Biographical Sermon Outlines for All Preachers


Book Description

Biographical Sermon Outlines for all Preachers offer an inexhaustible source of sermons to faithful preachers of God's Word. The Bible contains over 3,000 different male characters. There are also several female characters in both the Old and New Testaments. If we decide to preach only one sermon on each of these 3,000 men characters alone, (which can never be possible because of the several events in their lives) it will take us not less than 60 years to do this. So if you come into the ministry at 30 years of age, by the time you finish all the sermons on only the Bible men characters you will be over 90 years and will be enjoying your retirement somewhere if the Lord has not already called you home!...Preparing and preaching Biographical Sermons on the suggested men and women characters in this book can also go a long way to help us improve upon our preaching. This can help us to vary the Biographical Sermons we can prepare and preach on our own by giving us extra 140 Sermons.




Epistle to Marguerite de Navarre and Preface to a Sermon by John Calvin


Book Description

Born to a noble family in Tournai, Marie Dentière (1495-1561) left her convent in the 1520s to work for religious reform. She married a former priest and with her husband went to Switzerland, where she was active in the Reformation's takeover of Geneva. Dentière's Very Useful Epistle (1539) is the first explicit statement of reformed theology by a woman to appear in French. Addressed to Queen Marguerite of Navarre, sister of the French king Francis I, the Epistle asks the queen to help those persecuted for their religious beliefs. Dentière offers a stirring defense of women and asserts their right to teach the word of God in public. She defends John Calvin against his enemies and attacks the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. Her Preface (1561) to one of Calvin's sermons criticizes immodesty and extravagance in clothing and warns the faithful to be vigilant. Undaunted in the face of suppression and ridicule, this outspoken woman persisted as an active voice in the Reformation.
