Zero time to do a serious blog today. GAH!!!!
So a question and advance apologies to you preachers (and soon-to-be) preachers out there: How much value do people find in sermons? What is your definition of a good sermon? A bad one?
I'm just curious about people's thoughts on it.

Was not the model of the Synagogue nor the early church. So how did it become the norm?
GAH!!! Aw, Phil, I thought from that title you were going to blog about a time-honored Klingon dish which - like revenge - is best served cold.
A few sermons I've heard over the years have suffered by being served cold. They could have benefitted from some warmth; some rehearsal.
Infrequently do people find more value in a sermon than has been put into it by the one sharing it.
A good sermon points me to God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
A bad sermon lectures me on how I should live without ever telling my why by telling me Who.
A bad sermon is an old one out of the filing cabinet. Judy Thomas
I know someone who says "Sermonettes are for Christianettes" His definition of a sermonette was anything less than 45 minutes. I disagree with him. Fortunately he spoke well, and delivered a good message.
What is it with the idea in some churches of having to give a second sermon prior to communion?
