Every speech has an off-ramp. No matter if the speech goes for 15 or 50 minutes, there is an opportunity to disembark. Every sermon has a good chance to stop.
Sometimes, a sermon will have more than one.
At times, I've been listening to a sermon and thought that I've arrived at an off-ramp... only for the ride to continue.
At times, I've been listening to a sermon, pleading for an off-ramp.
I'm also sure that I've been up the front of church and missed my chance to shut up.
Any quality speech will take the the speaker and those listening on a journey of discovery where they are both confortable to stop. There lies the challenge...
