Here’s the thing:  Plenty of churches in our area don’t have a full or part time pastor.  They rely on “supply preachers” to visit for worship and provide a sermon.  And THAT kicks in a whole, other problem:  The “supply” of supply-preachers in our area has been described as a “very small and shallow pool.”  There just aren’t enough to go around. This is further complicated by the fact that some of our smallest churches, struggling just to keep the lights on and have a place to gather for Sunday worship, really can’t afford the minimum honorarium (a fancy word for “fee”) for a guest preacher.

But a lot of those churches have a video projector in their sanctuaries; with screens or large monitors where everyone attending worship can see them.  So… I’m inviting any church that might find itself in such a situation to feel free to use any of the sermons that I record and post here on my website and on my YouTube channel. (Click here to link to my YouTube Channel – all my previous sermons are there under the “videos” category.)  No charge, no need to ask, no hassles about how / when / why you use them.  If some thoughts I’ve recorded into a video sermon can help?  Then help yourself.

I’ll be posting new sermons here in my dated post feed (It’s the landing page for this website) at least a couple of times a month now that I’m retired.  You might want to click the “subscribe via email” button; that will send you an email any time a new post appears here. (Granted, not all my posts will be sermons; some might well appear somewhat “provocative” as this is the place I tend to speak out for myself.)

You might want to download the program “4k Video Downloader” (Click the image.)  It allows you to download any YouTube video so you can use the video file locally on a computer in worship and not have to stream the video via the Internet.

It certainly is a given that a video sermon isn’t quite the same thing as having a person stand in your pulpit.  But if this can work for churches like Elevation and others where the preacher is physically at the “Mother Ship” and all the satellite locations have to “tune in” to get the same sermon?  Why can’t it work for those of us who might need something like this?

A couple of examples of what I call “Bonus Sermons” (Usually recorded outside somewhere in a location that provides context) and others are below.  A rough rule of thumb: any sermon I record here in my study will usually run 20 – 25 minutes long.  My “out there” bonus sermons are usually longer; ranging from 25 – 30 minutes on average, with some running upwards of 45 minutes.  My last one in Centralia, Pennsylvania this past October ran an hour and 9 minutes but something that long is very rare.  My “target” is to stay inside of 20 minutes.
