All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
Timothy Keller
Image
The pious farmer, who ne'er misses pray'rs, With patience suffers unexpected rain He blesses Heav'n for what its bounty spares, And sees, resign'd, a crop of blighted grain. But, spite of sermons, farmers would blaspheme, If a star fell to set their thatch on flame.
Mary Wortley Montagu
Image
I find a solace a in the Bhagavadgita and Upanishads that I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.
Harvey Cox

The half-baked sermon causes spiritual indigestion
Austin O'Malley

Listen to the sermon preached to you by the flowers, the trees, the shrubs, the sky, and the whole world. Notice how they preach to you a sermon full of love, of praise of God, and how they invite you to glorify the sublimity of that sovereign Artist who has given them being.
Paul of the Cross

Sermons seldom convert sinners they sometimes goad them into more sin.
Salvador de Madariaga

In March 2011 I'm trying to decide on a sermon series that I will preach in January 2012. So, I'm about six months out.
Max Lucado

In nearly all cases, if the people complain of the length of our sermons it is because we fail to interest them personally in what we have to say.
Charles Grandison Finney

I have some friends whose sermons are extremely practical - so practical that I can put them right to use. I'm trying to learn how to do that better but I don't think my approach or style really has changed in these 30 years. Whether that's good or bad I don't know, but I don't think it has.
Max Lucado

It has always been one of my unclerical sermons to myself, that that remark which Peter made on seeing the vision of a single hour, ought to be made by us all, in contemplating every panoramic change in the long Vision we call life... It is good for us to be here - it is good for us to be here, repeating itself eternally.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Company culture is a religion, not a sermon.
Gary Vaynerchuk
Image
A good sermon is going to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. It inspires you. It provokes you. It should make your soul soar.
Rob Bell
Image
You left , and my heart is a ceaseless sermon of loneliness.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Image
The restoration of the church must surely depend on a new kind of monasticism, which has nothing in common with the old but a life of uncompromising discipleship, following Christ according to the sermon on the mount. I believe the time has come to gather people together to do this.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
I remember the first sermon I ever preached. I had four sermons. I preached them, all four in ten minutes. And that was the beginning, in a place called Bostwick, Florida, in northern Florida, in a little tiny church, and on a cold night, about 40 people. And I was so nervous.
Billy Graham
Image
A verse may find him, who a sermon flies, And turn delight into a sacrifice.
George Herbert
Image
The minister today preached about death and judgment, and what would become of those who behaved improperly - and somehow it scared me. He preached such an awful sermon I didn't think I should ever see you again until the Judgment Day. The subject of perdition seemed to please him somehow.
Emily Dickinson
Image
The kind of sermon which is preached in most colored churches is not today attractive to even fairly intelligent men.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Image
When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn't have the end without them.
George Eliot
Image
Children are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.
David O. McKay
Image
All work and no plagiarism makes for dull sermons!
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Most of my sermons are inspirational, and I believe people need that encouragement.
Max Lucado
Image
The stupid texts of the Bible - from which, be the talents of the preacher what they may, only stupid sermons can be preached.
