    We are going to look at a few of the traditions that surround the Christmas season.

    OPENING JOKE: “RATS” A minister once enlisted four children to help him preach his Christmas sermon on “The Star.” He gave each child one of the four letters to hold up so he could make a point on each letter of the word “Star.” When the children stepped forward and turned around, they were in ...read more

    This sermon is to check our Christmas spirit against the spirit of the angelic host as they introduced God Almighty to the world!

    Christmas Spirit: The Angelic Host Luke 2:8-20 (key – 14) The angels of heaven gave us the first taste of what the Christmas season should be like. What a sight, what sound, what a celebration! I am tremendously jealous of these shepherds, especially being a musician. I don’t know if they sang or ...read more

     | 6,746 views

    A short talk given to 480 school children plus their parents most of whom are not yet Christians but love Christmas. A challenging message to give ourselves to God in response to his priceless gift to us.

    I had an email from my friend Frederic in Rwanda yesterday. He was telling me that the children at his Church will be gathering with their parents at 2 pm on Christmas Eve for singing, dancing, and drama. There won’t be any food on offer as the Church is not able to feed such a large number. When ...read more

    Why We Need Christmas

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,975 views

    We need Christmas because the incarnation provided what we needed in order to be saved from our sins.

    Every year, much of the world celebrates Christmas without really understanding why. We’ve done a great job of perpetuating the “what” and the “how” of Christmas. Even though we lament the fact that Christmas has lost a lot of its meaning, at least in this country, almost everyone, regardless of ...read more

    Christmas Day: Name That Tune!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 22, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,776 views

    This all-age talk for Christmas Day is based around a game of ’Name that Tune’. Each of the 5 tunes, once guessed, help to build up the sermon which ends asking people to invite Jesus into their lives if they’ve not already done so.

    (The big idea: The point of this all-age sermon is that Jesus is totally unique! There is no-one like him. He alone reveals God to humanity and he alone reveals God’s plans for us. Just like a piece of music the more we listen to it and get to know it the more its unique qualities become obvious. ...read more
