The Sermons Online Publishing System
The Sermons Online Publishing System is a comprehensive solution for publishing rich-content sermons. The system consists of a desktop Publisher application, a web-based Site Manager, and media hosting services.
Few web hosts provide the specialized environment needed to publish sermon audio and video. At Sermons Online, hosting sermons is all we do. We are a companion service to your web site, adding the capabilities you'll need to get your sermons online.
Generous Disk and Bandwidth Allotments
Sermon Hosting is provided in units of 1 gigabyte (GB) of disk space. Each GB is typically enough for a year's worth of weekly audio sermons, or about 2-3 months of video sermons. You have complete control over the size of your online sermon archive: you can keep some sermons online permanently and remove others after a period of time.
You may use up to 20GB per month of bandwidth, enough for hundreds of hours of playback. (This limit applies regardless of the size of your online archive; 20GB is about 5 times the usage rate of a typical church on Sermons Online.)
There are no special fees for video files vs. audio files. The cost of the service is measured only by the disk space used. Audio will typically use about 16MB of space per sermon, and video will use about 120MB per sermon.
Sermon Distribution Tools Included
To help you distribute your sermons, we provide the following online tools:
  • Sermon Publishing System - We provide you with cool software to publish your sermon audio and video. Our publishing system lets you "drop in" a fully-featured online sermon archive on any page of your web site.
  • Podcasting - A podcast of your most recent sermons can be automatically published each time you add a new sermon to your archive.
  • Online Donations - A donations link can be displayed at the bottom of the sermon and newsletter pages. This link points to a Paypal Donations payment page for your ministry.

The Sermon Publisher and Site Manager
The Sermons Online system has three parts, each of which serves the needs of a different group of people:
Sermon Publisher:  The Publisher is for Authors. It creates and uploads sermons. Use it whenever you have a new sermon you want to put on your church web site. The Publisher is installed on a personal computer.
Sermon Site Manager:  The Site Manager is for Editors. Your sermons are published to an online archive. The Site Manager is a web page that you use to manage your archive.
Your Church Sermon Page:  Your Sermon Page is for Web Visitors. On your church web site, you'll set up a Sermon Page that connects to your sermon archive. This is where people who visit your church on the web will go to find your sermons.
Full Support for Sermon Audio/Video
Your sermon can be published with up to four streaming audio or video files, in any combination of Windows Media, MP3, or Real formats -- enough to provide maximum compatibility and audience coverage. The Publisher also comes bundled with open source applications for audio and video processing tasks such as extracting audio from CDs or recording WAV files.
Comprehensive Indexing
To help your visitors find sermons of interest to them, the Publisher indexes your sermons by Date, Title, Author, Series/Topic, and Scripture reference. Scripture references are automatically linked to the Bible Gateway, the largest online source of Bible translations.
File Attachment and Rich-Text Notes
The Publisher provides a full WYSIWYG rich-text editor with HTML support for adding notes or outlines to your sermon. You can copy and paste your notes directly from Word, or type them in yourself. You can also attach a document file to your sermon - an ideal way to make your church bulletin available online.
Simple and Easy to Use
The Publisher uses a familiar Windows-style interface to walk you through the publishing process. It collects the sermon information for each sermon you want to publish, then works in the background to put them online. No technical knowledge is required.
Free Software
There is no charge for using the Publisher or Site Manager when you use our hosting services. In addition, The Publisher is available under a General Public License (GPL), which allows individuals and organizations to modify it for other services for free. See our License Page for details.
