An explanation is in order for the links in this section. Most links in LutheranCentral connect you to free web sites - except of course book stores and insurance companies. We try to feature the best Lutheran sites. In the case of sermon preparation sites there are a few exclusively Lutheran sites but there are also many non Lutheran resources.
When it comes to the helpful targeted sermon help resources many have a cost involved, if you want to use all their resources. There is healthy competition between the top comercial sites. In our opinion, the top commercial sermon sites listed are excellent for gathering illustrations and ideas. They are worth their subscription price. But most are also technologically quirky! It takes a little time to learn all the navigation paths and all the bells & whistles available on some these paid sermon sites. Some also offer free trials.
Aboard an airplane one day, everything was going fine until an observant passenger noticed smoke coming out of one of the engines. The pilot came on the PA and announced "I'm sorry to inform you that one of our engines has failed, but don't worry we still have three more. This will just mean a slight delay in our scheduled arrival time. Just to re-assure you, I'd also like you to know that nothing will happen to this plane because we are fortunate have four Lutheran Pastors, coming back from a church conference, on board." Someone at the back of the plane piped up "I'd feel far more secure if we had four engines and three Pastors!"
