Simple Sermon Outline: When You're Losing Your Grip

It is time for another "Simple Sermon Outline" here on the Desperate Pastor blog, for the hardworking pastor who takes seriously the task of study and preaching but is sometimes up against a wall and fresh out of ideas.

This week's outline is from a series I did a few years ago from the Psalms, entitled "God's iPod." Like the other outlines in this series of posts, this one is simple and sparse, in the hope that it will ignite (not replace) the process of prayer, study, and creativity.

When You're Losing Your Grip

Psalm 6

When you feel like you're losing your grip...

1. Run to God (Psalm 6:1-3) 

2. Remember who God is (Psalm 6:4-5) 

3. Release your grip (Psalm 6:6-7)  

4. Rely on God's mercy and timing (Psalm 6:8-10)
