Episode Notes: Part Three - "PREPARATION"
Introduction:
Welcome to the third instalment of our "Guide to Preaching" series. In this episode, we embark on a journey of preparation, an essential stage for any preacher. To borrow a culinary analogy, just as a recipe begins with catching the rabbit, preaching the Word begins with understanding the message of the Word. In this episode, we explore the crucial steps for effectively preparing expository messages.
Survey the Historical Background:
To embark on the path of effective preparation, the first step is to understand the historical background of the book you're studying. Reading the book provides insights into its immediate historical context. Pay close attention to the author, the intended audience, and the conditions and circumstances surrounding them. The recipient's context is often the key to grasping the book's message. Always ask what the subject of the book is and why it was written.
Read Other Sources:
Consult reference Bibles, Bible dictionaries, and commentary introductions to gain additional insights and confirm your conclusions.
Write a Summary:
Compose a concise summary, not exceeding one page, that addresses essential questions:
- Who wrote the book?
- Who were the recipients (with a focus on their conditions)?
- When was it written?
- What is the subject of the book, and why was it written?
Understand the structure of each literary unit. Look for the literary structure within each chapte/book. It often revolves around particular aspects:
- Places (e.g., Nehemiah)
- People or relationships (e.g., Colossians 3:18-4:1, Titus 2:1-10)
- Time (e.g., Ezra)
- Commands (e.g., Colossians 3:5-17, 4:2-6)
- Repetition of a phrase (e.g., 1 John 1:5-2:2, Judges, Genesis)
- Subjects (e.g., Psalm 19:1-14)
- Activities (e.g., Matthew 28:16-20)
- Questions (e.g., Daniel 12:5-13)
- Reasons (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8)
- Explanations (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 4:
