Save Time Writing Your Sermons Using Our Free Message Templates
- We know you try your hardest to preach the Word of God with boldness every weekend.
- We know you’re praying that God gives you effective words and that His Spirit would prepare the hearts of your listeners.
- We know you yearn for your congregation to be convicted and comforted by the Word of God every single Sunday.
Whether you’re new to preaching or have been doing it for years, you have a God-given burden for the souls of your hearers. And, along with that, you have some niggling concerns about whether or not your church family is comprehending and practicing what you’re preaching.
This may not be what you want to hear, but sermon outlines are your best friend for combatting these concerns. Having the right framework for organizing your thoughts and communicating your message can make the difference between confusion and conviction.
Besides helping you speak your messages more clearly, outlines can also save you a TON of time when it comes to researching Bible passages and collecting illustrations.
That’s why we’ve embedded 6 different pre-built sermon outlines into Sermonary, our word processor, developed specifically for writing sermons.
Of course, once you’ve selected the right outline, the battle has just started. You’ll still have to make sure you allow adequate time to develop your ideas, research, and practice presenting your sermon. That’s why we created this free resource to walk you through the process of researching, planning, and presenting your sermon in just one week!
No matter what type of message you find yourself needing to preach this week, we think one of these outlines can be your perfect first step.
