This is a draft sermon outline for a brother in Christ and friend that I’ve been talking to about preaching John 11:24.
Some quick comments:
- This isn’t a complete outline; there’s part that says “(Insert insight)” or “(Insert more application”) etc are areas to flesh out more.
- I am a big fan of the 4 P of preaching: Point, Proof, Picture and Practice.
- I try to make my outline reflect the passage of God’s Word that I’m preaching on.
- I like to make my points be not just information but we do something even if its being amazed with God.
- I like to have outlines when I preach to respect the time of the church service that I finish the message on time and not be beyond the time limit; so the more details gets indented in so if I need to go faster I can just summarize but I have my argument for my view saved if others ask or if I preach again somewhere else next time the same passage.
Be Amaze at Jesus claiming to be the Resurrection and the Life
(ESV)
John 11:24
Establish the need: Have you thought about the reality of death lately? There’s no vaccine from facing eternity separated from God or eternity with God.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.[a] Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
Purpose: Today we shall consider three truths to be amazed about concerning Jesus statement that He is the Resurrection and the Life so that we trust in Him and Worship Him today.
- Be amaze at Jesus being the Resurrection and the Life (v.24a)
- Be amaze at Jesus being God Himself (v.24a)
- Be amaze at Jesus gift of eternal life (v.24b)
