As a Bible teacher, preacher, evangelist, or pastor, finding time for proper sermon preparation in today's multi-tasked world becomes increasingly challenging. 52 Sermon Starters Volume One can help It covers topics such as: -How to be Fully Satisfied Here and Now -Man's Responsibility before God -The Purpose of Pentecost -For What and for Whom Should a Christian Pray?This book is a compilation of selected outlines which were previoulsy published in a long-time published magazine called Pulpit Helps , a publication distributed to over 100,000 pastors and teachers of the Bible. These outlines were written to meet the need of those who follow the Lectionary, a system used by a number of churches, and are as relevant and applicable today as they were when first published, espousing the timeless truths of God's Word. Each outline follows in order from Matthew to Revelation, one for each week of the year.The unique features of this book include: -A key verse given for each outline that is the focus of the entire passage covered -An index of Greek words listing each Greek word (transliterated) mentioned in the outlines along with a definition -Scripture references showing where a particular word is found (if applicable)
My sister got me this book a few years ago since she knows I lead a Bible study group. It claims to "get the sparks flying and take the worry out of your sermon preparation." Although sermon preparation is still work, this book has been quite helpful. Of the 52 lessons, 15 have little check marks in the table of contents, which means I used them in actual sermons. Three of the outlines are marked X for not-useful, but that is much fewer than another book I bought of 52 outlines, of which none were useful! I expect to keep using this book, and am interested in volumes 2, 3 and 4.
