Making your 'Christmas Talk' better - Sam Chan, Andrew Barry and Adrian Russell

Making your 'Christmas Talk' better - Sam Chan, Andrew Barry and Adrian Russell

How to preach Christmas that engages and connects. - 

We've pulled in three experts to help us prepare for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  We share talk structures, attention hooks, and illustrations that connect with guests who didn’t come for a sermon but need a Saviour.

Sam Chan talks about tailoring length, tone, and imagery for each. 

Andrew Barry frames Christmas with a pastoral lens: some in the room are celebrating their first Christmas in Christ, others their last -- and how this shapes content and cadence, putting joy and gravity side by side.

Adrian Russell talks about speaking into tragedy at Christmas, by preaching peace that is more than a feeling—reconciliation with God that makes real.

For Christmas morning, we share passages and closes that put God’s face turned toward us and the cross in view, with invitations that are personal and memorable.
