Topical Sermons - Executable Outlines

“If you are an intelligent person, you will read the one book that has drawn more
attention than any other, IF you are searching for the truth.”
Mark A. Copeland
Of course, as unique as the Bible may be, it is of little value unless we receive it in our hearts and work
it out in our lives:
“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with
meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
“For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his
natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets
what kind of man he was.”
“But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a
forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
- Ja 1:21-25
May we never neglect this unique Book, but receive it into our hearts and lives the way God intended!
Note: Much of the material for this lesson was taken from “Evidence That Demands A Verdict”,
Vol. 1, by Josh McDowell.
