Sermons are usually, but not always, delivered in a house of worship, most of which have a pulpit or ambo, an elevated architectural feature. A sermon is also known as a homily within the Catholic Church. The word "sermon" comes from a Middle English word which was derived from an Old French term, which in turn came from the Latin word sermÅ; ("discourse"). (Actually, it meant "conversation", and early sermons were delivered in the form of question and answer, only later did it come to mean a monologue).

Once again, another body slam on apostianity. The true church is literally each individual member who is "in Christ." The original word for sermon meant a back and forth conversation between members of the church, kind of like you'd have amongst FAMILY. Now you have hired hand "guru's" with one way monologues so those men who themselves don't know God can tell you how to know Him? Sound a bit messed up? It is messed up. Every single thing about todays apostianity is perverted and as upside down and corrupted as it could possibly be. There's not much time left for this world, and nobody promised you that you'll (or I) will see tomorrow so get right, stay right with Jesus the Son of God. He's coming back with his reward in his hands for those who have been obedient and faithful. Remain in the faith, "in Christ," grace and peace.
