Enhancements to the Sermon Archive- posted February 18, 2010
New enhancements to the sermon archive launched today. The archive lists sermons beginning with the most recent and then working backward. At the moment, we only have a limited number of sermons available, but we will be adding more and more each week until the archive goes back to 2001. The archive allows the user to filter by year, preacher and biblical text. Simply click on a sermon title to see the complete text of the sermon, or to listen to an audio file of the sermon, or to print a copy.
The Sermon Archive lives here in the worship section of the website and is also accessible directly from the homepage, below the daily worship calendar.
