When I write my sermons, I generally don't write them out in full. However, I had to preach an evangelistic sermon for preaching lab recently and, for whatever reason, I ended up writing out most all of it and preached it pretty close to how it was written. So, I figured I might as well just post it here. A couple notes:
1) In general I write sermons how I speak, which means the grammar here is less than perfect in places. I've also preserved the many paragraph breaks to give a sense of how it flows and where the pauses might fall.
2) The setting we were assigned was a 10-15 minute evangelistic sermon based on a Christmas narrative passage, the idea being a sermon you might preach around Christmas, when lots of people will be in church who wouldn't normally be there.
Anyway, here it is:
