Editor’s Note: Preaching Today Inklings are interactive discussions similar to when J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and others would gather as The Inklings to share their latest writings for honest feedback and encouragement; this event focused on sharing ideas, plans, and strategies PT members have been kicking around for their Christmas sermons.

Do you ever feel stuck when creating a Christmas sermon? Ever wonder, will this idea even preach and resonate with the congregation?

Well Steve Carter, editor for Preaching Today, and Carl Toney, author of Ruining Christmas—Rediscovering Jesus, are here to help. Carl shares an amazing version of the Nativity in Lego form, and show us how to tell the “old” story in a creative way that engages our listeners.

Then keep watching as Steve and Carl interact with a few Christmas sermon ideas from preachers who were watching the webinar live. (Who knows if you tune-in live next time, maybe you will be able to share your ideas!)

We created this interactive webinar to give preachers a place for vetting and refining our Christmas sermon ideas. Like when J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and others would gather as The Inklings to share their latest writings for honest feedback and encouragement; we gave our webinar attendees the opportunity to share their ideas, plans, and strategies they’ve been kicking around for their Christmas sermon.

If you're stuck or struggling with what to do this Christmas season, our hope is you'll walk away from watching this video with a handful of good possibilities or an idea that will spark your own Christmas series!
