Job Sermon Notes
Series on the Book of Job:
June 16, 2019 - March 24, 2024
These are copies of
the unmolested notes that I take with me into the pulpit. The
hard copies I actually use are marked up with red, green, and
blue flair pens. Click here for an example.
Sometimes I stick pretty close to my notes, other times I deviate
from them quite a bit.
These are my
notes, not manuscripts. They have cryptic markings and
abbreviations.
