This sermon contains a fully alliterated sermon, with sub-points.

After a long, dry sermon, the minister announced that he wished to meet with the church's board following the close of the service.

''I know,'' said the man, ''but if there is anyone here more bored than I am, I'd like to meet him.''

He explained, ''I regret to inform you that my dog, which is very fond of eating paper, ate that portion of my sermon which I was unable to deliver this morning.'' After the service, a visitor from another church shook hands with the preacher and said, ''Reverend, if that dog of yours has any pups, I want to give one to my minister.''

In our sermon today we will discuss some Old Testament characters that lived real lives that made an impact upon the entire world. Paul will take this reality and make it relevant to the New Testament by showing us an allegory. This allegory will be used to show us the stark contrast between the Covenant of the Law versus the Covenant of Faith.
