Thanks for sharing this! I’m an old BSF leader just back after being away for many years. I wanted a reminder of how to do homiletics, did a Google search and found your blog. Thanks!
Allowing God's Word to speak blessings into our lives in so important. I am just sitting down to do our next homiletics for Genesis 22-23. I know there are three divisions, but more important I will learn the characteristic of God that is shown in this passage. There will be application questions that I need to consider because of what is shown in the scripture.
Blessings
