Bible Study Of The Book Of Romans

Homiletics

The Art Of Preaching

An Informal Exposition of Scripture

By reading Scripture within a particular framework of time, you, too, can learn how to take a book of the Bible down to 280-310 words, composing your very own “Bible Quick Read” !

This technique was taught to the group leaders of a Bible study through BSF, the Bible Study Fellowship program. We began by setting up a 32 week schedule of reading and studying a cherished book of God’s word!

I will be presenting an exposition of our study of the Book of Romans. The study ran for 32 weeks and was then divided down into the following weekly chapters studied during that set interval.

Here Is How You Will Begin!

Now that you have seen the breakdown of the study verses with a Titled Sub Heading, the rest should be easy for you! Commit yourself now to reading God’s Word from Romans.

Homeletics is just a matter of “doing the outline” of the verses listed for study. You learned how to “outline” when you were in Middle or High School. I will be presenting several of my own “out-lines” chosen randomly from the above verses to show you how I got the Subject Sentences.

You Are Learning How To Prepare Homiletics!

Let’s Begin:

Your outline will consist of:

A What Is it About?

(Topics or events to outline, you will need 10-20. You may use phrases if you like.)

B Divisions

(Titles, 3 or 4 short sentences. These are squeezed down content from your “What Is It About?” paragraph.

C Subject Sentence

Now, that wasn’t hard, was it?

First Example Taken From Week 2—Romans 1:1-17

A What Is It About? (Topics or events, need 10 to 20. You may use phrases if you like.)

1 RM 1:1-4 Paul introduces his letter, declaring who he is in Jesus Christ to the “New Christians” in Rome.

2 RM 1:5-6 Paul tells the “New Christians” that they, too, are called to apostleship as they, in obedience, tell the Word to all Jews and Gentiles.

3 RM 1:7 Paul gives his salutation to all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints and blesses them with grace and peace through God and Jesus Christ.

4 RM 1:8-10 The “New Christians” in Rome are told how they are constantly in Paul’s prayers, and how he prays that at last, he may come to see them by God’s will.

5 RM 1:11-12 Paul tells them that he longs to see them and encourage them in their faith life.

6 RM 1:13-15 He wants them to know he has tried desperately to see them, to harvest them as he has done among the Gentiles, and how eager he is to preach the Gospel to them.

7 RM 1:16-17 Paul says openly that he is not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is by the power of God for the Salvation of all, Jews and Gentiles, and has been revealed through the righteousness of God for the faithful.

First RM 1:1-7 Paul addersses his letter to the New Christians in Rome.

Third RM 1:13-15 Paul tells them he is obligated to all, and that he is eager to preach to them.

Fourth RM 1:16-17 Paul is not ashamed of the Gospel.

C Subject Sentence (In TEN words, further condensation. Look at Divisions and take down to ONE sentence.)
