One way to start crafting gospel-focused
Christmas sermons with a fresh approach is to study those done by respected preachers.
Here are a few recommended Christmas sermons:
→Preaching from Luke 1: 26-28,Russell Moore’s sermon, "Round Yon Violence," focuses on the angel’s announcement to Mary and how His miracle through her would be an act of war against sin.
→ In the sermon, "The Purpose of Christmas," Timothy Keller preaches from I John 1:1-4 ensuring that because Christ came, we can have a joy that transforms our lives.
→Ken Shigematsu preaches the sermon, "Connecting the Dots at Christmas," from Galatians 4:4 to teach that sometimes seemingly imperfect timing is perfect for accomplishing God’s purposes.
→ Teaching from Matthew 1 and Isaiah 7 & 9, in his sermon "In What Child Is This?" Juan Sanchez teaches the importance of Jesus being God 'with' us and God
'for' us.
