Take Advantage Of Christian Audio Sermons

By Betty Hall


People go to church one day a week, but with modern technology they can get instruction in the Word as often as they like. Christian audio sermons bring lessons preached by leading pastors, teachers, and evangelists to anyone anywhere. Ministries offer their recordings online or for purchase;; they may also give them away to supporters who donate to keep the ministry going.

These are a great resource for anyone who wishes to learn more about the Bible or to deepen their faith. There are great men and women of God who lecture their congregations or audiences on a daily or weekly schedule. With recordings, these speakers can reach millions of people as well. Many believers have their favorite preachers and plan their days so they won't miss a message.

It is very helpful for busy people to listen to uplifting discussions while commuting to work. Instead of feeling that time is wasted just getting to work, it can almost be like attending seminary. Tapes and CDs make a sermon available at any time convenient to you, perhaps while jogging or waiting for the bus.

Another valuable facet of this form of communication is that some teaching is either so relevant or so deep that you feel like hearing it more than once. With audio tapes or posts, you can go over the same material again and again. When you have really gotten the message, you can share it with friends or family members.

Many famous speakers have been able to extend their influence by offering a copy of an especially important teaching or of a series of lessons. Doctor James Dobson, a well-known radio talk show host with an advanced degree in psychology, has helped millions of listeners become better husbands, fathers, wives, mothers, and parents. Television celebrity Pat Robertson and his son Gordon are seen daily on CBN television; they also can be followed online. Faithful supporters of The 700 Club, their world-wide ministry, receive a special sermon each month on CD.

People like Pat and Gordon Robertson, television hosts of the famous '700 Club' program, influence hundreds of thousands of people every year. Supporters of the world-wide outreach of this ministry receive a monthly CD of teaching by either father or son. Charles Stanley is a pastor in North Carolina, but he is a household name in America as he broadcasts his sermons on almost every Christian radio channel.

Many people say that listening to recorded sermons has changed their lives. Scripture which may be incomprehensible can come alive when a skilled teacher explains it, maybe citing the precise meaning of a Greek or Hebrew word. Personal testimonies of how believers have overcome trials and tribulations can inform, instruct, and inspire.

Learning how to incorporate biblical precepts into daily life is critical to righteousness. Recordings allow speakers to instruct people they will never meet in person. The resources available to those of us who desire to hear the Word of God and walk devoutly are almost limitless. Each of us will be sure to find a lesson or a series of lessons by a speaker that tells truth in a way we can hold on to.
