How to Write a Lousy Sermon A Sermon is an exposition of the gospel of Jesus Chrit to a general audience. It is Good News, because that is what Jesus commissioned.

Preaching Dec. 6, 2016 Just Say No to Boring Sermons: Preaching and the Formation of my Pastoral Identity My little sister and I used to get in trouble for laughing during church, basically all the time. And if we weren’t getting in trouble for laughing, it was for fidgeting too much, or doodling on the back of the paper from the Ritual of Friendship pad, or anything else that gave Mom any idea that we weren’t listening to the sermon.
