Sermon Notes

I will be preaching my first sermon tomorrow (Sunday, November 22, 2009) in the Marine Corps Air Station Chapel as the Station Protestant Chaplain. My text will be Colossians 3:1-11. My sermon title will be Live Holy, No Matter What. Below are my main points:
I. Seek the Heavenly (vv. 1-4)
A. Set your minds on things above
B. Reasons to seek things above
II. Slay the Earthly (5-9)
A. We must "put to death" the sensual sins
B. We must "put off" the social sins
III. Strengthen our Christ-Likeness (vv. 10-11)
A. For we have put on the new man
B. For the goal is "Christ is all and in all"

In a few minutes, I am leaving to go preach at a church up in Isanti County. I am preaching from Colossians 3:1-11 and the title comes from a posting a friend of mine who is a chaplain to the Navy SEAL community.

My three main points are:

• Seek the Heavenly
• Slay the Earthly
• Strengthen the Christ-Likeness
  

I love to preach, and this morning should be fun!

After service update:
As I thought, it was great fun to present my sermon. The church was a little hard to find (don't always trust Google maps), but I made it in plenty of time, and we had a great time of worship.
