Sermon Outlines

These lessons have been developed over 35 years of preaching and teaching.  Many sources have been used.  Use them to study and for the glory of God.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness" (2 Tim 2:15-16).

"Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11).
