A Sermon Is Not a Computer Printout

I would also say that a sermon is not a movie, and shouldn't be watched on a screen at church: A Sermon Is Not a Computer Printout:

"It is indispensible that a minister . . . know men, too, as well as books. Many ministers are altogether too 'bookish.' They fail of influence from not knowing the material they have to operate upon. The heart of man must be interpreted, as well as the Word of God, by him who would have power over an audience. He must be thoroughly acquainted with human nature -- must know the feelings of men of all classes and conditions, and all the springs of action, and avenues to the soul" (Fish, Power in the Pulpit, pp. 12-13).
