F.A.I.T.H.
Many years ago I did a sermon using the letters of the word faith for the outline – F.A.I.T.H.
When preaching I always try and do something like that so people have something to hang on to and to help them remember.
By the time you make the point and read the passage you only need a paragraph or two to create a 10 minutes homily. Here are the dot points.
F – Freedom in Christ
John 8:36 NLT – So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
A – Assurance from Christ
Mark 5:36 NLT – But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
I – Involvement for Christ
Matthew 9:37 NLT – He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.
T – Triumph through Christ
Romans 8:37 NLT – No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
H – Heaven with Christ
John 14:2-3 NLT – There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? [3] When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
Using an acronym is a simple way of making things easier for people to remember. Whenever I did a homily like this, most people could at least tell me some of the points a week later.
