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.

Commuting to work can be a real drag. Some people spend an hour or more on the road twice a day. If they are listening to a recorded Bible study or a personal testimony, this time can be greatly rewarding. In fact, they can get as much learning as if they attended seminary. Some listen as they jog for personal fitness or while they are riding the bus.

A recording is also great if you fail to grasp the full meaning of a lesson the first time you hear it. Repeating it over again might let you really get it. If it's a message you feel is truly valuable, you might want to hear it more than once, too. A repeated teaching will be retained instead of forgotten as soon as it's over.

Preachers can make a great impact on their listeners and on society as a whole. Doctor James Dobson is a man who didn't follow his father and grandfather into church ministry. Instead, he became a psychologist and then began to speak and write about marriage, parenting, and family values. Millions have listened to this man on the radio and learned how to be better husbands and wives, fathers and mothers.

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.
