Digital Logos Edition
Many pastors preach at least twice a Sunday, and some must stand in the pulpit three times a week or more! Generating that much content can be exhausting—especially if you don’t have the right resources. The Baker Sermon Outlines series provides busy pastors with well-researched sermon outlines based on specific texts of Scripture and practical topics. Scriptural and easy to use, these time-saving books include homiletical outlines for Bible passages, holidays, evangelism, great themes of the Bible, special occasions, prayer meetings, and more. Ideal for both expository and topical preaching styles, this series includes more than 3,000 pages of outlines that will guide you in your study and provide the rhetorical framework for a persuasive, biblical, and gospel-centered sermon.
“As Christians we should encourage new converts. We should not push down, but lift up these ‘babes in Christ.’ Don’t be critical; be compassionate. Don’t scold; encourage. Be interested in the problems of people. Rejoice with them when they rejoice and weep with them when they weep. Lack of love and patience with these people shows a lack of Christlikeness.” (Page 38)
“Christ can cleanse the worst of sinners. There are none ‘so bad’ that Christ cannot forgive! He can save the ‘bad sinner’ just as easily as He can save the ‘good sinner.’ Love for God will cause us to a love the sinner. A person who does not love the sinner does not really love God. A person cannot really get near to Christ without loving the sinner.” (Page 25)
“we have Christ, then we have joy. Without Christ we cannot have joy, peace, or satisfaction. Do you have Christ” (Page 13)
“c) Thorns—v. 14. The new growth is choked by cares, riches, and plea” (Page 26)
“Christ wants to give you life. Life while you live, and life after death. After death there is heaven or hell. We have a choice as to where we will go after death. The enjoyable life which Christ gives us on earth leads us to everlasting life. Rejection of this life will mean punishment in hell forever (Mark 16:16).” (Page 22)
