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.

Charles Spurgeon

The sight of a drunkard is a better sermon against that vice than the best that was ever preached on that subject.

George Savile

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.

William Feather

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

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day

Edgar Guest

If the truth were known, many sermons are prepared and preached with more regard for the sermon than the souls of the hearers.

George Frederick Pentecost

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

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.

Edgar Guest

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

A sermon is no sermon in which I cannot hear the heartbeat.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I never heard a Christian sermon preached in a church.

Lincoln Steffens

In the sermon I have just preached, whenever I said Aristotle, I meant St. Paul.

William Archibald Spooner

I've never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it.

Joel Osteen

I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually.
