defined message. Before proceeding to prepare a sermon, every preacher must

ideas about a text in our minds?

Lesson 6 - Expository Sermons - An expository sermon is one that takes as its text a long
Bible passage. The ancient Church Fathers referred to such sermons as 'Homilies'; hence the

Chapter II. The arrangement of the skeleton will be the basis of that order.

put an end to your rambling.

Lesson 10 - Bible Study Classes - But there is another method of instruction, called Class
Biblical, in which not only the preacher, but the listeners can take part, and although this exceeds
the limits of Homiletics, because of how important it is for Christian pastors and instructors, do not

a house: they let the light of the argument enter the most obtuse minds, to whom the ideas

What is Homiletics:
Lahomilética, in theology, is the discursive genre through which it is carried out
religious preaching. As such, homiletics denotes both the art of preaching and the
discipline that is responsible for its study.

The word, as such, comes from the Greek homiletikos, which means 'gathering'.
conversation

In this sense, homiletics is a dissertation through which it is explained, applying the

general principles of rhetoric, a determined religious doctrine, mainly the
Christian.

According to the Bible, preaching or the homiletic sermon was the main form used by
Christ to communicate faith during his earthly ministry, which would be followed by the
apostles to transmit the general principles of religion to others.

There are two fundamental types of homiletics, depending on their intentions. For one
on one side is the ministry, which is directed towards believers, and on the other side
find the teaching, which is directed at non-believers in the faith of Christ.

As a field of study, homiletics deals with composition, development and

the appropriate content for the correct preaching of the sermon. Three elements,
As such, they stand out for their composition: the choice of a theme, a structure, and a style.
The lost items, in Catholic doctrine, generally deal with faith and customs;
classic structure, on the other hand, used to be the reading of a passage for its interpretation and
explanation according to its doctrinal points; and the style that could be a simulated dialogue
between an imaginary subject, in the manner of a debate.

The purpose of homiletics is to provide priests with the discursive tools to

to transmit, through the word, the Christian dogma and morality in a more effective way.

solemn that forms, along with the mass, a whole. As such, only the priest is authorized
to teach it, since homiletics is part of their studies.

Evangelical Homiletics
Evangelical homiletics is characterized by having greater freedoms in preaching than
the Catholic. It can be presented both by the pastor and by any other member of the
congregation. In this sense, unlike the Catholic one, it does not require ordination. In addition,
can be adapted to various modern formats, such as conferences, talks or the
symposia.

interaction with another person. However, the word homily was originated by the
homiletics, responsible for providing priests with the discursive tools to
prepare and present biblical sermons in an effective and interesting way to captivate
the gifts.

For more information, consult the article on homiletics.

The homily, as part of the liturgy, situated between the reading of the Word and the prayer of
the faithful can be seen as a form of preaching or interpretation, from the beginning
of the same Christianity, which consists of a sermon to understand simply and
easy the Holy Scripture.

The homily must be delivered by the priest who presides over the mass, a priest
a concelebrant or a deacon, but it should never be by a layperson, seminarian, assistants
pastoral, among others. In exceptional cases, the homily may be delivered by a Bishop or a
priest who is at the celebration but is not presiding over it.

Regarding this point, the homily in the evangelical mass can be presented by the
pastor, or any other member of the organization, without the need for a
ordering.

The homily is present on all Sundays or days of obligation, although for reasons
graves can be removed from the ritual.

Currently, there are websites where homilies can be found.

Sunday readings that include meditations and/or reflections on each reading that will be
developed in the Sunday mass. Likewise, these pages have the service that
the homilies can be automatically sent to the believer's email.

The synonyms of homily are sermon, speech, lesson, explanation.

Missionary preaching

Christ himself preached and commissioned his apostles to do so. His preaching included two
forms of sermon, the missionary and ministerial (which correspond tolTeachingand the
ministryfrom the Church), the first for the unbelievers, the last for those who are already in the
Christian faith. Among these, we have a notable example in the speech after the
Last Supper, (John, chapters 14 to 16)

It cannot be said that preaching had definite or rounded forms, in the sense
of a modern sermon; its aim was to sow the seed of the word, which he scattered in
emission, just like in the parable of the sower. His commission to his apostles includes
both forms. In the first case or missionary preaching, see Matthew chapter 28
verse 19
Verse 2, the sermon refers to the Apostle Paul in Acts chapter 20, verse 7.
at 11, it is an example of the second type of preaching. In this, the apostles received the
support from the attendees who were chosen and consecrated for a purpose, for example,
Timothy and Titus, as well as those who have been favoredI go withcharisms. The homily
what does it refer toJustin Martyrit is a defense of the example of the ministry, in contrast to
the missionaries, the preaching.
