Where To Find Sermons
I've been a pastor for 35+ years, so, it's relatively easy for me to put together a sermon and know where to find material from the Bible as well as the Internet for jokes, quotes and illustrations.
But for the novice pastor, it is a real challenge to find resources and know what to speak on week after week. After all, everything has to be new every Sunday and the Bible says "there is nothing new under the sun," and let's face it, none of us are that talented, skilled, or smart enough to be able to put together sermon after sermon with fresh and practical thoughts week after week without some help.
So, where can you go to find great sermon materials? Each week I will share with you a new place. Here is a list of both free and fee-based materials that are excellent resources:
www.ifindsermons.com - This website has free jokes, quotes and illustrations as well as some free sample sermons. You can purchase sermons individually for $5 or as a annual sermon subscription for $100. When you purchase the sermon subscription you are able to download up to 52 sermons of your choice in one year and you'll also receive 5 free sermons of your choice. iFindSermons.com has been around for 5 years and provides sermons to pastors around the world.
Next week I'll highlight another place you can find sermons, so come back again and check out Sermon Finder.
