 Okay. Okay. So let's get started. Morning. Nina's joined online. Okay. Okay. Just wanted to read one verse and then I'd say it's in 1st Timothy chapter 6 and verse 20. Right. 1st Timothy chapter 6 verse 20. It says, O Timothy, guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and ill babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge. By professing it, some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen. Okay. Like if you see the beginning of the book and throughout, he says that he's, you know, reiterating to Timothy, you know, you need to guard this thing that I committed to you. You need to hold on. You need to teach others, et cetera. And also, you know, you need to rightly divide the word. Take heed to yourself. Take heed to the good doctrine, et cetera. So here, you know, in closing this episode, Paul writes, and he says, God, what was committed to you. Right. So I think that's something that that that is reiterated to us also, God, what was committed to you in terms of call, in terms of gifting, in terms of, you know, those desires that God has put in your heart to pursue. Right. So God, what was committed to your heart. So what does it mean to God? God means to be watchful, to be alert, to protect. Right. So you don't give up, you don't give in. So, and you, when it says God, that also assumes that there will be something or someone, you know, approaching to take, right, to, to steal, to take away. Right. So it can be maybe the powers of darkness, Satan, because we know John 10 verse 10 says, Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. But also, it can be our own flesh, our own distractions, our own lack of focus. Right. So again, the reiteration, like God, what was committed to you, you know, if God has given you a desire, God has given you a dream, if God has given you or has called you for something, and you know that, guard it. Right. Maybe write it down, guard it, pray through it. He's saying, you know, avoid the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge. So these are things that actually take us away, which cause us to stray away from the truth. Right. So he says, by professing that people have actually strayed away, the gospel is very simple, the truth of what God has called us to do, the kingdom, you know, the kingdom call is very, very straightforward. So, you know, that's the, that's the exhortation, right, for us. So let's pray, right. Let's pray and say, Lord, you know, show me, have I let go? Or am I in the process of just loosening my grip on whatever you put in my heart, right, enabled me to know that and take a strong hold of that. Like Paul says, I lay hold of that for which Christ has laid hold of me. So maybe lay hold of that, maybe have a strong grip of the call, the dreams, the things that God has put in our hearts. Father, we thank you, Lord, the desires that you put in our hearts, Lord, for the sake of the kingdom, Lord, the plans, the purposes, the call, Lord, it comes from you, and we know that it is good. And we know that it is, Lord, and the purpose for which you put it is so that we might pursue it, Lord. And Father God, if there are things today, Lord, that seem to come against, that seem to wrestle things out of our hands, out of our hearts. God, we pray that you would highlight that to us, that Lord, even Holy Spirit, even as you give us a check in our hearts, Lord, Master, we pray that we will lay hold of that. We will have a firmer grip on that, Master. And yes, Lord, even as we bring that before you in prayer and thanksgiving, Lord, I just pray that it is settled in our hearts, Master, that our focus will be sharper than ever before, God, that we will have all kinds of distractions and discouragements, oh God, will just be moved away and so that we can keep our eyes on you and run with endurance, God, the race that is set before us. We thank you. We give you all the praise and glory. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, so we'll move into sermon preparation, sermon or different types of sermons. So I just wanted to like mention to the online class like from now on, just be like, it'll be good if you can be in a place where you can unmute and speak, be in an environment where you can unmute and speak, especially when it comes to sharing whatever you've prepared as a sermon, right? So it'll help if you are in that kind of an environment, right, where you can unmute and speak. So just ensure that happens in the forthcoming classes. This is for the online class. Okay. Okay, so let me just share the notes and we'll, right, so different types of sermons, just like how we saw that there were different types of ways to study the Word of God, you know, word study and topical study and inductive study and so on. So there are different ways of different types of sermons, different types of, you know, how you can communicate the message, right? And, well, it can be a mix of this. Why do we have different types? You know, each of these types of sermons, it serves a purpose, right? It serves a purpose so that the hearer is benefited, right? It's not to showcase the preacher or say, okay, the preacher can do this, preacher can do that. No. So that the hearer who was listening can be benefited, okay? And it serves the purpose. Like, for example, there are different types of sermons. One is a topical sermon, okay? And then we have textual and expository. We just look at these three, right? So if you look at topical sermon, like the name suggests, right? The sermon is based on a topic, right? It can be, for example, if you say gifts of the Spirit, that's a topic, and the sermon is based on that topic, which means that all the points, the main points or what we call as main divisions are drawn, are based out of the topic, right? So gifts of the Spirit. So the main points of the sermon could be, you know, what are the gifts of the Spirit, right? Why are the gifts of the Spirit given, right? And then how do they function? What purpose do they serve? How does one, you know, walk in the gifts of the Spirit? What is required? Qualifications, etc. So these are all, if you notice, everything is based on that particular title, that particular topic, okay? It's simple. It's just logical, that's how it goes. So when we have these points, it also means that you can have sub points in the sermon, right? Subpoints in the sermon points, let's say a sermon, gifts of the Spirit has five main points. Each of these main points can have further sub points, sub points meaning, let's say a main point is why do we have the gifts of the Spirit or what are the gifts of the Spirit? It can have some further sub points like what purpose does it serve, you know, why is it given, etc. You know, it can have further sub points, simple things, right? So, but the thing is, when we have these sub points, it helps us to go further deeper, right? Without deviating from the main point itself, okay? And if you have five points, it'll be good if each of these five points or five divisions are distinctly different, you know, they're not talking about the same thing, right? In the sense, they're talking about the same topic, right? But a different aspect of the topic, okay? So, it is something, how do we say it? Like, for example, what are the gifts of the Spirit? You know, if that main point is what are the gifts of the Spirit, if you're listing it and the point number two of that sermon is also something close to that, you know, these are also the gifts of the Spirit or, you know, something the way you're listing the gift of the Spirit, then it doesn't really serve the purpose, you know? So, it can be a further sub point in the point one itself, rather than having it as a separate point. So, I mean, this, see, there's no chapter in verse for this, right? We also know that when we look at some of Paul's letters, some of the sentences are so long, right? It spreads across some two, three verses, right? Have you noticed, right? It's not ending. The verse has ended, but the sentence, the topic is not ended. It just goes, right? So, we know there's no chapter in verse for this, but it is just a practical consideration that will enable us to prepare and communicate in a way that is easy to understand and easy to retain. So, that's, that's the whole thing, right? Okay. So, this topical sermon. So, the topical sermon has advantage in the sense it's, you know, it focuses on a particular topic. It doesn't deviate from the topic, right? So, it narrows down and it says, okay, gifts of the spirit, this is what we are looking at and this is how we'll end it, okay? So, that is, it helps in that way. And each of these points, it's good and it's important that each of these points of the, you know, topical sermon are substantiated with scripture, like we saw earlier, right? That there is a text to it. There is, you know, if you are saying, okay, these are the gifts of the spirit, it's important that you point out from scripture, where does it say that these are the gifts of the spirit, right? So, it needs to have a text, it needs to have scripture, which is further substantiating, which means which is witnessing or giving proof for that particular point, weightage for that point, okay? If not, you know, the topical sermon also has the danger of where the person or the speaker has a tendency to put in his thoughts or her thoughts, opinions, right? Because the topical sermon are typically like, it can be like a motivational inspiration sermon also, right? So, where you might have the tendency, the speaker might have the tendency to personal views without a biblical framework, etc. It is possible. It also has the tendency to be sometimes shallow, because there's only so much you can delve into a particular topic at a particular time, right? So, you may not be able to cover everything, talking about a sermon, not about a book, right? So, there's a time to it, time duration to it. So, you may not be able to cover everything. So, it is possible that it might be shallow, etc. But given all that, it is a good format, especially for a Bible study, you know, especially for a gathering, small gathering, especially for inspirational exhortations, etc., right? A topical sermon. It's good to have that. And it can be, you know, it's important to have topical sermons in a typical, you know, church sermon calendar, like you have 52 Sundays in a year, at least 52 Sundays. And then you might have other times when the church is gathering, right? So, it's good to have a mix of topical sermons and the other types of sermons as well, okay? So, what are the second ones? The second one is called the textual sermon, okay? So, when we say textual sermon, I'm sure you've, you know, you've heard speakers come and say, okay, just, they pray, open up and then say, okay, turn, turn with me to, okay, just like how we started today, turn with me to 1st Timothy, chapter 6, in verse 20, and then read that, you know, can somebody read, somebody reads, you know, oh, Timothy, from the congregation, the typical reading voice, and then all the points of the sermon are based on the text, okay? So, it's based on the, it's not on the topic, but it's based on the text. When I say text, it's based on the scripture, right? It's based on that verse alone. So, point number one, based on the verse, point number two, based on the verse, right? So, based on that verse, like for example, if you say 1st Timothy 6, in verse 20, guard what was committed to your trust. So, you know, first point could be about guarding, second point could be about committed, what was committed to your trust. Third point could be about avoiding the profane babblings, etc. And, you know, so everything, the thing is, some text, some scripture is packed with a lot of things, a lot of insight, a lot of revelation. Like, for example, if you look at 1st Timothy 4, in verse 12, says, let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers, you know, that's a sermon by itself. Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity, till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Now, we could, you know, we could just take 1st Timothy 4, 12, excuse me, and, you know, go there half an hour, 40 minutes, you can just use that, right? So, some scripture is packed like that, but some scriptures may not be, but it has the truth. And so, in that case, if you're having five points in a sermon, a textual sermon, the point number 234 may be substantiated with other scripture, about, you know, about the same topic or sorry, same verse, which is related to the same scripture, right? So, point number 2 can be, so borrowed or you use other scripture to substantiate that point. Like, for example, if you're saying, be an example to the believers in word, okay? So, in order to, how to be an example in word, in the words that you speak, we might use, we could use Ephesians 4, okay? Ephesians 4, for example, if you two, you take Ephesians 4, and verse 28, I think, yeah, 29, says, let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. So, you know, so we are actually, you know, drawing out scripture or drawing out verses from other parts of the Bible, other portions, in order to substantiate, in order to give it to the, that particular verse, be an example in word, how, you know, to explain how we take all that, so that is absolutely fine. You know, like all of us, you know, as students and maybe, you know, in ministry wise, we might be doing this, you know, we're just talking about just giving some framework to it, you might be doing it naturally, right? So, just kind of giving a framework to it, okay? So, it's, this is another way of teaching or this is another way of communicating in addition to the topical sermon, right? The third one is what we would call as an expository sermon. So, what is an expository sermon? Now, this has certain advantages in the sense the whole, like the audience or the congregation, when you do, when you, when you actually have an expository sermon, they are educated in the scriptures, okay? So, it's not just picked here and there, but they are actually educated or taught and grounded in the scripture. For example, for example, whatever series we are doing in church right now about the Thessalonians, right? When you do Thessalonians, we talk about the background, right? Who wrote, from where did he write, what time period, what made him write, etc. And how, you know, how, what was the connection between the audience to whom this episode was written and the author, how did it come about? All those we, we learned, which we may not do in a topical sermon. We may not, you know, we, because the time required is focus on that topic, study through the topic, so you won't go into it, right? And if you go into it, unnecessarily it will actually take the focus off the topic, right? It's a topical sermon. So, expository is good, it gives a background, you get to hear, you get to know all that. But the thing is, it's time consuming, right? It is time consuming, it takes time, because it can't be done in one sitting. It has to be, let's say, series. And if you're a visiting teacher, it's best, you know, that you can't do a book study, right? Because you'll do some introduction and a few this thing, and then a few chapters, and then you'll have to move. So, you need to, you know, choose what you need to do. So, it results in a Bible taught, Bible educated congregation. And the thing is this, when it's an expository, it is verse by verse, right? And there'll be many takeaways, many points of emphasis, right? Yes, like for example, if you're doing a Bible study on, let's say, one Corinthians, you see that there are different topics within it, right? Like, you'll talk about strife, you talk about carnality, talk about division, you know, first three chapters, then, you know, how his own personal life and how he is fooled for the sake of Christ. Chapter five, you talk about, you know, some serious immorality issues in the church, all that. So, there are different, you know, if you can give, there are different side headings in an expository teaching itself, you know, there are different, you know, I think. So, there are different points of emphasis, and there are different takeaways or points for application, things, truths that I can apply in my life. But the thing is this, there'll be too many. I don't know if you realized, you know, if you look at, let's say, 1 Thessalonians 5 itself, there are a lot of things. Well, let's just take a look at it. Lot of emphasis, a lot of things that, you know, you can apply. For example, 1 Thessalonians 5 is talking about concerning the times and seasons, you have no need that I should write to you, you perfectly know that the day of the Lord comes, like a thief in the night, etc. So, being sober, being alert, that's one thing. Then it goes on to say, you know, recognize those who labor among you. These are people who are ministering to you, you recognize them, you know, they are there to admonish, they are there to rule over, esteem them rightly, etc. So, highly in love. Then, he talks about certain practical things, be patient with all. If there are disorderly or unruly people, you need to warn them. You see so many points of that you can actually put to practice, like things like pray without seizing and everything give thanks, do not quench the spirit. So, that's the thing of an expository preaching. So, the thing is, if it's a topical sermon, you won't actually, you may skip certain things. You can just say, okay, you know, I'm not going to focus on that. If it's a textual sermon also, you may not go into each of these details, but if it's an expository sermon, you are doing worse by worse. So, you will have to acknowledge, you will have to address those things. So, that's something that we need to, that's the reality of it. So, there won't be like, okay, altar call, one thing, you can't, because the Spirit of God would have emphasized several things to people. So, that's the thing, expository teaching. But it's a very good way for the congregation to learn scripture, to know the background of the scripture, to understand scripture in its context. So, it's a journey. And like, you know, typically in a church setting, what are some of the emphasis of sermons, right? One is maybe discipleship. It could be equipping discipleship. It could be like practically living, you know, marriage, parenting. You know, how do I follow Jesus in the workplace? Very practical things, right? It could be about evangelism. It could be about outreach. It could be, you know, several things that we are emphasizing in these sermons throughout. It could be, you know, preparing for ministry. It could be studying or getting deeper in the word, things of the Spirit, the supernatural, whatever, different points of emphasis. So, it's good to have all this land saying, okay, this year, let's focus on this. You know, let's, let this be the direction for the congregation, right? Maybe we could, you know, this is where the congregation is. I remember, you know, some of the topics that we are actually looking at, we never did it years before. You know, I remember the first time we actually looked at, you know, the prophetic. It was in a church camp, not in a, not in a, you know, church sermon, Sunday sermon. It was in a church camp where we took about two days to study about the, you know, the gifts of word of knowledge, word of wisdom and hearing the voice of the Spirit and so on. So, it was a very, you know, very basic, you know, something very new for all of us. We were all so excited you know, like, very new and a lot of questions, right? So, we dealt with that. So, then I see that when we, whenever there's a teaching on the prophetic, it's at a different level. It's, it's as if, you know, several layers have been added, several layers of revelation, several layers of, you know, even understanding experience, everything has been added. So, you see, it's a journey that has been made, right, for the, for the church, by the church, which has been part of, so we can think of those, right, when it comes to sermons, when it comes to planning for sermons, right? Okay, different between textual and expository sermon, I think it's very, very plain, very clear. The one main difference would be that the text can be, a textual sermon can be based on just one verse or a set of verses, right? Whereas the expository sermon can be a sizable passage or it can be a few chapters or it can be the entire book itself, right? So, that's the main thing. And for textual sermon, most of the points, well, it could be from the, the verse itself, right? But like how we looked at, you know, 1 Timothy 4-12, in order for the points to be substantiated, there could be other scripture verses, right, which are pointing to that, which are adding weight to that, right? But in an expository sermon, because we are looking verse by verse, most of the, like the text or the scripture is from that passage itself, it's contained in that passage. There'll be very few cross references, if at all, right? Okay. Any questions? Sorry. Right now, what we're doing in church, yeah, that is expository. So, it's a verse by verse, slow. Now, what we would be looking this Sunday, coming Sunday would be a topical sermon. It's about the power of the gospel. What's the most exciting? Easiest. No, there's no, there's no question of easy or difficult challenging. It's the same. Yeah, no, since you're saying easy, it's in terms of audience response. And see, for the speaker, the audience response also matters, right? So, because the thing is, if the audience is somewhere lost, if they're not following, then you're going to put in more efforts to draw them. Like, you can't be passive and just go, okay, if you're listening, you listen, otherwise, you know, you can't do that, right? You want them with you in the journey. So, yeah, so, but in the expository sermons, there are chances that people get lost. Yeah, so that's the thing. Because there are too many, too much information, it seems, it feels like too much information, especially if a person is not like not inclined to study the word, right? We can make it fun for them. We can make it interesting. But if you're not really inclined to, you know, study the word of God, then we might lose them. So, in that sense, it's a difficult, then you do an expository sermon. And a topical sermon can be, you can preach it. You know, everybody say, hallelujah, hallelujah, everybody say, you know, turn to your neighbor and say, fire, and everybody says fire. That's what I'm talking about. You can do all that, but you can't do that in an expository, you know, sermon, right? It's more of a teaching thing, format. Yeah, it's true. Online students, any questions? Yeah, yeah. So, like, most Sundays, because the idea is, okay, the question Rinshan asked is like, do all the pastors just come in on Sunday morning and then open the sermon outline and preach it, be prepared at all? Well, but I just want to tell you that preaching from an outline that is already prepared is more difficult than something that you prepare. See, when you prepare, it's part of you, okay? You've prepared, it's part of you now. It has to become part of you before you actually make it part of what others, right? Otherwise, you can't, it'll be like, you'll be looking at it, you'll be saying something, it's, it doesn't, you don't have the connect and so others are not going to have the connect. So, it's much more, when it comes to easy, difficult, that's one thing. But yeah, do you answer your question? Yes. Like, most Sundays, because we're doing a series, the idea is that all of, it comes from the structure, okay? I know it's a long answer, but it comes from the structure in the sense, the way we look at it is one church, many locations, right? So, it's not different churches in different places, it's one church, many locations. So, the idea is that everyone, all people in the locations grow together in the same way, you know? So, which means it's not like addressing one topic here, one topic there, which we do certain times. And there are Sundays when like everybody's preparing their own sermons and yeah. And there are times when, there have been times when, apart from pastor, like one of us prepared and shared the outline, which is also difficult, right? Because you have to do it very ahead of time. You can't do it till Sunday morning. It has to be done way ahead of time. So, I've done that, I think, maybe once, twice, I think, it's tough. Because everybody needs to prepare, you need to give them time. Yeah, this is the thing, that each of us will grow together. So, in the thing is the main points are there, the main study is there. There could be additional things, like I could receive or I might feel like, okay, this needs to be emphasized more. So, I could share that. And of course, the way it is communicated might be different, right? Definitely. From the notes. In the sermon notes, it will only be given about the topic name, outline and the references. But how we preach on it for that also, you guys have to prepare, right? Like, what you have to like, based on this, from this reference and on this topic, what do you have to share? You have to study, it's not like, it was also already given that you have to share this also. It was the outline that was given to you and you have to prepare on that outline and preach. So, the thing is, I think Arnold's question is, why can't you just have a topic? Why can't you all prepare? That was, and then share. The thing is, it will be different emphasis, each person, each location pulling in different directions. That could happen. I might not give a whole perspective. Yeah. So, that's the thing. See, if it's an expository teaching, it's fine. We can actually do that. But if it's any other teaching on certain topics, it's best it is kind of a collective thing. We've had different formats. We've had where we've had a call and then like, you know, each person sharing the, it's all very time consuming and that we didn't, we kind of said, okay, settle with this model for now. Yeah. There's another question. Jack in, there's been a time when, based on audience response, they showed disinterest, like yawning, sleeping, and you had changed the way of speaking or sharing without difference. Do we need to do that? It actually disrupts our flow of thoughts as well, right? As a speaker. Yeah. Yeah. That can be a challenge. Like I had a funny moment where you know, this person slipped right through the sermon. But the funny thing is, after the sermon, he came and shook hands and said, thank you for the message. So, you know, so when people do that, like initially it used to, it can be disturbing, right? You see that and you're like, oh man, I need to do something to wake them up, etc. But then over a period of time, you realize that you just go beyond that. You know, the thing is, every time if you're disrupting, slowing down, you know, addressing that, you know, telling the people, okay, wake up your neighbor, say something to them, give them a nudge, it, yeah, like Jack in is saying, you know, it just disrupts the flow. It's better to just keep going. And also I found out, you know, some people, they've taken medication, you know, the night before and they are because of that, you know, something to do with the body, they've taken some medicines and they are sleeping. One person, you know, he's just, he was been working. He just went home, changed, came. This guy's been working for, I don't know, I don't know how he's working like 20 hours every day, like, very tough, tough season. So he comes, he sits, the thing is, he fits in the first row. And he's like, you know, dozing off. So, yeah, some things like that. So yeah, so I'll see you, Jack in, yeah, just, it's best to keep going. Unless there is a, you know, serious disruption, like, kids screaming, somebody's phone going off over and over again, you know, you can actually address that. Yeah. You had a question, Rinchen? I just wanted to ask, like, okay, so you guys prepare and do all this, like, was there a time like when maybe the Holy Spirit just speaks to you to talk about something else, to preach something else? Don't talk, don't preach on Thessalonians this Sunday, like that, huh? Sweet, like, gives you something else, like, I want them to hear this. Whole sermon itself. That has never happened to me. I mean, it happened in the sense, see, it was not like, it was like a house meeting. It's never happened in a church setting. It was a house meeting. I went prepared for something. And I just started, like, wishing them and talking to them about something. And I realized that it was going in a different direction and then the whole message changed. You know, so that has happened, but yeah, in a church, Sunday's service kind of setting, for me, it does not happen. I don't know. Okay, somebody's, would they hand up? Yes, pastor. Yeah. So one more thing is like when you are reaching and if you felt like you need to believe the word or something like a prophetic word, something like that, would you wait till the end of the sermon that needs to be finished? Or if you are like so much, you know, inspired or highlighted, like God is like, no, this is, this is now you have to say, would you like breaking the pattern because there is what you say, there is a pattern that's been followed for the service after this, after this, after this. So yeah. So, so you receive the prophetic word, but when do you release it, the timing of it? Normally, I would, you know, it depends, you know, like, maybe there's something that Lord put in my heart to share, maybe it was during the worship time, maybe it was during the various points in the service, just made a note of this, held it in my heart. And normally, I would wait for a ministry time to release it. Normally, I would do that unless it is something very, very urgent and tied to the message itself, you know, the maybe some point that we are sharing. And if that word, maybe the Lord is putting in our hearts for, you know, for that particular point, you know, at that point, unless it is for that, normally, I would wait till the end of the message, or if there's a ministry time to release that word. Because there, what I've realized is also once, once you release that word during a time of ministry, then there are more words that the Holy Spirit drops in your heart. You know, it's a time for, like, ministering to people, serving different needs. And then, you know, several aspects, maybe like healing, maybe encouragement, and just seeing that there's a flow. So yeah, unless it's something to do with the message, that theme, and the Lord inspiring something in your heart, I would wait till the ministry time to release. But the thing is to not forget it. You know, that's the thing. Because you're talking about so many things, you're thinking about so many things. And then you should make it a point not to forget it. But the beautiful thing is the Holy Spirit reminds us, you know, when we go into a time of prayer, and then there is a reminder of that again, of that impression, what you saw. There's a reminder of that. So yeah, like, for example, once it happened, as I was driving to church, you know, and when traffic signal, I saw this thing. So I didn't, I just, okay, I just kept in my heart, okay, Lord, you know, whatever it is, you just give me more on it. Then shared the word, I think it was Christmas time, shared the word, whatever. And then during the ministry time again, the Lord reminded me of that, you know, what I saw on the signal. So I kind of shared that. And then after the service, the few people who came and said, okay, that, that is like something very accurate, administered to them, etc. So yeah, so the thing is to, one is to keep it in our hearts. And also, depending on the Holy Spirit, you know, he reminds us, he will do that. So yeah. Okay, so mechanics of sermon construction, let's just look at one, we have five more minutes, right? We, let's look at one thing, you know, CH Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a brilliant preacher, like, I don't know if this audio, it was, you know, many years ago, right? So I've read his messages and brilliant. Okay, some of the sermons, it has been written down. So, he says habitually to come into the pulpit unprepared is unpardonable presumption. Okay, so many times we think, okay, I, it's actually a misapplication of the verse, you know, do not pre-meditate on what you will speak beforehand. Right? You know, don't think about what you have to speak, don't plan about what you have to speak. The Holy Spirit will give you at that moment, what you need to speak. Yeah, go for it. Okay, so that verse is about what the Lord Jesus spoke, right? About who is disciples and it's in the context of persecution. When you're persecuted, when you're brought before the leaders, when you need to, don't, don't think, don't worry, you go there and the Holy Spirit will actually give you words. And it happens, right? Peter, John, they're in the temple, they are between, you know, before all the elders of the temple leaders and the, he actually, you know, talks about he shares the word, so about the cornerstone and all that. So, so misapplication of that would be, okay, I'm going to be Spirit-led, I'm just going to go, right? Maybe there are times when it happens, right? Like, for example, you could be in a gathering and somebody says, Pastor, you share, okay, you're there, you went actually to have dinner, okay? It was, they said, they invited you for dinner, okay, you're going there. You're not even carrying your Bible and then, and now Pastor will share a word and you're completely taken aback, like, what do, and then, you know, quickly, God, please, something and then you, you know, you share and so that, that's fine. But then to go without preparation is, is not the best thing to do, right? Okay. So, it's good to prepare, it's good to, and the thing is this, you know, our heart is prepared. Our heart is prepared when we prepare, you know, we are engaging with the word of God, we are praying through, our heart is being prepared and the Lord drops, the Lord puts in our heart what gives a burden, gives, you know, He knows the need, we actually experience God's heart for the people, right? And all that happens and our own heart does have heart, you know, all that is broken when we, when we prepare. So, it's not just, okay, what is the wonder, what are the five things that I want to say, it's not just that, right? It's being in the presence of God, we're God who prepares us as a messenger, right? In addition to sharing what the message needs to be, right? Okay. So, okay, certain, if you say, okay, what are the parts of a sermon, the first one would be a title, okay, like the title of the sermon. Now, the title actually, it states, it's like an advertisement for the sermon in these days, right? And because we, I'm sure we scroll through, we watch, we see a video, it's got an interesting title and we click on it, right? So, it's an advertisement for the sermon, right? Now, we also need to understand, like, in today's time, we look at a little bit about what the title can reflect, you know, content of the message and etc. In today's time, it makes sense. You know, I've always thought of having, giving a very wacky title, you know, something creative, something, something that, you know, draws people's attention. But that is very short-lived. It's, it's for that moment. It's for that week. Because if that very creative title, very intriguing title, very puzzling title, you know, if that is not searched for, now most of the messages are online, right? If that is not searched for, if people are searching for a particular topic, because you gave your title to be so creative and, you know, so if it's not searched for, then it's a waste. It has served a purpose for that particular Sunday, maybe that particular week. But the, the life of that particular content is not there. Okay. So, okay, we'll look at it more coming base, coming class. Okay. Thank you. So, just wanted to say that next week, we will have those, we'll have the first of our tests. It'll be online for the online students and online for all of us in-person also. Yeah, it'll be, so it'll be, you know, in the thing. So maybe what we can do is have the class and then the second class is free, right? So if we're in-person students, we can have it the second hour or maybe on a Tuesday or Wednesday, Tuesday, preferably, right? Okay. Thank you. God bless.
