Most sermons are forgettable

I suppose I shouldn't admit to this, but most weeks I've completely forgotten any sermon I hear on Sunday by about... Monday morning.

I do remember the ones I preach, then I guess someone has to.

So it is unusual that I can remember Sunday evening's sermon, - and it was a blinder - in fact what-his-name (forgotten) was speaking about forgiveness.

Rather than giving forgiveness, feeling the awfulness of the sin, and receiving it recognising the grace of God, we should give recognising the grace of God and receive recognising the awfulness of sin.

Simple, profound, memorable - shame I cant remember the name of the guy preaching...
