  7. 2. Read carefully and come ready to discuss the exegetical steps in

  8. 3. Choose two NT passages for your sermons by Wednesday afternoon

  9. THE FINAL PROJECT • The sermons should be everything that the textbooks suggest. • Use the sources that are listed in the bibliography of Guthre/Duval and make good use of the library while you are here.

  10. Help With the Sermons • 1. Use the categories that you will learn from the two textbooks. • 2. Listen to good sermons. • 3. Work hard to choose the correct books that will genuinely help you with the preaching task.

  11. Help With Sermons (2) • I will be demonstrating and using Libronix Logos software this week • This is a tremendous piece of software and can help your sermon preparation be both faster and better • You may purchase the software at a substantial discount

  12. A Look at the Week • We will begin each day at nine a.m.; break for lunch at noon; start again at one and end around four p.m. • We will not have class Wednesday Morning to allow you time to • choose your sermon texts • research your text lightly
