These sermon outlines on Paul's letter to the Romans were prepared to be used in conjunction with the Bible Study Notes I prepared for teaching the adult class at the Beverly Shores church in Leesburg, Florida during 1994. The Bible class material was presented on Sunday mornings and the sermons were preached on Sunday evenings.
The following commentaries have been invaluable in preparing these outlines:
Barclay, William, DAILY BIBLE STUDY, Letter to the Romans (Church of Scotland)*
Wiersbe, Warren, THE BIBLE EXPOSITORY COMMENTARY VOL. 1 (Moody Bible Institute)**
Whiteside, R.L., COMMENTARY ON ROMANS (Church of Christ)
* I have included each author's religious persuasion because you must be prepared to sift out his peculiar beliefs from his "comments." This is no different than what you must do when someone "comments" in Bible class. It is actually easier to do with a written commentary. I have been known to slam a commentary shut and drop it on the floor by my desk when I find myself put off by the author's personal religious bent. This procedure is not recommended when you find yourself in a similar situation with your brother in Bible class!
** I have relied almost exclusively on Dr. Weirsbe's outline and synopsis. His commentary is both practical and easy to read. However, he does not believe in baptism for the remission of sins. Since Romans is the favorite of the "faith only" believers, I often had to supplement my study of those passages where he wanted to lean that way.
