We all have a notion of how long sermons are supposed to last, do we not? Generally, it seems we expect a sermon to be 30-45 minutes long. Yet consider Acts 20:7, where Paul preached to midnight. Or Nehemiah 8:1-6, when the people stood for hours, listening to scripture. Or maybe we can look in Acts 2:14-36, and see how short a period of time it would take to preach this sermon (read it out loud and find out). None of these seems to fit in the 30-45 minute conception we have:yet all are examples of godly men speaking godly things, and of people learning from those lessons. Let us focus on the Word, regardless of how long or short, whether a Wednesday night or Sunday morning!
