In the section Living Word we want to provide sermon outlines to help pastors in the preparation for their important and central task of preaching. We try to provide help in the exposition and the application of the text. We have 152 sermon outlines available at the moment! This week: Jonah 1:17-2:10.
Sermons will not be marked by authority and power unless they are marked by truth that the Holy Spirit can honour. The word of God is to be explained. That has to be the heart of the sermon. There is a real danger that we become over concerned about such things as delivery, while the New Testament is insistent on the content: "let it be as the words of God" (1 Peter 4:11). The authority of the preaching comes from the text of Scripture. It is God-given power which honours his own word.Iain H. Murray
This section has articles specifically for youth. The Lord promised that the outpouring of his Spirit will affect even the youth in a wonderful way (Acts 2:17). Therefore, youth will also be interested to learn what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ.
You can find material here that is suitable for Bible study. The purpose of these articles is to give an overview of longer Bible passages. This material is suitable for personal or group Bible study. Some of the Bible studies have questions which can be used for discussion.
