This Little Light of Mine ...
Hey!!! This is Pat Hazard ( of www.chrisasksthehaz.com )!!! I will be sharing the outlines for various sermons I have written. Feel free to make good use of them as you best see fit. I believe they are excellent, factually and fundamentally correct sources of information that can be used for formal sermons (as I use them for) or for personal study (even better)... I would not offer them otherwise.
I hope this is of some assistance to you in your efforts to grow closer in the Lord. He loves us intimately and individually ... and what a great love He loves us with.
