Sermon Outlines
The following are acrobat files (pdf) of either sermon notes or studies. The sermon notes tend to be brief because I do not like to read sermons, so I put the verses in I want to connect. I have added a few connecting thoughts to show the basic link, but I deliberately left much of the meat of the sermon off my notes, as I believe preaching is dynamic rather than static.
