7/8th graders listen up! We are going to spend the last couple of weeks of school preparing our sermons for Bible, English and Etymology. The sermon is the 8th graders rite of passage and their major thesis for the year. They are bringing all their skills, knowledge, passion and devotion to bear on a message they believe in, and are convinced we need to hear.
The following 8th graders will be giving their sermons on May 22, in combined chapel: Tyler, Jenna, Jonathan, and Krista.
On May 29, Evan, Morgan, Linde and Kelly will give their sermons.
Message Preparation:
Step One: Find the main idea of your passage. You can ask some of the following questions to find the main idea of your passage:
Who is doing the main action?
What action is being doen? Who or what is the action being done to?
Why is this happening?
Where is this happening?
How is this happening?
This step includes observation and interpretation to discover the main idea.
Step Two: Now you are going to persuade your audience to do something — application.
Who? You
What? I am going to use the example praying
Why? You should do this because… praying will connect you to the power of God
When? You should do this… daily
Where? You should do this… anywhere, a quiet place, etc
How? You should do this… on your knees, standing up, etc
How long? You should do this… all the time
Step Three: Conclude with a challenge that is appropriate, doable, and challenging!
…we have seen in this passage how important praying to God is. I challenge you to set aside a set amount of time each day, in a special place to pray to God starting today!
