Expository Sermon Outline from Luke's Introduction

The following is a skeletal outline (just the four main points) from an expository sermon titled "Things That Really Matter."  The text is from Luke's introduction to his Gospel account.

Verse 1: Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

Point 1: IT MATTERS WHAT YOU BELIEVE (Verse 1)

Verse 2: Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

Point 2: IT MATTERS WHERE YOU BASE YOUR BELIEFS (Verse 2)

Verse 3: It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

Point 3: IT MATTERS WHETHER YOU SPREAD THE TRUTH (Verse 3)

Verse 4: That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Point 4: IT MATTERS WHETHER YOU ARE CERTAIN OF THE TRUTH (Verse 4)
