http://www.sermonoutlinesfromthebible.com/instructional-videos/ Whenever I discuss sermon outlining with my students there is almost always a need to do a little de-programming of their thinking. This is because the typical preacher thinks like a preacher when it comes to outlining, rather than thinking like the listener as he should. A good rule of thumb is to create and develop outline points that the listener can understand if all he or she had was a Bible and the written outline. As he or she reads the passage and observes the sermon points it should be obvious how the selected text dramatically relates to his or her Christian journey. The outline should not merely inform the reader of a “premise” or a “promise” but rather help them to do some soul-searching that may lead to a transformed life.
