The main duty of a priest is to preach in church.

The minister inspired us with a marvelous sermon.

My father lectured me for smoking.

There is no use talking to her.

He gave me a lecture on drinking.

His lecture is very long.

I'm fed up with him always preaching to me.

To preach is easier than to practice.

Practice what you preach.

I was bored with his endless sermon.

Some lectures are not wholesome for children.

The church congregation was moved by the fine sermon.

Uh-oh, here comes another lecture. How typical. This guy has something to say about everything.

"Eep, my shirt's on backward! Hold on, you already knew, didn't you? Why didn't you tell me? I literally just gave a big lecture looking like this!" "Well, they say ignorance is bliss. I just figured it'd be best if I didn't say anything."
