Organization: Problem-Solution
Audience analysis: My audience consists of one 39 year old female who is college educated and works part time. It also consists of one 37 year old college educated male who is also currently in the work force and one 18 year old female who attends trade school and is currently in the work force. They are all Christians.
Topic: Living without God.
Rhetorical Purpose: To inform my audience about what life with Christ can be like and to persuade them to accept Him as their personal Lord and savior.
Redemptive Purpose: The problem one faces of living life without Christ is that they are living by their flesh and not by God and His word. They will also have a much harder time trying to get through life on their own and face an eternity of separation from God. As the bible states in Galatians 5:19-21 “Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
I. Attention-getter
Everyone knows who Jesus Christ is. However many have not yet come to believe that He is in fact the son of God and have accepted Him into their lives as their personal Lord and savior.
II. Motive for Listening
When one does believe and accept Christ into their lives they will begin to see Him work in ways they never thought could happen. They will feel whole and through Him have the strength to face and get through any challenges that life may throw at them. They also will become a better person through Him and their sins will be forgiven. Therefore they will be born again through Him and have the confidence of knowing that their eternity will be in God’s heavenly kingdom with Him.
III. Credibility Statement
As an individual who has tried
