If you are a pastor or ever preach, you may find this interesting. I have an acronym, P.R.E.A.C.H., which most of my sermons basically follow. I got this from Groomes five movements in college, but I have adapted it to be a little easier to remember.
Present situation - introduce the topic by talking about it in terms of our present situation.
Reflect on it - reflect on the present situation, evaluating it somewhat, questioning it, analyzing it.
Enter the story - transition to the Bible in terms of that situation and those lingering questions.
Apply the story - apply that Bible story back to our present situation, and our questions
Choose a response - offer some ways to respond to the story in light of our situation.
Homework - this is what happens on Monday.
