Jonathan Edwards' sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," was intended to warn sinners of the consequences of their actions and urge them to repent to avoid damnation. Edwards used vivid imagery and language to convey the idea that God's wrath was imminent for those who did not turn from their sinful ways.

"Sermonizing" suggests that you are talking as if you were delivering a sermon when you are not really doing so. "Preaching" includes that meaning but also (and primarily) refers to someone who is actually delivering a sermon.
Using a biblical quotation at the end of the sermon strengthens Edwards' argument by associating it with an authority respected by those he is preaching too. It usually sums up what was just preached.
