Our sermon illustrations database is browsible by topic and searchable by keyword. We provide easy to use print and pdf buttons for quick copying and an online concordance for easy Bible referencing.

Our weekly newsletter is packed with humor, tips, and information regarding the use of humor.  Each week, the Revised Common Lectionary selections are used as a guide in illustration selection.

HOW HUMOR CAN HELP YOUR SERMON:

• Arouse interest and keep your congregation attentive
• Emphasize key points and ideas
• Make your message more memorable
• Keep non-committable members attending
• Make your sermons much more entertaining
• Lighten up heavy materials (especially when pointing out your congregations' shortcomings)
• Connect with your congreation and reduce hostility
• Become more likeable and charismatic
• Win respect and integrity
• More importantly, congregations expect it!
  

If you still don't believe how important humor is, watch television and see how many commercials use humor. Advertising agencies know that humor sells!

In today's society, because of the internet and television, the typical sermon contains at least two anecdotes. Some pastors are beginning to use up to four one-liners per sermon.

WHAT THIS E-NEWSLETTER CAN DO FOR YOU:

• Revised Common Lectionary Passages: You will be given the current weekly passages with hyperlinked keywords leading directly to anecdotes and one-liners.
• Current Humor: Current humorous news, topical jokes and topical one-liners to be used in that coming sermon.
• Anecdotes and Illustrations: Both Humorous and Non-Humorous Anedotes and Illustrations to use in your weekly sermon.

This weekly e-newsletter helps pastors find humorous sermon illustrations and anecdotes to be used in sermons, church services, and other events.
