A Touch of Jealousy
Wednesday, January 4, 2012 by David Mains


I don’t often get asked to preach on Christmas Sunday. I guess it’s not customary for pastors to ask someone else to fill their pulpit on such a special weekend.

But the situation sometimes leaves me feeling a bit left-out. Christmas and Easter Sundays are occasions when it’s hard for an old preacher like me to maintain a mere listening mode.

So I trust that you who on Christmas Day got to retell the wonderful news about the great God of the Universe graciously sending His Son into our world, did justice to the grandeur of that message.

My prayers were with you, as they will be on Easter Sunday, as well. I pray for you, because who really is adequate for such an overwhelming assignment?

Sunday’s coming. Do you have your sermon ready? Is it relevant? Will it effectively motivate your congregation to walk more in step with the Master? What about that Sermon Series you’ve been thinking about?

Or, if you’re someone who plans well ahead, have you asked yourself what you will preach for your Easter Sermon, your Advent Sermon, your Christmas Sermon?

David Mains and Mainstay Ministries can help. We offer a wide variety of Sermon Starters and Full Sermons that will give you Sermon Ideas to help you prepare for regular Saturday or Sunday sermons, Mid-week Bible Sermons, and Sermons for special occasions.

We also offer assistance as you create Topical Sermons, Sermons Series, and sermons for special times of the year. We have resources available to help you with Advent Celebrations, Advent Sermons, Christmas Sermons, Easter Sunday Sermons, Patriotic Sermons, and more.

For more information on how to create better Bible Sermons and how to turn Sermon Ideas into Sermon Outlines, and then into effective, meaningful Sunday Sermons, please click here to visit David Mains' website.
