Hello Gathimba and Merry Christmas,
I pray this letter finds your family and church blessed this Christmas Season. I wanted to take a moment and tell you about 26 Christmas sermons that are part of the www.PreachIt.org sermon database. You can find these by going to sermons at the top of the site and then doing a Topic search for Holidays-Christmas.
There are also many facinating Power Points with individual slides packs available for you to download, personalize and use to welcome your congregants and guests this Christmas season. They really make an impressive statement!
At a cost of just 12.94 per month or 139.00 per year, you can belong to the fastest growing resource by Pentecostal ministers anywhere. Go to www.PreachIt.org to join if you are not already a member.
We added over 1,100 sermon to the database this past year. A membership to www.PreachIt.org or www.PreachItAudio.com would be a great gift to anyone who ministers in the Word.
After the Glory
By: Rev. Roger Spaugh
Reference: Matthew 2:12
Description: We are living in the waning moments of another year. The "holiday season" is quickly drawing to a close. The rush of preparation has culminated in a few hours of "quality time" spent with friends and family. The gifts have been opened, the food has been devoured; and for some, the house has been returned to order.
The Problem with Santa Claus
By: Rev. Roger Spaugh
Reference: Ephesians 2:8
Description: And while we are asking questions, how about asking a few more? How does he make it around the entire world in24 hours? How can he be in all the malls (and in two or three places in some malls) all at the same time? How does he get into my house seeing I don't have a chimney? And finally, how old is this guy, anyway!?
Coming Home
By: Rev. Greg Bowman
Description: It's the most wonderful time of the year. No the weather may not be exactly the way that we would prefer. But the month of December would have to be my favorite month and yes I do despise the cold weather. However, there is nothing like the city and countryside being lit up and the stores decorated for Christmas. Probably some of our most memorable moments growing up centered on Christmas.
