SERMON OUTLINES FOR...

$6.99 each or all 9 for $50.00

Every Sunday brings a new deadline for pastors. Regardless of the size of the church, there will be people present who are looking for “a word from the Lord.”

So, sometime before Sunday morning the pastor must prepare a spiritual meal for those who will come expecting to be fed. Trust me. This is a great responsibility. It is not easy to get ready for something new to present each week. Still, we know that God has called us to feed His people.

Just for the record, over the 47 years that I was in the position of being “chef” for His people, I averaged twenty hours of preparation for each new sermon. Sure, a pastor can get by with less. But like “fast food” does not contain much of nutritional value in the same way quick sermon fixes do not generate a lot of healthy spiritual nourishment.

Sometimes pastors need “sermon seeds” over which they can pray and let grow in their minds and hearts. This is especially true of those who are new to the ministry and in bi-vocational situations. With that in mind, Beacon Press asked for a series of preachable sermon outlines. These are designed to help with the preparation time. They are starting points that can germinate in fertile minds.

These books are available at Christian bookstores everywhere. The cost has intentionally been kept very affordable. I hope these books will help pastors put good Sunday dinners on the spiritual tables of their churches.

This book was co-authored with DR. DONALD HARVEY, a clinical psychologist.

Living in a parsonage is like living in a house with glass walls. Every move the pastoral family makes is evaluated and critiqued. This can bring unbearable pressure on that family. How do pastors handle this? How have others dealt with these issues?

This book was written by a pastor who lived there for 47 years and a clinical psychologist who has vast experience in counseling many who live in the glass house.

Dr. J. I. Packer writes about this book, “This is a must-read for every pastoral couple.”

This is a book written for children.

The setting is the Sea of Galilee, and it is the story of a fictional lad named Joel who could have lived in that time when Jesus walked those shores.

The chapters are stories of events from the New Testament wrapped around the life of lonely little Joel. It is an excellent book for child evangelism.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has given permission to reprint the brochure that is used during children’s events at crusades and festivals to lead a child to the Lord along with the salvation prayer.

This book is a good “read to” for children ages 3 and up. It is also a good “read by” for older children. It can be used to lead a child to Jesus. A child can use this book to lead a friend to Jesus as well.
