sermon

Tag details

As an unruly teenager you probably thought your father would be a great preacher or evangelist because you didn't have quite enough fingers and toes to count up all of the sermons he delivered when you broke the rules. Sermons are more than lectures, though.

A carefully crafted sermon delivered with genuine concern for the parishioners may persuade, motivate, and inspire a person or group of people to take steps toward true transformational change in their lives.

The difference between a hum-drum snoozer of a sermon, a get up and shout "Hallelujah!" sermon, and a quiet, introspective, and intently listened to sermon has as much to do with the members of the congregation as it does with the Pastor or Priest conveying it.

One of the most well-known sermons was given by Jesus of Nazareth as recorded in the Holy Bible and is referred to by Christianity as the Sermon on the Mount. Like many sermons, this infamous one relayed many significant moral principles and beliefs. Bloggers speaking about sermons can be found at such sites as solidrockchurch and pastorpjsermons.

  • Vanity And Human Wisdom


    Samuel at GilgalAuthority Authority: 468
    Human wisdom does not satisfy our real needs. We may know many wonderful things and not realize how many things we do not know. I could perhaps write down everything I know and it would produce a small book. If I could just make a list of the things I do not know; what a [...]

  • Newt Gingrich – Practicing Christian


    The Pink FlamingoAuthority Authority: 116
    The Pink Flamingo has been a fan of Newt Gingrich since the days of the battles to save our space program in the 1980s.  I’ve been annoyed with him at times, but I always thought of him a little like John the Baptist, a voice crying in the wilderness.  I never realized how terrifyingly accurate my whimsical ...

  • The Success Of The Harvest Is Due To Divine Grace


    Samuel at GilgalAuthority Authority: 468
    Mankind has always thought too highly of itself and scorns to be dependent on divine grace. God looks on and suffers their arrogant experiments to improve mankind. He withholds his displeasure to let them attempt to carry out their boasts through the powers of their degenerate nature and in so doing, they fail. Today, ...

    Platitudes are like an air-borne virus that threatens to infect us. We need to understand this virus. We must protect ourselves against it. Once you’ve learned how to detect it, it’s easy after that. You build an immune system that will defend you. But look out… once you have the virus it overtakes you ...

  • Preaching the truth when the truth is not popular...


    1517Authority Authority: 413
    Matt Chandler preached at Elevation Church this month and told the truth. As a result his sermon was pulled from the Elevation site. Thank God for men like Chandler who preach the God-centered revelation of Scripture rather than the "narcisistic eisegesis" so common today.
