Where "sermons" mean "political speeches," then sure, a contest with various categories is a great way to recognize the outstanding speechmakers.

"Christ has done great things for his people, and he has suffered great things for his people, and he has purchased great things for his people, and he has prepared great things for his people; yet many of his own dear people are so taken up with their own hearts, and with their own duties and graces, that Christ is little eyed by them or minded by them! This is the great reason why so many Christians, who will certainly go to heaven—do walk in darkness, and lie down in sorrow." - Thomas Brooks

"Remember the speeches we have spoken so often over our mead, when we raised boast on the bench, heroes in the hall, about hard fighting. Now may the man who is bold prove that he is."-Aelfwine at the Battle of Maldon

My dad gave a pretty good lecture during a church meeting on how the members of the church were supposed to help out with the medical/financial needs of their brethren. Does that count?

The folks at First Methodist were really smart a few years ago. They combined their homeless ministry with that of First Presbyterian (PCUSA) and moved the homeless folks away from their side of town.

They are more than willing to help the downtrodden -- as long as they can keep them far enough away.
