Usually when you are reading Scripture in public, reading from a Bible is necessary. I have no problem with reading from a Bible. It lets the congregation know where you are getting your text from and from what I have seen gives them a sense of comfort. But also, if you have the text in your manuscript or outline, I see no problem with it. It is really a matter of preference.
