This is book 2 of my sermon outline series, and as in book 1, I would like to share just a very few of the sermons that the Holy Spirit has given me for my church. These outlines will be of great value to pastors, preachers, teachers, small group leaders, and to anyone who would use them for personal devotions or meditations. I am sure that you will find the insights and truths outlined in this book to be useful in reaching both the churched and unchurched in your community. Remember that these are sermon outlines, and you will need to fill them in with the message that God is giving you for your church, Bible study group, or home group.

If you belong to a denomination that does not teach the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience independent of salvation, you will still find many of these outlines to be useful as you preach about the basics concerning our Lord Jesus Christ.
