If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.
I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.
TO preach a sermon or edit a newspaper were the two things in life which I always felt I could do with credit to myself and benefit to the world, if I only had the chance.
A bad sermon is like a car wreck - everyone slows down to see what happened.
I realized that every sermon I preached should be designed not to 'teach' or 'convert' people, but rather to encourage them, to give them a lift. I decided to adopt the spirit, style, strategy and substance of a 'therapist' in the pulpit.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.
Preach not because you have to say something, but because you have something to say.
I write all my sermons.
One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.
