Introduction

Have you found yourself grappling with a sermon title? Do you have difficulty finding scripture or supportive points? Have you ever been asked to speak at the last minute? This book is for you! It was formulated for the purpose of being a quick reference. It was developed with the hope that pastors, ministers, students, and lay people alike in whom the expression of the Word of God is manifest, may find it helpful.

Our intention is to make it easier for the person preparing God’s Word to spend more time in thought and meditation than in the development of their sermon. This book benefits you by shortening the time spent on finding a title and scripture during sermon preparation. It contains 432 sermon titles and scripture developed from 21 evangelistic key words from the Bible. Regardless of whether you are preparing a sermon for your preaching course or developing a sermon for preaching to a congregation, there is opportunity for conservation of time and energy spent in your sermon construction.

The objective of this manual is to simplify the task of preaching. It is our goal that you thoroughly utilize and enjoy the manual as you spend less time preparing your messages. Our sincere wish is that individuals using this material while preparing the Word of God understand that it is God’s Word exhorted through the use of their gifts which start the process of spiritual growth. We believe that spiritual formation occurs when one’s desire to learn displays one’s willingness to grow, applicable to God-seeking audiences you address in their search for salvation or spiritual maturity.
