    Rev. Alex Stevenson.
    Proper Use Policy
    I have heard it said that a sermon is the Word of God filtered through a person's life. Based on this definition I believe that each preacher needs to write her or his own sermons. These sermons are presented not to be preached by others but to add to the dialogue as others study and prepare their sermons. Do yourself and your congregation a favor. Study and pray and allow the Holy Spirit to move you. God called you to be a preacher. Answer that calling!
