Sermon Outlines for Busy Pastors: Rooted Sermon Series
Fifteen sermons on the doctrines your church needs to know.
Believers who don't know what they believe will believe almost anything. Doctrine is how a church stays anchored when the culture shifts — and the essentials deserve a clear, careful, loving treatment from the pulpit.
Sermon Outlines for Busy Pastors: Rooted Sermon Series walks your church through the essential doctrines of the Christian faith in fifteen complete sermon outlines: the Bible, the nature of God, the Trinity, prayer, angels and spiritual warfare, baptism and communion, sin, Jesus Christ, the resurrection, becoming a Christian, sanctification, death, the return of Jesus, the final judgment, and heaven. Each outline is a complete message — expository, rooted in God's Word, written from the notes I preach from in my own church. These are not bare three-point skeletons.
Preach the series straight through to ground your people in the faith, or pull a single doctrine when it's the one your church needs. The series is also included in Volume 3 and Sermon Series Box Set 1. Every sermon title and Scripture reference is listed below.
