Preaching Christmas: Seven Complete Sermon Series

by Barry L. Davis

Having spent two and a half decades preparing sermons for preaching to congregations hungry for a Word from God, I know how difficult it can be to come up with something new, relevant, and Bible-centered week after week. This is especially true when it comes to the Holidays. How many times can we preach the same old story in a way that not only captivates our audience, but motivates them to reflect on what was said and take action based on what they have heard? One of the best ways that I have discovered is to view the major Holidays as a good time for a sermon series, rather than an individual sermon. This gives you a lot more flexibility to explore different aspects of the event you are focusing on. It also allows for a deeper and more meaningful experience for those you are preaching to. In this volume I have included seven of the Christmas Sermon Series I have developed that have been the most effective and received the most favorable comments from those who heard them. While I have done my best to offer credit where credit is due, I am sure that some of the ideas presented here are not original with me, and some have slipped through without attribution due to my faulty memory. If you are the purchaser of this volume you are given blanket permission to use these sermons for inspiration, motivation, or even to preach as your own, edited or “as is,” without offering attribution to me. I just ask that you do not offer them for sale. Your Brother in Christ, Barry L. Davis
