Sermon of Jum'ah was always given by the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) before the two Rak'ats of Jum'ah Prayer.
Mo'awiyah and Uthman before him tried changing it.
In the well known Sunni book Morooj Al-Thahab مروج الذهب (2:72) that Mo'awiyah prayed Jum'ah prayer on Wednesday when he returned from Siffeen.
