Sermon outline template
An outline you can use to move from biblical text to faithful sermon.
1. The text
Write out the passage in your own words. Note the genre and context.
2. The big idea
State the main point of the passage in one sentence.
3. The main movements
Identify 2 – 4 sub-points that unfold the big idea.
4. Christ connection
How does this passage point to or flow from the gospel?
5. Application
What does it look like for your specific congregation to live this out this week?
6. Introduction & conclusion
Write these last. The introduction should make the people want to hear the big idea; the conclusion should send them into the week with it.
