A Quote by Joseph Alleine

Come from your knees to the sermon, and come from the sermon to your knees — © Joseph Alleine
Come from your knees to the sermon, and come from the sermon to your knees
An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.
Sometimes in life, things happen that will knock you back. Hell, you may get beaten to your knees but you must never ALLOW this world to knock you down! Conjure up all the strength you have and drive through whatever it is keeping you on your knees. Build up the strength and your knees may never buckle again!
The best sermon is preached by the minister who has a sermon to preach and not by the man who has to preach a sermon.
Squats don't hurt your knees; what you are doing hurts your knees.
If you have beautiful knees, show your knees. I'm not a puritan. I love skin.
More women have come out of the changing rooms slagging off their knees than any other body part. I recently developed a complex about my own knees, so I totally get it.
A sermon in shoes is often more eloquent than a sermon on paper.
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.
A sermon is no sermon in which I cannot hear the heartbeat.
When life knocks you to your knees, and it will, why, get up! If it knocks you to your knees again, as it will, well, isn't that the best position from which to pray?
The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss.
Come all you mad and raging fearless friends of war and peace, Come all you sad self-righteous frightened friends down on your bended knees, All beings on this earth, you must not harm them; All weapons you hold deep within your heart, you must disarm them. Every man you meet's your son. Every woman is your daughter. Go find someeone who's thirsty, And give them water.
Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is, the better.
I want a real take-home quality to the sermon, so I built the whole sermon series around the word grace, those five letters.
God, find us on our knees because we know that when we get our knees, You extend Your powerful right hand.
Great sermon helped me to reflect on scape goats, forgiveness, revenge and the messiness of community. .. where I referenced this sermon. Thanks! Keep preaching the damn Gospel!
