A Sermon Outline on Titus 3.4-7

Posted by on Dec 9, 2009 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Every once in a while I will put together a sermon outline and store it away for future use. This time, a friend asked if I would put together a quick lesson on Titus 3.4-7 and I obliged. I wanted to share it with you in hopes it might help you in your studies.

Consider this outline a “Sermon Starter.” Lord willing, next year I will begin a sermon starter page to help you in our studies! Let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

I Now Confidently Expect…

Titus 3.4-7

Introduction:

  • The word hope is used in thousands of ways today, many of which are simple wishing and not really the hope of which the Bible speaks.
  • Hope is defined as “confident expectation;” so therefore, as we hope, we confidently expect things to happen.
  • The Bible further tells Christians they may boldly approach the throne of grace. (Hebrews 4.16)

 

Part #1 – The Savior’s Appearing

  • Jesus appeared on Earth having left heaven to live a life like ours. (Philippians 2.5-7)
    • Living the life we live, has allowed Jesus to sympathize with our weaknesses. (Hebrews 4.15)
  • True love is not in words, tru love is in actions. (See John 3.16)
    • God not only told the world He loved us, he acted -> He GAVE!

Part #2 – We are Saved, Not by Us, but by HIM!

  • While we were still sinners, God sent Christ to die for us. (Romans 5.8)
    • Christ bore our sins on His body (Isaiah 53).
    • He was cursed on the tree, so we might live. (Galatians 3.13. 14)
    • Without Christ, the world would not be saved.
    • He is the mediator of a better coveneant and the Savior of it. (Hebrews 9.15)
  • We are not saved by our works so anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2.8,9; Titus 3.5)
    • However, our actions are those which accompany our faith and salvation. (James 2.14-26)
    • We act (work) not because we must, but because we are saved!

Part #3 – Our Powerful Blessings

  • Our lives are blessed if we are in Christ. (Ephesians 1.3)
    • The Father of Lights bestows His power gifts on our lives. (James 1.17)
  • We are justified by grace, because it is the grace of a sacrificing Savior and a Loving Father
    • Grace ->
      • G – God’s
      • R – Riches
      • A – At
      • C – Christ’s
      • E – Expense
