Recently, I introduced a new eight-part series about destructive family patterns that all too often infiltrate the church family. I believe you and your people will find the messages biblical, relevant and helpful. Please use the link at the bottom of this blog post to visit my Sermon-Coach.com website.

Did you download the pages of “Re”wording Our Prayers for Spiritual Change by Shirley Wilson? I am so grateful to her for making her creative work available at no cost. For my part, new suggestions about how to pray for revival are always welcome.

I am carefully going through these pages for a third time and once again finding the prayer exercise most beneficial. I especially appreciate the work Shirley did in writing a corporate prayer around each key word. The meditation quotations are also well worth processing.

Do you pay attention to the weekly Sunday Soundbytes, and does having my ideas prompt you to come up with your own thoughts? I know from experience that referencing current events in a sermon or service makes people sit up and take notice. Suddenly listeners are made aware that the preacher lives in the same world they do. Over the years I have repeatedly used such “connection points” and have yet to receive a negative response to any of them. That’s in contrast to many, many positive remarks received!

You can find the Sunday Soundbytes each week in our Sermon-Coach.com eNewsletter. Just use the link at the bottom of this blog post to visit the Sermon-Coach.com website and sign up to receive our free eNewsletter.

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.
