New Years Eve and Day
This is a simple outline for a sermon to preach on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day based on Isaiah 63:7-9 and Isaiah 43:19. It is designed to be interactive with the congregation encouraging them to remember what God has done and to look ahead at the new thing God is doing in the new year.
For congregations marking the turn of the year, New Year’s Eve and Day offers a downloadable sermon outline grounded in Isaiah 63:7-9 and 43:19. The texts speak to God’s faithfulness in the past and God’s promise of something new — a pairing that makes them especially fitting for a congregation standing at the threshold between one year and the next.
This is a practical resource for preachers who want to anchor a New Year’s service in scripture rather than sentiment. It can be used as a complete sermon outline or as a starting point for a preacher’s own development. The resource is available as a downloadable PDF.
