas he excelled. He ended the project with increased confidence in his ability to write a sermon brief, which he can further develop into a sermon. He saw further development in some areas of the Nine-Step Approach to improve his sermon development more.
