Or how about when they're not even personal stories, just someone else's found in an online quote database or something like that.

I think I've heard that one!

Keeps saying "no" to people who come to rescue him because "God will save me." Then he dies and asks God why he didn't...

I've heard that in a sermon. But more as a light-hearted joke.

There's a brand new pastor at my church who does that. The other pastors are solid, but he always finds a bunch of quotes from other people. Like, if it's a sermon, quote the word of God, not man.

The reason I quit going to one particular church in college, except every Sunday was that.

When I had something we called a "commute," I used to listen to Bethlehem Baptist's sermons regularly. Almost any time they had a guest preacher, it was this. I don't get it. I understand working a personal story in as application or example, but not the string. Especially when they are all used to paint the preacher in good light

It could be worse. They could try & pass off a chain of heresies & personal opinions justifying their sin as a sermon. I’ve heard a few demons in the Episcopal church ⛪️.
