Communication is the primary and fundamental function of language by which we express concepts, thoughts, terms, words, and emotional states. Every human being uses language to communicate his/her affairs. The current study is an attempt to analyze some selected sermons in terms of speech acts theory, a theory that has become influential in the study of linguistics, i.e. speech acts theory. This theory has philosophical inquiries; as it deals with what we do when we speak in a certain context and the functions of what we utter. In social and spoken interaction, language is not used in isolation of non-linguistic conditions and does not occur in a vacuum. The speech acts theory allows the speaker to account for such conditions in a systematic and explicit way.
