The point was that the sermons aren't as important as the relationship the pastor has with the congregation. Young ministers don't have much experience to draw from, and may need the help of packaged illustrations, which certainly makes exposition more palatable. I email my sermons to some of my pastor-friends, in the hope that they'll find something they can use. After doing the work, one would like to see the effort extended beyond one's church. Plagerism is serious, but ministers can't preach with footnotes--too many quotes can be bumps in the road. The references CAN go in the written copy, which some pastors provide afterward.

I would like to think that if I am connected to God, I would always have something to say from God, because God is eternal, 24/7? That's what I would think.
