Do you feel as though you've exhausted every preaching angle on Thanksgiving and Christmas? Looking ahead, I want to brief you on what kind of sermon inspiration you can expect from PreachingToday.com. We will post a new Thanksgiving sermon next Monday November 8th that focuses on the subject of joy and relates it to thanksgiving. Then, for the next six weeks, from November 15th through December 20th, we will feature a new sermon each week on Advent/Christmas themes. During that same period, you can expect to see one or more new Christmas illustrations each week as well.

As always you can search our database at any time for our full collection of Thanksgiving and Christmas sermons, illustrations, and images. You guessed it: search on the keywords "thanksgiving" or "Christmas."

Another way to access Thanksgiving and Christmas material is to go to the "Holidays and Events" page. On the main menu, click on either "Find Sermon Illustrations" or "Connect with Culture" and then on "Holidays and Events."

By the way, have you noticed the new "also see" feature on our newly designed site? We now help your searching process by suggesting other keywords related to the last keyword you searched on. For example, if you search on "Christmas," you'll notice below the search field the words "also try" and the related words: "advent, incarnation, Jesus Christ." Click on any of those words to search on them.

Preaching Christ,
