Bible Study Method: Sentence Block Diagramming

Learn how to study the Bible by using the analytical approach of using sentence block diagramming method.

This Bible study method will give you deep understanding of the major themes of each book of the Bible.

Learn how to study the Holy Bible by using the analytical approach of using sentence diagramming.

1. This approach will give you deep understanding of the major themes of each book of the Holy Bible.

2. You can use th! is as a Bible study guide to help you prepare sermons, Bible lectures, Bible seminars, Bible study groups for adults, Bible study group for youths. You can also use this approach to teach Sunday School. I learned this sentence diagramming approach to study the Bible in the seminary and I have been using this to prepare all my sermons and Bible studies.

By doing sentence diagramming of each book, I am able to extract the major themes the author wants to tell us.

1. When you see the format of the sentence diagram, you will see everything clearly in a flash.

2. You will also discover that you can't do without this formatting each time when you prepare a sermon or a Bible study.

3. When all the points are laid out so clearly in front of you, you can extract
10 to 15 sermons from the points and subpoints. This will give you a series to preach at church for 3 months to half a year.

4. You will be able to provide expo! sitory preaching to feed your congregation weekly without runn! ing out of material.

5. For each sermon, you have a very vivid THEME to preach on.

6. The main theme of the sentences start at the left hand margin so that you can see where the main clause begins.

7. All the other subpoints are indented.

8. Sometimes with the indention, you see alphabetical points or number points â€" they are all subpoints.

9. In order not to do any interpretation for you, I don’t tell you how to section your sermon or Bible study material. What you can do is that you can see visually the format of the book in block sentence diagram form.

10. This is a non-conventional method of Bible studies. It is to make the whole book in ‘block sentence diagrams’ so that you can absorb the theme using this visual method. Once you know the focus of each section, you can easily compile your own Bible Study notes.

You don't need to depend on Bible study outlines done by others. You would know the r! ight questions to ask and discover the answers yourself through meditative studies.

When you see the final lay out of the sentence block diagram, you will have ready made at least 10 thematic sermons to preach with insights & great content.

May the Word of God enlighten our souls and strengthen us and those around us with God's eternal light.

I wish you happy learning. I've laid out the whole book in sentence diagramming with grammatical structure and point form analysis.
All the sentence diagramming is done in easy to read for your meditation and study.
I’ve tried to avoid further interpretation and that is the reason why I am not including an outline of the book. For the outline, you can get them anywhere on the net.
The major of the work is done for you by giving you the VISUAL format.

Knowing the Land helps us understand the Book in new and vivid ways. Charles Dyer, a Bible scholar and licensed tour guide for Israel, and Greg Hatteberg, graduate of the Institute of Holy Land Studies in Jerusalem, created this reference guide for pilgrims who want to deepen the spiritual impact of their trip to Israel, as well as other travelers who just want to know more. Where did Jesus walk' Where is King David buried' Where is Mt. Sinai' You'll find detailed information about five key Bible lands: Israel, Egypt, Greece, Jordan, and Turkey. This guide includes a full color 32-page photo insert, practical tips for travelers, a 4-week prayer guide for preparing for your trip, and! detailed maps and an outline of Bible history. With The New C! hristian Traveler's Guide to the Holy Land, you'll see the Bible through a new set of geographical lenses.

The geographic heart and soul of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, the Holy Land has immense significance for the millions of visitors it has attracted since as early as the fifth century BC. Now in an exciting new edition, this popular handbook once again offers tourists an indispensable, illustrated guide to over 200 of the most important archeological and religious sites in the City of Jerusalem and the surrounding area.
Fully updated with all the latest information, The Holy Land presupposes little knowledge of history or archaeology, giving clear directions on how to find sites and monuments of interest--both well-known locations and those less familiar. With entries including the Damascus Gate, the Via Dolorosa, Mount Sion, the Dead Sea, Hebron, and Jericho, this indispensable book includes detailed maps, plans, and illustrations that further illu! minate these spectacular locales. Each entry explains the history and topography of a site as well as its function and significance. In his introduction, Father Jerome Murphy-O'Connor provides a brief historical outline of the Holy Land, from the Stone Age to the Modern Period, and lists sites accordingly. The Fifth Edition includes new information on the crucial recent developments at the Holy Sepulchre and on six completely new sites, including a Middle Bronze Age water system in Jerusalem and what may be the original Pool of Siloam.
A marvelous Baedeker to both the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, brimming with practical advice and featuring more than 150 high quality site plans, maps, diagrams, and photographs, this book provides the ultimate visitor's guide to one of the richest archaeological regions in the world.In the Steps of Jesus presents a visually stimulating tour of the places Jesus visited and ministered in during his time on earth as recorded in ! the Gospels. Each location is addressed separately and include! s such c ities as Capernaum, Nazareth, and Jerusalem. Full color photos bring to life the ancient world of the Bible few will ever be able to visit in person. With every page, the reader will gain greater insight into the history, geography, and unique features of these historic places. A must-have reference book for those interested in the study of the New Testament and the life of Christ.The Bible doesn't come with a secret decoder ring, which means that it is left to church theologians to make sense of the Bible's many intricate and overlapping themes. Over the centuries, the church has identified several themes--such as love and covenant--that have helped the faithful to better understand a sometimes bewildering book.

In Holy People, Holy Land, authors Dauphinais and Levering make the case that holiness--which they define as communion with God through love of neighbor--is the central theme of Scripture. Holy People, Holy Land will give any reader the tools to better unders! tand Scripture by showing how a holy God desires to recreate his children in his image so that they too can be holy.

Like the inspiring heroes in MIRACLE, REMEMBER THE TITANS, and THE ROOKIE, the amazingly gifted Santiago Mu?ez, a young immigrant living in the barrios of Los Angeles, has an impossible dream -- to play soccer for a world class team. Unexpectedly getting a tryout with one of England's premier soccer clubs, Newcastle United, Santiago finds himself totally alone in a world where soccer is a religion and the players are gods. Now he not only has to prove he has the passion, talent, and determination to mak! e it alongside the best in the world, but he has to overcome his own demons and those of others. Filled with memorable characters, great heart, and real-life soccer legends, GOAL! THE DREAM BEGINS is a triumphant story about believing in your dreams.You'd have to be a heartless curmudgeon to dislike a movie as enjoyably sincere as Goal! The Dream Begins. Yes, the corny title tells you all you need to know about this rags-to-riches soccer tale, but like Hoosiers and Rudy, this conventional sports drama rises above its familiar plot with an engaging cast and some pleasant surprises along the way. The first in a proposed trilogy that will follow young Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker) as he rises to prominence in the competitive world of British soccer, this one begins by showing how Santiago, an undocumented immigrant in Los Angeles, attracts the attention of a talent scout (Stephen Dillane), who arranges a tryout for England's prestigious team, Newcastle Unit! ed. It's rough going for a beleaguered trainee who suffers fro! m asthma , but soon Santiago is befriended by a hard-partying soccer star (Alessandro Nivola) and he's on his way to reaching his…Goal! It's all very inevitable, but director Danny Cannon makes the most of this inspiring story by exploiting the unexpected subtleties in an otherwise predictable screenplay: Santigo's relationship with his seemingly unsupportive father (Tony Plana) gains additional resonance as the story unfolds; a local nurse (Anna Friel) turns out to be more than a routine love interest; and Newcastle's German manager (Marcel Iures) is a wry, colorful character who works miracles with his unruly squad of players. Add some obligatory cameo appearances by real-life soccer stars including (of course) the great David Beckham, and you've got a modest, likable hit that delivers exactly what it promises, and a little bit more. --Jeff Shannon

DESPERATE MEASURES - DVD MovieCall it "Desperate Movie," because this ludicrous thriller deteriorates into unintentional comedy. For reasons that are never explained, a sociopathic killer (Michael Keaton) is the only available bone marrow donor for the cancer-stricken son of a San Francisco cop (Andy Garcia), who must capture the killer alive after a laughable escape in a labyrinthine hospital. The ensuing manhunt relies on plentiful plot holes and ridiculous shortcuts (like Keaton's use of a surgical laser to cut leg irons, or accessing hospital schematics from a prison computer). Self-consciously shot in film noir style, the cat-and-mouse routine leads to a briefly impressive car chase, but the pre! mise (which even the movie's original press notes described as "intriguing, if unlikely") is based on "moral ambiguity" that doesn't translate from script to screen. Instead of forcing Keaton's typically "sick genius" to prove his ingenuity, the film pits him against a squad of cops who couldn't find a beer in a crowded pub. --Jeff Shannon Desperate Measures, Hollywood Undead's first ever CD/DVD. The Gold-selling band's latest release contains six live recordings, six new studio tracks, an "Everywhere I Go" remix and over 60 minutes of footage recorded over two days during Hollywood Undead's summer '09 tour.
