Tim's Sermon Outline - Sunday Night Gospel Hour
7/20/2008

Tim's definition of success – Success is salvation; no more, no less
The teachings of Jesus are the foundation for a meaningful and satisfying (successful) life (love for God, self, neighbor, etc.)
The way of Christ cannot be improved upon
But in order to reap the benefits of Jesus' teachings:
It's not enough to simply believe...we must put His teachings into practice
Our success in life is only proportional to the degree to which we hand over our lives to Jesus
All things being equal, the Christ-centered life is the best life possible
The only times we should regret in our lives as Christians is when we sin against God
Volunteer work frequently increases the number of years you live
Five main characteristics of a lasting marriage are: 1) commitment to the marriage, 2) commitment to your spouse, 3) communication, 4) autonomy, and 5) deeply religious faith
So, finally, the message of the day is to:
1 Corinthians 10:31
Only through Jesus can we find everlasting life
Giving all our life to Christ gets us to heaven through Him
Examine your life as a Christian
Are you ready to glorify God in all you do?
This is the secret of a happy and successful life
“Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock!”
Give your life to Him!
