For many of my sermons, there is both audio and transcript. Audio recordings are 15-20 minutes. Older sermons are at the bottom, most recent at the top. Feedback welcome. I’m a substitute preacher, which can pose challenges as I can be walking into an unknown situation or my message must stand alone. (I also preach at an assisted living facility, and the audio for those isn’t always as good due to the sound situation in the room.)
⇒ NOTE: most of the audio links are from google drive, and it seems best to download it and then listen to it. If you don’t download, you may find the recording will suddenly stop at some point, and you’ll have to begin again.
