Learning With 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.

The teachings given by godly men and women help listeners deepen their knowledge of scripture and see how God works in our lives every day. Great speakers used to reach their own congregations or perhaps attendees at a camp meeting or revival. Now, they can impact millions of listeners and gain a much wider following. People who might miss a radio or television broadcast can hear a replay of it at their convenience.

It is very helpful for busy people to listen to uplifting discussions while commuting to work. Instead of feeling that time is wasted just getting to work, it can almost be like attending seminary. Tapes and CDs make a sermon available at any time convenient to you, perhaps while jogging or waiting for the bus.

Messages on tape or disc are especially valuable when you don't completely understand a teaching, or when you find one so important that you want to hear it over and over. Once you feel like you've taken a lesson to heart, you can pass it on to family or friends you want to bless.

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.
