Sermon Archives: The Great Preaching Collections (and How to Build Your Own)

Seven decades of crusade sermons, Hour of Decision radio broadcasts, and television specials, preserved by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte.

Thousands of sermons from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, stewarded by Gospel in Life and freely available — the definitive record of Keller's ministry to skeptics.

John MacArthur's media ministry offers more than 3,500 sermons free — every one with a full transcript. The gold standard for what a searchable sermon archive can be.

3,563 sermons in 63 volumes — the largest sermon archive of the nineteenth century, entirely public domain, and proof that text is the format that survives.

Love Worth Finding has broadcast Adrian Rogers' messages daily for two decades since his death — the clearest proof that a well-kept archive can carry a ministry past its founder.

Fifty-six years in a single pulpit produced 3,500+ sermons covering every verse of the New Testament — perhaps the most complete expository archive ever preached by one man.

Turning Point has turned four decades of David Jeremiah's pulpit teaching into a daily radio and television archive that reaches a worldwide audience.

On the air since October 1930, The Lutheran Hour is one of the world's longest-running Christian radio programs — an institutional archive that has outlasted every one of its speakers.

John Piper preached from one Minneapolis pulpit for over thirty years, and Desiring God published nearly all of it as text. One of the few large archives you can actually read rather than only listen to.

Greg Laurie has taught from the same Riverside pulpit since 1972 and preached stadium crusades since 1990. The archive holds both: weekly verse-by-verse teaching and large-scale evangelism.

GTY is the broadcast arm of John MacArthur's ministry: a daily radio programme, a podcast feed and an app, all drawing on the same free, fully transcribed sermon library.

The broadcast ministry Adrian Rogers founded in 1987 has produced daily radio and television from his archive every year since his death in 2005. Proof that a well-kept library outlives its preacher.

A daily Bible teaching broadcast out of Lincoln, Nebraska since 1939, handed from Theodore Epp to Warren Wiersbe to Woodrow Kroll and beyond. A rare archive with more than one teacher in it.

The broadcast ministry David Jeremiah founded in 1982 turns his Shadow Mountain pulpit into daily radio and weekly television. The brand most listeners know before they know the church.

Alistair Begg has preached verse by verse at Parkside Church near Cleveland since 1983, and Truth For Life gives the whole recorded result away free, including downloads.

Charles Stanley preached at First Baptist Atlanta for half a century, and In Touch carried that preaching to radio and television around the world in many languages. The broadcast continues.

Andy Stanley founded North Point in Alpharetta, Georgia in 1995 and built an archive organised almost entirely around named series rather than individual Sundays.

J. Vernon McGee recorded a verse-by-verse journey through the entire Bible and it has looped on radio ever since, decades after his death, now in a very large number of languages.

The Chicago congregation D.L. Moody founded has had a long line of well-known pulpit ministers since. Its archive spans public-domain nineteenth-century sermons and modern audio in one place.

Chuck Smith taught verse by verse through the entire Bible from Costa Mesa, and the movement that grew out of the Jesus Movement kept the method. A hub archive rather than a single voice.

Rick Warren founded Saddleback in 1980 and preached there for over forty years. The archive is unusually well documented because Warren built his ministry around teaching other pastors how he did it.
