Sunday Morning Starters – Worship

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. (2 Timothy 4:2)

Short Sermons

Preaching has been my joy for 34 years (I began when I was 5). There is always a learning curve when it comes to preparing sermons with a need to keep the material fresh and applicable. Long has been the argument whether to preach long or short. Someone remarked that Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost lasted about eight minutes and three thousand people obeyed the gospel. The point is made. However there were a lot more things said with the other eleven. Jonah preached for three days and brought the city of Nineveh to its knees in repentance. Paul preached until midnight and had to raise the dead afterwards (sounds like my preaching). On some occasions he was nearly killed after a sermon. Jesus preached a sermon about dedication and most of his followers left Him. Preaching is a work of love and I love it. So this morning I offer a few short sermons. Enjoy.
