Happy New Year! (an object lesson using a calendar)

Preaching.com

Calendars are valuable because they help us remember what we need to do and where we need to be. But, as this children's sermon reminds kids, there's another book that helps us even more with that. It's called the Bible!

Faith: You Gotta Believe

Robert R. Kopp

Faith: You Gotta Believe

Suffering: What Seems Bad Can Be Good

John A. Huffman, Jr

Sometimes the toughest experiences in life produce the best results.

Christmas: A String Around Our Finger (John 1:1-5, 9-17)

B. Clayton Bell

Christmas is a string around our finger. It reminds us of the birth of Jesus, yes, but God also wants us to remember a lot more about Christmas than the fact that it was a birthday. This Christmas sermon offers four important things of which Christmas should remind us each year.

Christmas: Joy to the World! (Luke 2)

Mark O. Wilbanks

This creative Christmas sermon shows us the birth of Jesus through the eyes of an innkeeper, who was almost too busy and bothered to recieve the message of joy the tiny baby brought.

Thanksgiving: A Life of Thanksgiving (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

David L. Chancey

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday for the grateful believer. As this Thanksgiving sermon reminds us, it's a way of life: appropriate in all circumstances, naturally overflowing, and the secret to a happy Christian life.

Advent: Tinsel for Twigs (Jeremiah 33:(14b) 15-16)

Bryan Chapell

As tinsel can decorate even a twig with beauty, our heavenly Father covers our shame with His glory. It is so typical of our God to make the forlorn glorious. Ultimately it's the message of Christmas, and the message of this passage, that God provides tinsel for twigs; the ignored, the ugly, the despised of this world He decorates with a special beauty.

Dramatic Monologue/Advent: The Threatening Baby (Matthew 2:1-18)

Donald W. McCullough

In this first person Christmas sermon, Herod the Great steps from the pages of the Christmas story to bring a dangerous message: "A new king has been born. And you must do one of two things with Him: worship Him as Lord or quit the charade and force Him out of your life." Herod made his choice; now he urges us to choose differently.

Christmas Eve: Away in a Manager!

Richard Andersen

We think of it as a common typo: "Away in a Manger" becomes "Away in a Manager." Yet, according to this Christmas sermon, enough evidence exists in the Bible and life to prove it is no mistake, but the holy purpose for which Jesus came: to manage death with life, and sin with forgiveness, and hate with love.

Thanks — for What?(an object lesson using a napkin, knife and fork)

In this Children's sermon, young ones are reminded that there is much more to Thanksgiving that just "stuffing our faces." It's a time to give thanks, remembering and appreciating those who have helped us, and to give special thanks to God for his great love.
