Last week I posted a Christmas sermon titled Christmas Sermon Done For You – Part 1 and asked for your feedback.  I wanted to hear whether or not a second post that discussed some of the mechanics of the message would be helpful to you.

Well, you have spoken!  Thank you for the many positive comments I received on the website, facebook and through calls and emails.

If you haven’t had a chance to view Part 1 be sure to do that now before you start learning the in’s and out’s of the Christmas Sermon from my last post.

View Christmas Sermon Done For You – Part 1

For those of you who have already viewed the Christmas Sermon Part 1 let’s dive into the mechanics of this sermon!

How Did I Come Up With My Introductory Material?

I began the sermon in the world of my listeners.  It’s always a good rule of thumb to start as close to them as possible.  Once you’ve started with THEIR interests you can start moving them toward the BIBLE’S interests.

I felt it was important to play on the concerns that people have about a sermon on the genealogy of Jesus.  Let’s face it – people aren’t immediately thrilled when they hear all those begats.

I tried to turn that weakness into a strength right from the start in the introduction.

One of my philosophies of preaching is that if you have a controversial issue or apparent weakness that you’re dealing with in the sermon then the best thing to do is lead with it.

I think by doing this you actually create MORE interest not LESS.

The following section of the intro was trying to turn my “weakness” into a strength:

It’s special because it’s one of the most neglected, least read passages in the entire Bible.  You say, “Pastor Randall, how can you say that?”

(NOTE: At this point in the sermon people are already thinking, “Ok, well what passage is it?  What passage in the Bible could be THAT neglected?”  I’m creating congregational “buy in.”)

Well, I say this because almost NO ONE reads it.  In fact, if you are honest, you admit that YOUR eyes gloss over when you see it.

You know the scripture passage is there.  You’re sure God included it for a reason.  But you’re not sure WHY.

We’re going to look at the genealogy of Jesus’ earthly family in Matthew.

That’s right.

A was the father of B

B was the father of C

C was the father of D

You look excited already!  : )

Matthew titles this section: “A record of the genealogy of Jesus.”  It literally reads, “The book of the genesis of Jesus.”  It’s a record of the birth history of Jesus’ earthly family.

What Did My Christmas Sermon Outline Look Like?

Because of the nature of this passage, with so many names listed, I had to choose a representative sampling of names from the genealogy.

If not, the sermon would have been much, much too long.  I’d also have too much content for my listeners reasonably to process.  Much of it would have been lost on the listener because of the sheer volume of names I’d have to unpack.

I counted somewhere in the range of 46 names or so.

No rational preacher would try to unpack in a significant way all 46 names in one sermon.  If so, you wouldn’t finish giving the message until the following Christmas.

That’s one loooooong sermon!

Another unique thing about preaching this genealogy passage is that much of the biblical content in the sermon doesn’t come from Matthew 1.

Matthew 1 only lists the names.

It doesn’t give you the back story.

For that you have to chase those individual stories down in the Old Testament.

Matthew’s readers probably already knew the stories behind all those names.

We can’t make that same assumption with our listeners though.

So we have to tell them who Judah was. And Tamar.  And Ruth.  And Rahab.  You get the point.

So here’s the outline that I built my sermon on:

Introduction

1. List examples of things that are part of the Christmas season.

2. We know the details of the Christmas story.

3. We know WHAT, but do we know WHY?  What is the purpose of          Christmas?

4. Provide Biblical Background on the Genealogy.

5. Preview what questions the sermon will answer:

a. What kind of people are included in Jesus’ family?

b. What is the PURPOSE of Jesus’ birth?

 

I. (Jesus’ family includes all kinds of people with sinful pasts). [Selected verses in Matthew 1]

A. Judah impregnates Tamar when she impersonate a prostitute.

B. Rahab was a prostitute in Jericho.

C. Ruth’s family line began from an incestuous relationship.

D. David committed adultery and murder.

E. Manasseh re-instituted pagan worship.

 

II. Jesus came to bring sinful people into his family. [Matthew 1:21]

A. Jesus will save people from their sins.

 

B. David realized the gravity of his sins and repented.

1. David came to his senses

2. Psalm 51 records David’s prayer

 

C. Manasseh humbled himself too.

1. Manasseh sees the error of his ways

2. 2 Chronicles 33 shows us a humble Manasseh

 

D. Contemporary Examples of What it Looks like to have sins forgiven:

1. Husband

2. Alcoholic

3. Student

 

Conclusion:

1. Jesus’ family is full of people who refused to be defined by their sin.

2. Jesus came to save people like us.

 

One quick note here… Roman Numeral I – I put in parenthesis.  The reason for this is because that tells me I don’t SAY that point until then END of Roman Numeral I.  I’m preaching that first Roman Numeral inductively.

In this case, I think it weakens the sermon if you give the meaning of that point too soon in the message.

I told the stories of Judah, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, David and Manasseh first.  It wasn’t until AFTER people felt the impact of those stories did I give the point: JESUS’ FAMILY INCLUDES ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE WITH SINFUL PASTS.

What Process Did I Use to Create The Christmas Sermon Outline?

I have a very specific process that I use to create sermons each week.  I like having a process because it helps me save time.  I can also track how I’m progressing.

I always start by reading the scripture.  Then I list all the question I have.  There’s always lots of stuff I don’t understand or need more info about.  For this message I needed answers to questions like:

• What is Judah and Tamar’s story?
• What is Rabab’s, Ruth’s etc. stories?
• Why isn’t Bathsheba mentioned by name?  Instead she’s referred to as “Uriah’s wife”?

That’s not all my questions… but you get the idea.

Then you have to know the RIGHT places to find answers.  You can waste a ton of time chasing down answers in the wrong kind of commentaries, dictionaries and devotionals.  Some other time we’ll talk about some tricks that will save you lots of time on this step of the sermon process.

Truthfully, in a passage like this, you should be able to accomplish the necessary scripture study in 1-2 hours max.

Once I found answers to all my Bible questions, I do a QUICK outline of the text and look for any timeless truths.  Again, this shouldn’t take but a few minutes.

Once I got to this point I was ready to nail down the main point of the sermon.  What was the main truth I wanted my listeners to grab?  I decided on this: Christmas is a time to overcome our past mistakes.

Everything in the sermon builds to this one point.

Then I asked myself, “What questions will my listeners have when they hear this sermon?”

The most significant one was, “How can I overcome my past mistakes?  What would it look like for me to overcome my past mistakes?”

So, in the sermon I made sure I answered THAT question!  That’s the point in the outline where I list contemporary examples.

The sermon outline itself is a combination of 3 elements:

• Biblical material (All the stories about Judah, Tamar, Rahab, etc.)
• Timeless material (My main point: Christmas is a time to overcome our past mistakes)
• Contemporary material (List of contemporary examples)

How Did I Decide What to Include (and Not Include) In The Christmas Sermon?

I used to struggle with deciding what to include and what not to include in my sermons.  The result was sometimes I ended up having too much content and the sermon went too long and lacked focus because I poured in every last tidbit of my study into the message.

The other result was sometimes I edited out the vital content.  And because I didn’t include enough background or enough of my study insights that sermon was disjointed, lacked coherence and my audience struggled with following my logic because I didn’t fill in enough “gaps” for them.

But those days are long behind me now.  I virtually never struggle with deciding what information to keep in the message and what I need to edit out.

The reason for this is because I learned an important secret.  Do you want to know what it is?

If you have the right kind of outline it automatically tells you what NEEDS to make it to the pulpit and WHAT needs to stay in your office.

See the above info about biblical, timeless & contemporary material.  Here’s a rule of thumb: You want to include enough biblical information that people understand your main point.  Once that’s accomplished you’ve included enough material.

How Was The Message Received As I Preached It?

Our congregation really received this message well.  The listeners were dialed into the flow of the message and what God was doing.  It was exciting to see how the Holy Spirit was working.

We had a very extensive congregational response at the end of the sermon.

What Did I Do to Promote The Sermon The Week(s) Beforehand to Help Increase Attendance?

Not a ton of promotion for this particular sermon.  We sent out a newsletter that included the Christmas series sermon titles among other things.

The Friday before the sermon was preached we sent this email to the congregation:

_________________________________________________________

Good Morning Everyone!

I thought last week’s service was a GREAT launch to our Christmas emphasis this month!

This Sunday we are going to answer the question, “What is the PURPOSE of Christmas?”

To do this we are going to read, very possibly, the LEAST read passage in the entire Bible.  Truthfully, almost no one reads it.  Your eyes gloss over when you stumble upon it.

I realize this is probably the worst way imaginable to promote this Sunday’s sermon by telling you we are going to read one of the most “allegedly” boring passages in the Bible.

But there is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more in this passage than meets the eye.

Any idea what passage of the Bible it is?  Inquiring wants to know.

Email me back with your response if you think you know!

See You Sunday at 10:30am!

Pastor Randall

_________________________________________________________

It’s a very simple but effective method.  Lots of people in the congregation sent us back emails with their guess as to what passage of the Bible I was going to preach on.  It was fun.  And it involved my congregation a layer deeper into the message even before it was preached.

Why Didn’t I Include Very Many Illustrations?

I’m not big on illustrations.  It’s NOT that I never use them.  I do.  But my sermons aren’t dependent on them to sustain interest like most sermons.

Truthfully, some sermons I hear throw a bunch of disjointed biblical facts around that lull listeners to the brink of sleep.  And just when our listeners are at the verge of comatose we throw out an illustration to wake them up.

I decided a long time ago I wasn’t going to preach like that.  I wanted the structure and direction of my message to be self-sustaining when it comes to interest.

Instead of illustrations I invest a chunk of time asking the question, “How does this scriptural truth show up in real life?”  When you show your listeners where it shows up in real life that makes them want to listen.

It doesn’t have to be long and involved to do this in a sermon.  Here’s how I did it in this particular sermon:

Maybe you’re the husband in the later years of his life who says, “Lord, I never took spiritual things seriously.  It never seemed that urgent.  Now, the years have gone by.  In many ways I’ve squandered away my life.  What do I have to show for it?  Lord, I’m so sorry.”

Maybe you’re the alcoholic who bemoans, “God, I’ve ruined my marriage, alienated my friends and pushed away anybody who actually cared for me at all.  I’ve really messed things up.  Lord, please save me from my own stupidity.”

You could be the student who says, “Jesus, I’ve been selfish.  I’ve disrespected my parents.  I’ve manipulated them to get my own selfish ways.  Nor have I respected my body or reputation.  I’ve hurt our family name by my actions and words.  Now it hurts me to see how I’ve hurt them.  Lord, I was so wrong.”

 

Well, that’s some of my thoughts behind the sermon itself.

I’d love to hear from you on the comments section of this post.  Let me know what questions you have.

Your Sermon Coach,

Randall Garing

 

I recently gave you a Christmas sermon about angels.  Because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback I’ve decided to give you the second one in the Christmas sermon series.

You are welcome to preach this sermon or use it to shape a sermon you are already working on right now.

I’m thinking about making this post a 2-part series.

In this blog post (Part 1) I’m giving you the content of the sermon I preached.

In Part 2, I’d like to critique the sermon a bit and spell out the thinking behind this actual sermon.  I’d like to tell you WHY I did WHAT I did.

I’m talking about some really in depth stuff…

This would cover some topics like:

• How did I come up with the introductory material?
• What did my sermon outline look like?
• What process did I use to create the sermon outline?
• How did I decide what to include and what not to include?
• How was the message received by my congregation as I preached it?
• What did I do to promote the sermon the week(s) beforehand to help increase attendance?
• Why didn’t I include very many illustrations?

That’s what I’d like to do with Part 2 of this blog post.

But here’s where YOU come in.  I need some group feedback here.

Would a “Part 2” blog post like the one I just told you about be helpful to you?

Would looking into the “mechanics” of this sermon be something you’d be interested in?

If so, please write, “YES, on Part 2” in the comments section at the end of this blog post.

If I see enough people who think it will be helpful I’ll be glad to invest the time to create the post.

In the comments section, you can also add any specific questions you’d like me to answer about how I created this sermon.

So let me know in the comments section if you think a “Part 2” would help you!

Thanks for your feedback.

Below is the entire Sermon Manuscript.

Enjoy the sermon!

 

It’s Time for Christmas:

Time to Overcome Our Past

Christmas is a busy season.  It’s time for many things.

Some would say Christmas is a time for families to get together.  Someone once joked that Christmas is the time when we get to see family that we only see once throughout the year… then discover that once a year is ENTIRELY too often!

Others would say Christmas is the time of year when you get to tell Santa what you want him to bring you.

Still others might say Christmas is about hanging decorations and putting up your Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.

Of course, the stores will tell you Christmas is about doing LOTS of shopping starting on Black Friday!

I stumbled across this year’s list of “most popular” Christmas gifts.

• iPod Touch for $184.99
• Nintendo 3DS for $169.99
• Garmin GPS Navigation System is a cool $215.99
• The PS3 is always popular.  It retails at nearly $250.00

(Notice that many companies have stopped putting effort into fancy names anymore?  Their products sound like a bunch of initials: 3DS, GPS, PS3)

• Or you can buy a Sony 40 inch TV this year right at $600.00

Needless to say, some would say Christmas is a time for RETAIL.

Others think of elves, reindeer, snowmen, sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles, the North Pole and wrapping paper at the mention of Christmas.

Now the really spiritual people might say, “Christmas is Jesus’ birthday!”

I think most of us know the Christmas story.

We know about Mary giving birth to Jesus.

We know about the manger, the shepherds and the wise men.

We know there was no room in the INN.

We even know that King Herod was a sociopath.

We know the WHAT of Christmas.  But do we know the WHY?

Why did Jesus come here?  I’m sure it would have been much nicer for Jesus just to stay in heaven.  What caused Jesus to be born here?  What IS the purpose of Christmas?  What is the purpose behind his birth?

To find the WHY of Christmas we’re going to look at a special passage of the Bible.  It’s not just ANY passage.

It’s special because it’s one of the most neglected, least read passages in the entire Bible.

You say, “Pastor Randall, how can you say that?”  Well, I say this because almost NO ONE reads it.  In fact, if you are honest, you admit that YOUR eyes gloss over when you see it.

You know the scripture passage is there.  You’re sure God included it for a reason.  But you’re not sure WHY.

We’re going to look at the genealogy of Jesus’ earthly family in Matthew.

That’s right.

A was the father of B

B was the father of C

C was the father of D

You look excited already!  : )

Matthew titles this section: “A record of the genealogy of Jesus.”  It literally reads, “The book of the genesis of Jesus.”  It’s a record of the birth history of Jesus’ earthly family.

Let’s jump into this neglected section of the New Testament.  Let’s see if it can’t give us the purpose of Christmas.

First, we want to look at some of the people included in Jesus’ family.  Let’s meet some of the people mentioned here.

Second, we want to discover the PURPOSE of Jesus’ birth.  We want to see if this genealogy will tell us WHY Jesus came here.  We want to see if it will tell us the PURPOSE of Christmas.

Let’s start by looking at some of the people included in Jesus’ family here in Matthew chapter 1.

Early on here we read about Judah and Tamar.

Matthew starts his Gospel by saying: “A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: ² Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, ³ Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar…” (NIV).

Judah and Tamar started a family together.  Tamar gave birth to twin sons.

But this is NOT your typical, happy nuclear family.

This family MAJORED in dysfunction and got a MINOR in scandalous behavior.

Although Tamar gave birth to Judah’s children, Tamar was not Judah’s wife.

Now, before you think to yourself, “Oh, this is your typical run-of-the-mill affair and having a child out of wedlock” – understand this is MUCH, MUCH more complicated.

You see, Judah was not Tamar’s husband.  Judah was Tamar’s father-in-law.  That’s right.  Let that sink in for a moment.

Tamar had been married to Judah’s son, Er.  Er eventually dies before he and Tamar can have children.

Tamar desperately wanted a child.  This was much more than just a maternal longing.  In that culture, children were everything.

Children provided for you in your old age.  Children protected you in your later years.  Children were a sign of God’s blessing.

Psalm 127:4-5 show us how the Israelites felt about children: “Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them” (NIV).

One day Tamar’s father-in-law, Judah, travels to Timnah on business.  Tamar knows the road he will travel.  As Judah approaches, Tamar covers her face with a veil and pretends to be a prostitute.

Judah doesn’t realize that the woman standing in front of him is his daughter-in-law.

You can do the math.

Judah gets his daughter-in-law pregnant.

Several months pass.  Eventually, Judah hears from the local gossip mill that Tamar is pregnant.  To make matters worse people are saying, “She’s guilty of prostitution!”

When Judah hears that Tamar is pregnant and has prostituted herself he responds angrily, “Burn her at the stake!”

As the people drag Tamar out into the public circle, through a series of events, Judah realizes HE is the one who impregnated Tamar.  He realizes he’s just as guilty as she.

Well, eventually she gives birth to twin boys.  That’s not exactly the textbook way to start a happy family together:

• Deception
• Prostitution
• Impregnate your daughter-in-law
• Threaten to burn her at the stake

These two, Judah and Tamar, represent some of the first people mentioned in Jesus’ family line.  Not exactly typical family heroes.

But It Gets Worse.

Next Matthew mentions Rahab.

Rahab didn’t PRETEND to be a prostitute.  Rahab WAS a prostitute.

Verse 5 mentions her in the Jesus’ family line:“Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab…” (NIV).

The book of Joshua chronicles Rahab’s story.

She lived in Jericho.  The king of Jericho was searching the area to find two Israelite spies.  In order to save their lives, Rahab hides them in her house.  She then directs the king to look elsewhere.  Needless to say the king never found them.

Just in case you’re keeping score…

So far Matthew has introduced us to:

• a prostitute
• a person who pretends to be a prostitute
• a father-in-law who impregnates his daughter-in-law

You think your family has problems?  This family puts the “D” in dysfunctional.

This is Jesus’ family that Matthew decides to introduce us to.

Then Matthew introduces us to Ruth.  Ruth is a breath of fresh air compared to the others we’ve met in the genealogy so far.  By all accounts Ruth was a loyal and honorable woman.

When her husband died she remained with her mother-in-law, Naomi, so that Ruth could help provide and take care of her.  Ruth showed great compassion toward her elderly mother-in-law by taking care of her.

Even with these wonderful character traits, many acted in cruel and hostile ways toward Ruth.

They did this not because of ANYTHING SHE DID.  They did this because of WHERE SHE WAS FROM.

Ruth was from Moab.  The Moabites originated from an incestuous relationship.  In Genesis 19, Lot drinks too much wine.  He’s so intoxicated that he decides to sleep with his daughter.

Nine months later she gives birth to a son.  She names him Moab which means, “from father.”

The Moabites eventually become one of Israel’s greatest enemies.  To complicate the situation even more, God tells Israel to never attack Moab because of the family connection.

But at the same time they banned the Moabites from the assembly of the Lord.  Deuteronomy 23:3 says, “No Ammonite or Moabite or any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation” (NIV).

So many despised Ruth because of how her family line began.

This genealogy could tell many other stories.

In verse 6 read about David and Bathsheba (referred to as Uriah’s wife).  David committed adultery with this woman.  Then David murdered her husband to cover up his own sin.

Verse 10 mentions the wicked King Manasseh.  2 Kings describes him as someone “who did evil in the eyes of the Lord.”  His father, Hezekiah, tried to lead Israel faithfully.  But when Manasseh came to the throne he re-instituted pagan worship in Israel, reversed his father’s reforms and dismantled everything good and holy that Hezekiah had built.

This really is an odd collection of people, isn’t it?  These are the people included in Jesus’ family line.

Jesus’ Family Includes All kinds of People With Sinful Pasts.

Adulterers.  Murderers.  Those who committed incest.  Prostitutes.  People who engaged in all manner of sexual sin.  Greedy people.  And those who abused their authority and power.

These are the people mentioned in connection with Jesus.

But what does this tell us about WHY Jesus came?

What does this tell us about WHY Jesus was born as a child?

What is the PURPOSE of Christmas?

Matthew 1:21 gives us the answer.  Jesus came for those of us who’ve made all kinds of mistakes.  Those of us who’ve committed all manner of sins.  He came for those of us who need SOMEONE to save us from ourselves.  Those of us who need SOMEONE who can forgive us.

Matthew says that Mary “…will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” (NIV).

Christmas is a time to OVERCOME OUR PAST MISTAKES.

JESUS DOESN’T CARE WHO YOU WERE,

ONLY WHO YOU ARE.

Jesus didn’t come for perfect people.  Christmas isn’t for perfect people.

Jesus’ family is full of imperfect, sinful, broken people who have humbled themselves.  Once a person humbles themselves, God exalts them.

David eventually comes to his senses.  He realizes the gravity of his sin.  He’s committed adultery.  He’s murdered an innocent man.

Psalm 51 records David’s intimate prayer: “¹Have mercy on me, O God,  according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. ² Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin… For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. ⁴ Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge… ¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation…” (NIV).

Even wicked King Manasseh repents in the end.  At the end of his life he sees the error of his ways.  He thinks, “What have I done?  I’ve frittered away my life.  All the things I thought would make me happy, haven’t.  I’ve betrayed the one true thing in my life.  Lord, God, can you ever forgive me?”

2 Chronicles 33 shows us a humble Manasseh: “ ¹² In his distress he sought the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. ¹³ And when he prayed to him, the LORD was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea… Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God” (NIV).

You may have committed all kind of sins.  You may have lots of regrets.  You probably have things you are deeply ashamed about.

JESUS DOESN’T CARE WHO YOU WERE,

JUST WHO YOU ARE.

Christmas is Time to Overcome Your Past Mistakes.

It’s never too late to do the right thing.  You cannot go back and start again, but you can start from here and have a brand-new end.

Maybe you’re the husband in the later years of his life who says, “Lord, I never took spiritual things seriously.  It never seemed that urgent.  Now, the years have gone by.  In many ways I’ve squandered away my life.  What do I have to show for it?  Lord, I’m so sorry.”

Maybe you’re the alcoholic who bemoans, “God, I’ve ruined my marriage, alienated my friends and pushed away anybody who actually cared for me at all.  I’ve really messed things up.  Lord, please save me from my own stupidity.”

You could be the student who says, “Jesus, I’ve been selfish.  I’ve disrespected my parents.  I’ve manipulated them to get my own selfish ways.  Nor have I respected my body or reputation.  I’ve hurt our family name by my actions and words.  Now it hurts me to see how I’ve hurt them.  Lord, I was so wrong.”

JESUS’ FAMILY IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO REFUSED TO BE DEFINED BY THEIR SIN.

INSTEAD, THEY CHOSE TO BE DEFINED BY THEIR SAVIOR.

Why did Jesus come?

What is the purpose of his birth?

What is the purpose of Christmas?

Christ came to save people like YOU.  Christ came to save people like ME.

That’s what Christmas is all about.  Christmas, more than anything else, is the time to overcome your past.

Don’t let your past define your present.

Humble yourself.

Ask for Jesus’ help.

And welcome to the family.

Merry Christmas!

WAIT!  There’s One More Thing…

Remember at the beginning of this post I talked about writing a Part 2 where I dissect the sermon you just read and explain the ins and outs of things like:

• How did I come up with the introductory material?
• What did my sermon outline look like?
• What process did I use to create the sermon outline?
• How did I decide what to include and what not to include?
• How was the message received by my congregation as I preached it?
• What did I do to promote the sermon the week(s) beforehand to help increase attendance?
• Why didn’t I include very many illustrations?

I’d like to tell you WHY I did WHAT I did.

If you want all of that coveted information then write “YES, on Part 2” in the comments section below and I’ll get started on Part 2.

If you have any other questions or comments post those as well and be sure to Retweet this post and Like It on Facebook to share it with your friends.

 

UPDATE: Here Is Part 2
