A sermonette is a short sermon (usually associated with television broadcasting, as stations would present a sermonette before signing off for the night). The word sermon comes from a Middle English word which was derived from Old French, which in turn originates from the Latin word sermÅ meaning 'discourse'. In Christian churches, a sermon is usually preached to a congregation in a place of worship, either from an elevated architectural feature, known as a pulpit or an ambo, or from behind a lectern. In secular usage, the word sermon may refer, often disparagingly, to a lecture on morals. The act of delivering a sermon is called preaching. Elements of the sermon often include exposition, exhortation, and practical application. Sermons address a scriptural, theological, or moral topic, usually expounding on a type of belief, law, or behavior within both past and present contexts. A sermon is an oration or lecture by a preacher (who is usually a member of clergy).
