Unfortunately, not every pastor has the time to give a sermon that long.

That's why Jesus taught bit by bit along His way, then took a full day and a night for His Sermon on the Mount!

Fortunately, we are blessed to have all His words God chose to give us in Holy Scriptures so we may have them with which to teach us and share (and preach, if so chosen) to others.

Currenly, the sins of greed, glutonny, fear, etc. are not sins being strongly pushed to our young in every aspect of life by the culture but it is the Big Lie of the "naturally, normalcy and even preferable sin of homosexuality."

Oh, you don't own a TV, do you?

I implore you to go to a friend's house and watch a full hour of network television (with commercials) anytime between the hours of 8:00 and 11:00 and then come back and reiterate what you just said.

Some people see the cracks in the window; some people see the window.

Unlike the windows we know, however, living windows can be healed, which eventually gets rid of the cracks, and it’s the only thing that could.

I tell you true, the first Christian preacher in modern times to effectually address the healing aspect of turning from such sins, is going to gain an enormous heap of crowns in heaven.

I have met a bunch of AOG people who are very adamant that it’s really simple, just “don’t do” (whatever) and voila you’re saved.

That always struck me as ineffectual and incomplete, but I never truly understood why until recently. You can’t tell that cracked window not to be cracked — not until you come up with a way to heal the glass. You can putty the cracks, you can scotch tape the cracks, you can whatever. But until the cracks are healed with real glass, just like the rest of the window, nothing permanent results.

... and this is why it takes a Creator to be a Savior. Who else is the Potter who made you in the first place?
