Preach that Sermon, Preacher Man!

My fellow preachers, calling our sermons "talks" doesn't make them something other than sermons. Everyone in the room knows you are preaching to them. The term "talk" may be disingenuous unless you are actually inviting the people to talk back. Otherwise, you are simply talking "at" a room full of people, and who wants to be "talked at"?

Good point! You should do a talk on that at your next denomination meeting.

Haha. I should, but we don't have "meetings" we have "gatherings"
