preachings
Pulpit lessons delivered
Preachings are sermons, religious discourses, or moral exhortations—the plural of preaching used as a noun.
The word often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting unwanted moralizing: I'm tired of his preachings about healthy eating.
Someone's preachings are the messages they repeatedly deliver, whether from a pulpit or not.
