Morning Star Baptist Church is now podcasting

We have recently added a new medium for getting the message of the gospel out to the Rockford area and beyond.

Sermonaudio.com is, to my knowledge, the largest online repository of sermons available on the internet. It contains over 100,000 free audio sermons. The site receives over 7 million page views per month, and has more than 141,000 subscribers. Visitors to the site can search for sermons by topic, speaker, bible passage, and date. Even better, visitors to the site can search for local churches by geographic location.

In addition to downloadable links to our sermons, our page on sermonaudio.com provides the visitor with contact information for our church as well as links to our church website and a Google map to our church. To access the Morning Star Baptist Church page on sermonaudio.com, simply click on the sermonaudio.com icon at the top of this post. We also have the icon permanently located on the sidebar of this blog.

And for those of you that subscribe to podcasts, you can drop this link into your podcast receiver(such as iTunes) to automatically download new sermons as they are made available.

If you’re not sure what podcasting is, the simplest way to explain it is that podcasting is a way to subscribe to digital media. Just as you can subscribe to a magazine or catalog and receive the document in the mail when it is published, subscribers to the Morning Star Baptist Church podcast will receive new sermons as they are uploaded to our space on sermonaudio.

When a person subscribes to a podcast, iTunes (or whatever podcast receiver you choose to use) will search for an update to the podcast and will automatically download it into your application for you to either listen to directly or transfer to your digital media player. You don't need an iPod (or any other type of portable digital media player) to subscribe to or listen to a podcast. Programs like iTunes will allow you to listen to the podcasts directly on your computer. (I know I've mentioned iTunes several times in this post. That's only because it's the one that I'm most familiar with and because I know that it's free.)

If you don’t want to bother with the podcast feature, you can simply download the sermons directly from our site on sermonaudio.com. And we will still be making audio cd's available to those who prefer to listen to the sermons on their cd player or in their car.

The best part about all of this…it’s free to download and subscribe. Happy listening.
