Take Advantage Of Christian Audio Sermons

By Betty Hall


Today there are many evangelists and Bible scholars on television and radio. Getting Christian audio sermons is easy. Most ministries have online stores offering past lessons, and many also give away their more popular ones in return for donations. Other organizations may post them online, where you can listen to them for free.

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.

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.

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.

Pastors like Charles Stanley and Chip Ingram are household names. People listen to them for encouragement, correction, enlightenment, and inspiration. Those who would have a hard time reading a book by these and other Christian authors thrive on listening to discs or tapes. Some people listen to discs when they can't sleep and find them soothing.

Ask almost any believer and you will find that they value being able to listen to Christian teachings. Many say that their lives have been changed by revelations of biblical truths they were not understanding from their own reading of scripture. For example, learning the meaning of the Greek or Hebrew word used originally can change the whole nature of the text. Others like hearing the experiences of believers who have battled similar problems and come out victorious.

It is almost impossible to live a godly life without help from dedicated and spirit-filled leaders. Many who give recorded sermons will never meet the people whose lives they have changed. Check out the wealth of resources available. You are sure to find one or more lecturers who will enrich your Christian walk.
