Review for Avdance Preaching Midterm

Parents would ask "Is it true?" If it was true, then it would work.

Children and today's generation ask, "Will it work?" And if it works, they assume that it is true.

-Fits older generation

-Because the deductive sermon declares the truth and then proves it to be true and shows how it works

- Todays generation

• - Because the inductive sermon explores
• whether or not something works,
• or how something works,
• or if something works
• THEN concludes that it is true, or finds truth in the Journey

Inductive

- The Focus is on the story

- It is told in an inductive way

The story

If one can turn a subject into a story with a requisite plot, characters, etc.

- To consider a Journey.

- We are taking walk/drive with audience

-at the end we need to arrive at our destination.

horizontal

Think in terms of scenes and moves

rather than points and sub-points.

- a Whirlpool, one circles idea in even tighter concentric circles until one finds the subject.

- A cone shaped mountain, and a trail that circles higher and higher until the summit is reached.

That of a chalk artist and picture emerging at the end after the application of seemingly urelated colors and shapes.

In Inductive sermon

- One of the points might not make sense

- but since one declares objective at beginning

- and shoots the arrow of the homiletical idea many times

-There are many recovery points.

The preacher must have

1 - Clear, Logical thinking skills

2 - Understanding the big picture of the sermon

1 - narrative

2 - multiple narratives

3 - expository

4 - topical

Key point : Each of these can be developed in a deductive or inductive style

3 dimensional thinking

- The audience wants to see a 3-dimentional plan

- They want to see what the picture looks like

1 - in the details

2 - in the transitions

In Deductive preaching we focus on bricks



in Inductive preaching we focus on mortar

• Both are important to sermon... but real question is on emphasis like right and left thinking

At the outset -- declaring where we're going to go in the rest of the sermon.

- particulars of life experience

and

- points toward principles, concepts, conclusions.

The hearer's need

not the uncertainty of the preacher

1 - Seek to lead rather than push

2 - explore with the people before he explains what they find

3 - Inductive preaching is a quest for discovery

4 - It can -disarm, -interest, and -involve the people in the exploration

5 - It can capitalize on the psychological process of learning from experience.

We take the congregation on exploration

Rather than coming back and telling them the results of the exploration

Inductive

and

Deductive

1 - Narrative

2 - Parables

3 - analogy

4 - dialogue

5 - questions

6 - references to common experiences

1 - Introduce Idea

2 - Explain - illustrate simply

3 - Reason-appeal to the mind

4 - Apply - "go and do"
