The quote above is from my very favorite book on preaching, “Lectures on Preaching Delivered Before the Divinity School of Yale College in January and February 1877.” Brooks continues, “Whatever is in the sermon must be in the preacher first; clearness, logicalness, vivacity, earnestness, sweetness and light must be personal qualities in him before they are qualities of thought and language in what he utters to his people.” Whether you find the sermons readable or useful for your faith, thanks for checking out my preaching page. I promise our worship is more interesting and encouraging than anything you’ll read here but I’m honored all the same. ~ Pastor Annette
