Humorous Illustration from SermonIllustrations.com

A couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon Sermon Illustrations. The website is exactly what the name implies, a illustration resource for a preacher. It organizes by topics in alphabetical order, but it is limited as they do offer a paid service to all their resources. Still, I've been able to pull a few illustrations from this site. I hope this helps in your sermons. BTW, here is one humorous illustration on death.

"A bank in Binghamton, New York, had some flowers sent to a competitor who had recently moved into a new building. There was a mix up at the flower shop, and the card sent with the arrangement read, "With our deepest sympathy." The florist, who was greatly embarrassed, apologized. But he was even more embarrassed when he realized that the card intended for the bank was attached to a floral arrangement sent to a funeral home in honor of a deceased person. That card read, "Congratulations on you new location!"

Our Daily Bread, May 25, 1992."
