do sermons have a word limit?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have been assured on multiple occasions that Logos is stable and isn't prone to data corruption. However, given my past experiences with it, I just want to make sure.

I am working on one of my sermons, so I am not done with it, but I just happened to look down and it said it is over an hour and a half (to speak it, I guess?) I am actually not sure what this number means, but again, I am not done.

Is this ok? Is there a word max for sermons? If I am pushing the system to its limits, will it give me a warning before everything is destroyed? Or is what I previously experienced with note corruption truly not something to worry about here and I can just keep typing?

Thank you for any clarity anyone is able to provide.

This is simply an indication as to how long it is estimated to take to preach a sermon of that length.

I forget how this duration is derived but it is nothing to worry about

Hi @Graham Criddle,

Ok, great. :) Thank you for letting me know, and I am relieved that I don't need to worry about it. Thank you again!

If I remember the statistics correctly, going over a hour is fine if you're a early Puritan … but John Chrysostom exceeds two hours for special occasions …

What, it wasn't a trivia question? Oops.🙄

Hi @MJ. Smith,

The longest class I've taught was 8 hrs. :) Maybe I'm a Puritan and don't know it.

Humour: Hey Kristin, maybe you could forewarn your congregation about what's coming by handing out tiny little espresso cups instead of communion cups as they're all coming into the service! 😁💪
