Sermon Outline OT (NIV)

IN VAIN

Psalm 127:1-2

Intr.:

A.  “Unless the LORD builds the house, it’s builders labour in vain.

B.  Unless he LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.

C.  In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat – for he grants sleep to those he loves.”

End:

“WE LOVE FEEDING YOUNG MINDS”

“We love feeding young minds.” That’s how the pamphlet begins and you can find it at Subway.

What a headline! Of course, I am very interested!

It’s all about “Introducing The Subway School Lunch Programme.” Inside the flier it says, “A nourishing lunch keeps a child’s mind ready to learn all afternoon.”

I also love feeding young minds. But I also love feeding old minds. I love feeding young and old minds with the WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.

Listen to what it says in Deuteronomy 6:6-9:

“These commandments that I give you today

— are to be upon your heart.

–Impress them on your children.

–Talk about them….”

Keep on reading! That is in fact again another really good sermon outline.

I love  feeding young minds with the Word of God. And I love the people who love feeding young minds with the Word of God. George and Bessie King come to my mind. They loved feeding young minds with the Word of God in the schools around Kaitaia. Both are with the Lord now. I remember going with George to teach the Bible in Waiharara, Pukenui, Ngataki and Te Kao. He called it the Northern trip and we went every Wednesday to all four schools. Up north lived a Maori lady called Mary. At her place we ate our lunch. She provided us with drinks.

“…., NOW is the day of salvation.”

You can still see the posters in town.

‘World Fetal Alcohol Day’ was on Thursday 9th September. ‘World Lymphoma Awareness Day’ was on Wednesday 15th September 2010.

In Second Corinthians 6:2  the Bible, the Word of the Living God, tells us about “the day of salvation.” The day of salvation is NOW!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk to man from Fiji. Our conversation included a number of things, but I told him also about the Lord Jesus Christ.
