E. Only use
full
ideas
Write every point in the sermon, no matter how small, in a grammatically
complete
sentence.
Avoid a "title" or "phrase" outline (never "The work of God")
Avoid sentences equivalent to a phrase:
"Paul discusses the work of God."
"Two features of salvation are described."

E. Only use
full
ideas
Write every point in the sermon, no matter how small, in a grammatically
complete
sentence.
Each point should be a
declarative or imperative
sentence—not a question.
Each point should be a
single idea
. Avoid complex and compound sentences.
Each point should be as
short as possible by deleting every unnecessary word.
