Christmas Sermon ideas

Resurgence makes 7 suggestions for Christmas sermon ideas

1. COMPARE AND CONTRAST
2. PLAY THE SONGS
3. HONOR THE WOMEN
4. READ THE PHONEBOOK OF THE GOSPELS
5. OPEN THE OLD TESTAMENT
6. SPOTLIGHT THE CHARACTERS
7. LEARN FROM OTHERS  including  Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, John Piper, Tim Keller, Matt Chandler, Rick Warren, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Alistair McGrath

And remember whatever you preach, remember that Christmas is about Jesus, and the story continues beyond the manger. This may seem obvious, but it cannot be overstated. Eternal God entered into mortal history. Creator God joined his creation. God who made man became a man, lived a perfect life, died in our place for our sin, rose from the grave to conquer death, and remains with his people today.
Like Christmas, Christianity is a gift exchange: we give Jesus our sin, and he gives us new life. No matter how many times we repeat that message, it never gets old.
