  • My Sermon Skeleton on Psalm 119:1-8

    • This is the “Sermon Skeleton” of the opening message on Psalm 119 I preached last night in our Midweek Worship Service.

    Title: “Living by the Book”

    Text: Psalm 119:1-8

    Theme: The blessedness of devotion to the word of God

    Point: The word of God is totally sufficient to meet every spiritual need in your life

    Outline:

    I. The Delight of Living by the Book (119:1-3)
    A. God blesses sincere devotion to his word (v. 1)
    B. God blessed steadfast devotion to his word (v. 2-3)
    II. The Duty of Living by the Book (119:4-6)
    Verses 4-6 gives us three ways to develop and maintain a life of obedience to God’s word:
    A. Acknowledge God’s authority (v. 4)
    B. Confess your transgressions (v. 5)
    This exclamation teaches us three elements of true confession:
    1. Honesty
    2. Desire
    3. Petition
    C. Remember the consequences (v. 6)
    III. The Display of Living by the Boook (119:7-8)
    Verses 7-8 gives us two characteristics of true devotion to God’s word:
    A. A true devotion to God’s word is marked by praise (v. 7)
    B. A true devotion to God’s word is marked by prayer (v. 8)
