5 Preaching Ideas To Use For A Christmas Sermon

Christmas is a special time of the year when family and friends gather around to celebrate this joyous holiday.  That joy is what Christians want to share with the world, by preaching about Jesus when giving a Christmas sermon.  Though it can be difficult to find a new topic on most church websites that is fresh and inspiring for this occasion.  This post provides five tried and tested Christmas sermon topics.
 
Celebration Of Christ
Most Christmas sermons look at the birth of Christ and the meaning of Christmas, but this topic looks at the different celebrations that take place during the festive season.  Aside from observing how Christ has changed people’s lives, you can also learn how people celebrate his birth by visiting church websites.  You could use this idea by talking about all the different gifts that people give to one another every year.
 
Biblical Prophecies & The Reason For The Season
Whether it is in Isaiah or any other scripture in the book of Revelation, there are many examples of how Jesus fulfilled the prophecy.  You could add in the sermon that religious experts at the time had no idea what was going on and didn’t believe that Jesus was really God.  That is an intriguing way to get people thinking about how the story of Christmas was truly unique.
 
The reason for the season is one that most churchgoers find entertaining and enlightening.  After all, nearly everyone believes early in their life that Christmas is all about presents and decorations, but they forget what Jesus has done for them.  Meaningful sermons during this time should make people think about their savior rather than the gifts they receive on Christmas morning!
 
Generosity & The Promise Of God
Christmas is a time to give to others.  It’s likely a great time for your congregation to reflect on their own generosity towards one another, perhaps leading them to look for ways their own lives might be changed by giving even more this season.  Additionally, the pastor should include a talking point about the promise of God after the fall of mankind.  It might inspire the congregation while the pastor is preaching about Christ.
 
While there are a lot of interesting stories and aspects you can include in your Christmas sermon, think of the best idea when you speak on behalf of God.  It just might be the sermon that convinces members of your congregation to do more and lead to higher attendance rates next year.
