Fill in from background research and imagination the phases of the story not described in the text. Even if you are in chains use them to help you in your life and ministry.

And, finally, chains are what God use to strengthen you, and hold you to God. 12 Essential Skills for Great Preaching / Wayne McDill / 2006 / B&H Used by Permission The purpose of this exercise is to develop skill at vividly and imaginatively portraying Biblical and contemporary scenes and stories.
