I think it should be no shorter than 5 minutes but no longer than ten. Don't say I prefer no sermon that is not an answer!

Depends on how long the entire service is, doesn't it?
Also is influenced by what else is going on in the service.
I had preached for a month and my wife kept insisting the sermon was only 10 minutes long.
In fact, I was preaching from 20-25 minutes, it just SEEMED like 10 minutes -- thats' a sign of a good sermon.
A good sermon should have a very strong beginning, and a very strong ending, and they should be as close together as possible.
Godspeed.

I say 25 to 30 minutes. I like the longer ones myself.

We are there to honor and praise the Lord for his many blessings . Also to be fed Gods word 20 - 30 minutes should be enough time to get the message out .

I say 20 minutes. It's hard to concentrate much longer than that.

It depends on who is doing the talking. Some I could listen to a long time and others I can't wait for them to stop.

Less than 40 minutes. After that, you lose most people.
