Attendance at church is naturally higher in the fall time, so this is a great time of year to be intentional about building momentum in your church. We wanted to share our top 12 sermon series ideas for the fall to help you leverage this season to build the most momentum before heading into the holiday season.
#1
Community – 1 Week
This one-week series explores the importance of being part of a community of believers that strengthens us and helps us grow beyond just the Sunday service.
#2
The Book of Jonah – 4 Weeks
This four-week sermon series shows God’s great love and relentless pursuit of sinful people. From renegade cities to rebellious prophets, nobody is beyond God’s reach
#3
The Book of James – 6 Weeks
This six-week series covers the book of James, a letter that serves as a how-to manual for the Christian life. When we deal with trials, contentions, and lack of faith, James teaches us that we can still have joy in the midst of our circumstances. The foundation of the book is the importance of faith; faith or the lack thereof can determine the direction of one’s life.
#4
7 Deadly Sins – 7 Weeks
The “seven deadly sins”—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony—are never listed together in the Bible, but they are a good way to collectively summarize the destructive power of sin. This series explores each of these sins to show how they harm us and others. Fortunately, the series also reminds believers that God’s mercy redeems us from the power of sin and offers us the opportunity to walk in freedom.
#5
Breaking Bread – 5 Weeks
This five-week series, from the Gospel of Luke, examines stories of Jesus having a meal. Along the way, we will seek to learn more about the person of Jesus, his mission, and what his dining habits mean for our everyday faith.
#6
Out of Many, One – 4 Weeks
Unity is essential for the church, as the body of Christ, to succeed in preaching the gospel to a lost world. The Western world is filled with fragmentation, most notably due to the Enlightenment ideal of individualism. By contrast, the church is meant to be a place where unity is encouraged and lived out, a haven where life is lived differently from the rest of the world.

Bad Religion – 4 Weeks
Bad religion is something that plagued God’s people throughout the Bible. Leaning on the words of the prophets, Jesus’s encounters with religious leaders, and James’s practical definition of religion, this four-week series examines how the Bible deals directly with hypocrisy. By learning common ways we get in the way of God’s purposes, we can also break out of our religiosity—imperfect but faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Power of Thanks – 4 Weeks
This four-week series provides insight into what it means to be thankful and how this leads to praise and gratefulness to the object of our faith, Jesus Christ. When believers practice thanks to their Creator, it does something for the soul that cannot be explained otherwise.
