What's on your bucket list? What do you want to do before you die? In the 2007 film Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman had their bucket lists. In this week's featured sermon "Bucket List"—Dan Meyers explores a powerful, soul-stirring bucket list taken right from the Bible. You'll find some great ideas for setting up your own New Year's sermon (of course this biblical bucket list will also work anytime of the year).

This week we also feature:

• Sermon Series: "Generosity"—a four-part series by Jim Nicodem and Gordon MacDonald
• Illustration: Scientists Discover 'Treasure' in 'Junk DNA'
• Video: God Pie

From all of us at PreachingToday.com, may God richly bless and empower your next year of preaching.

In Christ,
