In my neighborhood, everyone had an opinion on the local cantor. You didn't go to a synagogue to listen to the rabbi's sermon. You went to listen to the cantor. It was like a concert.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
The apothegm is the most portable form of Truth.... It is thus that the proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly expended in the air.
William Gilmore Simms
Image
A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
An average Christian, in an average church, listen to an average Sunday sermon has achieved a level of arrogance simply unimaginable in scientific discourse -- and there have been some extraordinary arrogant scientists.
Sam Harris
Image
Whenever a people are bound together in loyalty to a story that includes something as strange as the Sermon on the Mount, we are put at odds with the world.
Stanley Hauerwas
Image
The sermon of your life in tough times ministers to people more powerfully than the most eloquent speaker.
Bill Bright

There is no such thing as preaching patience into people, unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurlyburly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying to, and riding out the gale.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.

I also like some of Joel Osteen's work. I think he's now doing a book about one of my favorite sermons of his, The Power of 'I Am.' I just love that sermon.
Oprah Winfrey

You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I've never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it.
Joel Osteen
Image
The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
William Gurnall
Image
Never preach a sermon without a text from the Bible, a text containing the theme which you can elaborate. The text is the best proof in support of your argument. A sermon without a text is an argument without a proof.
Isaac Mayer Wise
Image
If it weren't for the message of mercy and pity in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, I wouldn't want to be a human being. I would just as soon be a rattlesnake.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying.

This film [Chi-Raq]is a declaration. It's a scream. It's a warning. And I can really break it down to one scene. That's the scene where we have the eulogy and sermon that is given by the great John Cusack.
Spike Lee

What the Sermon describes in a graphic manner, the Bhagavadgita reduces to a scientific formula.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I think, whatever mortals crave, With impotent endeavor, A wreath--a rank--a throne--a grave-- The world goes round forever I think that life is not too long, And therefore I determine, That many people read a song, Who will not read a sermon.
Winthrop Mackworth Praed
Image
There is more real devotional feeling summoned from the temple of the mind by great music than by any sermon ever delivered.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
It takes talent to please the people in a sermon by a flowery style, a cheerful ethic, brilliant sallies and lively descriptions but such a talent is inadequate. A better sort of talent neglects these extraneous ornaments, unworthy to be used in the service of the Gospel: such a preacher's sermon will be simple, strong and Christian.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
The 'success' of the sermon is utterly dependent on the God who breaks through and 'grasps' us, or we cannot be 'grasped.
