  Then indeed he came, after he had finished his sermon, with gentle admonitions.

  خُطْبَتِهِ — his sermon. A noun with a 'his' pronoun fused onto its end, forming a possessive in a single word. Because the preposition before it demands the genitive, the noun takes that ending; the attached 'his' points back to the speaker subject mentioned earlier.
