A good sermon is an engineering operation by which a chasm is bridged so that the spiritual goods on one side - the "unsearchable riches of Christ" - are actually transported into personal lives upon the other. Here lies the difference between a sermon and a lecture.

The chief end of our life is to live in communion with God. To this end the Son of God became incarnate, in order to return us to this divine communion, which was lost by the fall into sin. Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, we enter into communion with the Father and thus attain our purpose.
Theophan the Recluse
