sermons

Can you imagine a very timid and soft-spoken preacher delivering a "hellfire and damnation" sermon from the pulpit? Instead of a very invigorating and moving experience, he may very well risk putting his parishioners to sleep and his career to bed. The very same thing could happen if a preacher hadn't adequately prepared his sermon outlines, and just stumbled awkwardly through his presentations.


Sermons are meant to be a call to action. "Else, what therefore then, Brethren, shall ye think to accomplish without a firm resolve this day (slam fist)!" Well, not all fists are slammed, and not all sermons are moving. Nor are all hypnotic and angelic. But, at times they can light a fire of "repentance" and betterment, and get people moving in the right direction.
