40 Days in the Word Sermons

God doesn't play games with us. He gave us the Bible to reveal himself, not to conceal himself.

Take your congregation through the 40 Days in the Word spiritual growth campaign and open their eyes to what God wants to tell them through his Word by teaching from the 40 Days in the Word Sermons.

This campaign will give your members practical tools they can use to study the Bible on their own and lead them to love, learn, and live the Word of God like never before.

This sermon series includes seven messages Pastor Rick Warren preached during the 40 Days in the Word spiritual growth campaign, along with additional preaching tools that will help you save time as you craft your own unique messages. The first sermon is a kickoff message for the campaign.

These messages explore different aspects of the Bible, including the trustworthiness and purpose of the Bible, how the Holy Spirit illuminates God’s Word, interpretation and application of the Bible, and so much more!
