Sermon Outlining 101: Brian Kelly

In this focused and practical message,  Brian Kelly shares from his experience as a preacher and church planter on the necessity of clear, intentional sermon outlines. “If you don't have a plan, all you have is a wish,” he says—reminding us that Spirit-empowered preaching still requires thoughtful preparation. Recorded live in Kampala, Uganda, this episode explores how well-structured outlines help preachers deliver the right message to the right people, and why relying solely on emotion or stirring stories isn’t enough to sustain a faithful ministry.Brian Kelly has dedicated over 23 years to pastoral ministry, demonstrating a lifelong passion for church planting and global missions. He and his wife, Lynne, spent a decade in Uganda, where they established a church and launched a Calvary Chapel Bible College extension campus to train leaders for ministry. After their years in Africa, they served as missionaries in New Zealand, leading Calvary Chapel Auckland. Throughout his career, Brian has been instrumental in planting churches both in the United States and internationally. Currently residing in Florida, he is the lead pastor of WestChurch, a congregation he founded three years ago. Brian and Lynne are blessed with three grown children, all actively involved in ministry.Recommended Links: How to Build a Sermon Outline / Kako Napraviti Nacrt Propovedihttps://cgnmedia.org/channel/the-expositors-collective/video/how-to-build-a-sermon-outline-kako-napraviti-nacrt-propovediCrafting Captivating Sermon Outlines with Alan Stoddardhttps://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/crafting-captivating-sermon-outlines-with-alan-stoddardSermon Preparation: Step by Step with Brian Brodersenhttps://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/sermon-preparation-step-by-step-with-brian-brodersenFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.
