CAROL STREAM, Ill., Nov. 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- With the Advent and Christmas season just around the corner, this year's new holiday section at PreachingToday.com is helping inspire pastors to share the message of Christmas in a fresh way. In addition to sermon illustrations, dozens of sermon transcripts and outlines are available from today's top preachers such as Charles Swindoll, John Ortberg and Tim Keller. PreachingToday.com's recent partnership with Worship House Media now offers downloadable Christmas videos, worship backdrops and other media that pastors can use to bring their messages to life.
"Be inspired for preaching during this Advent and Christmas season. PreachingToday.com's busiest month is December because preachers are always looking for new, powerful ways to present the Christmas message. One of our main goals is to catalyze preachers' thinking with a wide selection of sermon ideas and illustrations," says Brian Larson, editor of PreachingToday.com. From now until Christmas, the site will feature a new sermon each week on Advent and Christmas themes. Highlighted sermons this season include:
