To me the time is not the issue, it is what is being said. I attended a Gospel meeting where every sermon neared 2 hours, but it seemed so short because the speaker had prepared and had a tremendous amount of meat. Other times I have heard 20-25 minute sermons that felt like two hours because there was no meat and the speaker just repeated himself.
I replaced a preacher who spoke about an hour at a time. I keep mine to about 30-40 mins. I was told that I should speak longer, however I feel that I might delve into the speaking alot but saying little category.
