Sermons

We’ve prepared some pre-recorded sermons available for use in our churches.

They might be used to give your regular preachers a break, or because the content fits particularly well with what a local church is planning. Feel free to use an many of these as you need.

There has been such a great response to the sermon series over the last two summers, with some churches using them well into the year. We thought we’d gift churches another series. This year’s series, called Sermons On Demand, has 8 sermons by both Carey Baptist College staff and Baptist pastors. You can use one, use them all, or grab them when you most need a break – post-Christmas, the New Year, or even into 2023.

All of the sermons are around 12-20 minutes in length. They include discussion questions via a PDF and at the end of each video, making them useful in a variety of settings.

We have removed the “Summer” branding, so you can use this series after summer finishes, and we won’t make these easily/publicly available until 1 July 2023 to ensure your people haven’t already watched then!

Sermons can be downloaded, or streamed:

1. Click this link – a new tab will open in your web browser showing our EzyStream media library.
2. A popup window will appear listing the 8 sermons.
3. Log in using the same details you use for the Baptist NZ app (if you have set up a log in), or set up a new login (this gives access to the EzySream media library we use).
4. Click the blue ‘OWN EPISODE 0.00’ button next to a sermon you want to stream or download. This is set up to purchase the sermon: for FREE.
5. You can download using SD – Standard Definition (smaller file, less quality) or HD – High Definition (larger file, higher quality). Your web browser will download the file to the location it usually uses – often the ‘Downloads’ folder on your computer.
6. Downloading the file means you can play it from your own computer to a live audience without worrying about a good or reliable internet connection. Streaming means you play the sermon from the internet, which saves hard-drive space, but stops if the internet stops, and may buffer/stall if your internet is slow.
7. The PDF download option is a one-page document for each sermon that has a summary and a few questions for discussion or reflection.
8. After downloading, our system will send you an email from the Baptist Support Centre with a $0.00 receipt of your ‘purchase’ – please ignore this.

We hope you find these sermons helpful.
