ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 9

Analysing a Great Sermon

Teaching points

  • The chapter reflects on gospel communication and the real concerns of listeners. Prepare a message that explains the text and communicates Christ with clarity.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • 1 Corinthians 2:1–5
  • 2 Timothy 4:2

Reflect

  • What might an unfamiliar listener misunderstand in your usual vocabulary?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Outline a short message with a passage, central claim, explanation, and practical response.
