I am finishing teaching through the book of Hebrews this Sunday. It has taken me 63 sermons to do so. The book of Hebrews has less than 10,000 words. My average sermon has less than 10,000 words. The book of Hebrews can be read aloud in less than hour. My average sermon is just under an hour long. The author of Hebrews calls his exhortation, meaning the whole book, brief (13:22). Summation, I gave 63 brief exhortations on one brief exhortation… what a typical dork preacher. Blah, blah, blah.
