Tension
What you’re doing here is bringing up some kind of a problem.
The tension you create should make people lean in and give them an opportunity to anticipate the tension being resolved.
Sometimes, it is hard to love other people.
Especially if they’re not nice, different from you, or maybe you just don’t know them very well.
Truth & Application
Once you’ve engaged the congregation and presented some kind of tension, you can now go to God’s Word in order to resolve the tension.
The next section, Application, should happen naturally as you are teaching, and should come to a point after you teach through Scripture.
