    A Christmas Eve Sermon

    Christmas Eve Luke 2:1-20 “Christmas Colors” A window opened in the yellow straw, as a black nose, two pinkish ears and a gray paw poked out to see the strange sound in that stable. The gray little mouse saw the brown hues of the ox, the donkey and the camel in the silver glow of that star. ...read more

    Christ, Luke 2:1-20, 52 Illustration A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.

    Miracle On 1st Century Street Series

    In this sermon, I use the movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate the difference between fact and fiction. The miracle of Jesus’ birth and life on 1st Century Street are altogether true and are worth believing in.

    Introduction: A. Good morning and welcome to our annual special worship service on the Sunday before Christmas. 1. I hope and pray that you have a very happy and healthy Christmas holiday filled with much joy and peace. 2. Although none of us knows the exact day when Jesus Christ was born, His ...read more

    Christmas: Hearing The Message And Being A Messenger

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,410 views

    An all age talk: The shepherds heard the message from the Angels and then became messengers themselves. God wants us to hear the message and to be his messengers in our local community.

    (The aim of this all age sermon is to encourage a congregation of all ages to hear the message of Jesus and to be messengers of Jesus). “When [the shepherds] had seen [Jesus], they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child”. Is anyone good at languages? I know there are ...read more

    Why did they have to lay this poor child in a manger? It’s not said that they were too poor to afford a decent place, but there simply was no place in the inn. Come on: They knew she was pregnant. Traveling with an expecting woman you make reservations, d

    Last of this Christmas series, this one about non-believers imitating the shepherds by checking out the message of the angels, and believers imitating the shepherds by spreading the word about Jesus.

    A Christmas Eve sermon preached Christmas Eve, 2008 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran CHurch, Audubon, IA. It looks at the nativity scene.

    While the birth of our Savior took place over 2000 years ago, I want to begin our Christmas sermon a little more recently. It’s the fall of 1944. Eduard Kaib, an architecht who was serving as a non-commissioned officer in the German army, had been captured by American forces in combat. Kaib ...read more

    Looking at the shepherds and Magi response to Christ’s birth.

    "The Characters of Christmas: The Shepherds and The Magi" 1. The message within Christmas is that the Gospel is for everyone. I know this may seem a rather simplistic statement but as I have reflected on these past few weeks, I have come to realize more and more how true this is. Consider the ...read more

    Whose Child Is This?

     | 3,788 views

    This message invites the audience to take the Christmas story personally. This just isn’t the Jews Messiah, or Mary’s child. Jesus told the shepherds "Unto YOU is born..." This Christmas - make him YOUR Jesus.

    4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, ...read more

    What makes any gift perfect - what makes God’s gift,his son, perfect for all of us?

    The Perfect Christmas Gift I don’t know about you but I find it almost impossible to buy presents for people, particularly at Christmas.

    No Christmas stocking was large enough to hold all that he wanted to give us. No Christmas stocking could display the Christmas message he wanted us to see. Only his hand drawn paper bags could properly express his love for us.

    A reflection and response to the age old question of, Are you ready for Christmas?

    Over the past few days as I encounter people I am often asked a question that is commonly asked this time of the year which is, “Are you ready for Christmas?” Every Christmas getting ready seems to be everyone’s main focus. And the definition of our getting ready encompasses a broad spectrum of ...read more
