Sermon.net is a non-profit Christian Ministry that has been serving Churches and individuals since 2006. Our mission is to make disciples and thereby grow His Kingdom!

There are currently two primary products that we provide:

1. The Sermon Studio

The Sermon Studio was designed to be an integral part of your online broadcasting equation. It is an all-in-one, Live and On-Demand Media Storage and Delivery platform, specifically tailored to the Church.

Use the Sermon Studio as a Media Command center through which you can power your Facebook, You Tube, or Periscope accounts – all the while maintaining a safe backup or fail-over/redundancy.

Alternatively, you can use your Sermon Studio as a completely self-contained and fully autonomous broadcasting solution (no 3-rd party content, links, ads, or other). This system is 100% yours to use however it would best serve your Ministry and audience.

2. The Eye Witness Bible series

The purpose of the Eyewitness Bible Series is to help people learn and understand the Bible. Eyewitness will eventually consist of more than 125 video narratives and lesson plans useful for individuals, families, small groups and churches. The material is entertaining and uniquely effective. And free!

Each video is 12-18 minutes long and addresses a portion of the Bible from the viewpoint of a Bible character. The videos are not recitations of Scripture.

The Sermon Studio is a full-featured, Live, and On-demand media storage & delivery platform. Use it as an all-in-one solution, or as a supplemental, add-on / backup to your current broadcasting through the mainstream networks.

YOUR SERMON STUDIO

HOW IT WORKS…

Send one live stream to your Sermon Studio account.
Your live stream will automatically (and simultaneously) be sent to your Facebook Live, You Tube Live, and/or Periscope accounts.
Receive all the benefits that those platforms provide for you and your audience.
Receive all the benefits that your Sermon Studio provides for you and your audience

What it is: Your Sermon Studio serves an intermediary, an extra layer of protection, redundancy, and convenience for your Ministry’s media storage/backup, and delivery… and it includes a ton of features that you can use.

Cost: The majority (or all, if desired) of your viewers will watch your media through those networks. This will keep your Sermon Studio bandwidth very low, and give you access to many beneficial features.

Feature Suggestion: while you are streaming to Facebook, YouTube or Periscope, your live video stream will be recorded to your Sermon Studio account, and will automatically produce a companion audio file. Following the broadcast, the Sermon Studio can then add the audio (and/over video, if desired) to your iTunes or Google Podcast feed for your Subscribers. (You can even add a PDF file to the Sermon listing if desired.)

INCREASE YOUR MEDIA MINISTRY’S IMPACT AND EFFICIENCY WITH YOUR SERMON STUDIO ACCOUNT!

More good stuff: In addition to building your content on YouTube, Facebook, and/or Periscope, you will also be building your own, autonomous, online backup of your media files in your Sermon Studio account. Consider your Sermon Studio an online storage drive, complete with media delivery features. It includes Media Centers for Playlist playback, Single Episode Players, RSS/Podcast feeds, & Apps for iOS and Android). All included!

A huge advantage of your Sermon Studio Archive is that this copy of your media is COMPLETELY UNDER YOUR CONTROL. With no other strings attached. You have direct access to your Media files with absolutely no advertising, 3rd party links, redirects, or viewer logins required. It’s that simple.

Protect your online presence: We want to help simplify how you get your media (live and on-demand) onto the Social Networks and main-stream platforms. However, we encourage you to not be fully dependent upon them. Keep control of your online identity and content. Do not limit your presence to just a Facebook or YouTube URL, and their infrastructure. You never know what those platforms might change in the future.

Side Note: You can even point your own custom domain name to your Studio-powered Media Center, through which your audience can access your Live and On-demand content. Have it at-the-ready as a backup solution. Embed a Media Center into your web site for direct access to your Live and On-demand content – for those that may not want to visit YouTube or Facebook. It is a nice to provide the option.

The secular and commercially driven systems are a powerful resource . . . go where the fish are! But keep in mind, all they want is to leverage your content > to their advantage… until they receive a complaint. Play it smart and safe. We can help – make it easy and very affordable. Go Team! : )
