  1. SCC University What we believe and why we believe it!

  2. Study Tactics • 3 Basics Stages • Observation • Interpretation • Application

  3. Study Tactics – The Paragraph • Paragraph Study: • 1) General & Specifics • Galatians 5:16 - But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Gal 5:19-21/Gal 5:22-23 • 2) Q & A • Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? • Homework– Identify Questions in Mark 2:1 – 3:6 • 3) Dialogue • 1)Participants, 2) Nature (type, tone etc.), 3) Setting (place and people)

  4. Study Tactics – Discourse • Discourse (Story, episode, unit of thought, theme) • The idea is that it can be small (maybe just a few verses) or long stories that span several chapters and have unique sub-sections (like the story of Joseph in Genesis). • How do we identify discourses? • 1) Start Small • Are there repeated words or ideas? • Look for logical connections • Conjunctions? (i.e. “therefore”)

  5. Study Tactics – Discourse • Discourse (Story, episode, unit of thought, etc.) • How do we identify discourses? • 2) Identify “Means” • When an action, a result, or a purpose is stated, look for the means that brings about that action, result or purpose. • Psalms 119:9 - How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. • Romans 8:13 - For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. • It’s one thing to identify it – but the real fruit is when you then pause and contemplate it in your life. • Ask things like: “Have I read my Bible?” or “Have I prayed that the Holy Spirit would help me?”

  6. Study Tactics – Discourse • Discourse (Story, episode, unit of thought, etc.) • How do we identify discourses? • 3) Identify Links • Look for ways a paragraph relates to the paragraph before and after it • Identify the dialogue • Look for repeated themes • Do repeated words suggest a theme and is this something that carries over? • Mark 8:11-30 • Mark 8:22-26 • Mark 8:11-21 - Mark 8:27-30

  7. Study Tactics – Discourse • Discourse (Story, episode, unit of thought, etc.) • How do we identify discourses? • 4) Interchange • Literary device that involves the development of comparing or contrasting stories over the course of a larger story. • Ex. 1 Samuel 1-3 • Two contrasting families highlight the development of the Prophet Samuel • Ex. Acts 7-12 • Peter & Paul: Two preachers having similar success

  8. Study Tactics – Discourse & Romans • Discourse (Story, episode, unit of thought, etc.) • How do we identify discourses? • 4) Shifts, Breaks, Pivots, Adjacency • Change from a doctrinal discussion to examples of practical application - Ephesians 1-3/4-6 • Changes in topics of discussion or comparing and contrasting themes • In class practice • Romans 1-4

  9. Study Tactics – Discourse & Romans • Discourses in the first 3 chapters of Romans • Chapters 1-3:26 • Greetings • 1:1-15 • Theme • 1:16,17 • Universal nature of unrighteousness • 1:18-3:20 • Gentile – 1:18-32, Jew – 2:1-3:8, Universal – 3:9-20 • Homework: read Romans 3:21-11 and identify “themes”

  10. Paul’s Preaching's – A study on how to share the gospel (revisiting last week) • 1st Recorded Sermon: Acts 13:16-43 • 16-25, 26-33, & 34-43 • Sermon to Gentiles: Acts 17:22-31 • 22-31 • Sermon to a King: Acts 26:1-29 • 2-11, 12-18, 19-23, & 24-29

  11. Paul’s Preaching's – A study on how to share the gospel • Based on these readings what patterns do we see that give us guidance on how we should share the Gospel? • 1) The importance of preaching the repentance of sin! • Points to Jesus as the only way • 2) Speak to the crowd (know the crowd) • 3) Seize every opportunity

  12. Paul’s Preaching's – A study on how to share the gospel • Speaking to the Crowd • Seize every opportunity Acts 16:27-32 • 27When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 And the jailercalled for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.  • Pray that you become mindful of opportunities

  14.
