Sermons

 

Communion TableThis page brings you the outlines for inspiring weekly sermons we at Trinity Covenant Church enjoy each Sunday. The outlines include the Scriptural references that reinforce the message that is conveyed in the sermon. Those in attendance at the service typically follow along by filling in the blanks on the outlines, and adding our own personal notes. We love to review them on Sunday evenings before we go to sleep, or during the week.

To make it easier for you to understand these outlines in the absence of hearing the full sermon, Pastor Dave has prefilled the blanks in RED.

The bigger plan for this page will be to bring you access to a PodCast subscription that you can download to your MP3 player.

The following sermon outlines are offered in PDF which can be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't already have this free software on your computer, click the Acrobat banner below and follow instructions to download and install Acrobat Reader.
