52 Topical Sermons Volume 1

by Barry L. Davis

Dear Fellow Preacher, For most of us, one of the most rewarding, yet difficult tasks, is preparing messages to preach and teach. We are honored by God to stand before our congregations each week, and we want to give them the very best, but with the press of the many commitments of ministry, sometimes that is difficult. And if you're like me, you prefer writing your own sermons, because you have a special connection with your congregation that is hard to reach through a message someone else has written. In other words, no one knows your people like you do! But what if you could start with a prepared outline, complete with solidly Scriptural points, and a contemporary, attention-getting illustration, and then add your own details and emphasis to it? Would that help? I think it would. In fact, I know it would. Our new Pulpit Outline Series features the *Each Volume contains 52 Sermons, giving you a years worth of messages. *Each Sermon includes a relevant illustration you can use however you like. *Each of these outlines could easily be broken up into series of their own. We are so honored that you’re considering investing in this volume in the Pulpit Outline series – 52 Topical Sermons Volume 1 – there will be more to come!
