Bible Note: Greetings Mommapbs! Obviously, I can't speak for anyone else, but I agree with you that we must cite our sources. With one exception, I have never preached a 'canned' sermon. I did preach one of Peter Marshall's Easter sermons word for word - "Were you there?" I even listened to the orginal sermon and tried to get the same sort of Irish lilt to it. However, I made it clear what I was doing. In this particular case, the sermon series on God's will was all my own original work except for the headings. I took those directly from MacArthur, but - as I did on this forum - I gave credit where credit was due. So, in answer to your question, I don't generally look favourably upon 'lifting' a sermon. However, occasionally, a sermon may speak to me and I may then adapt the sermon to my style, ect.... I don't have any problem with that practice, but I don't like simply getting sermons or outlines out of a book. If one does do this, one must give credit or it is plagarism. I hope this helps!
