There really are apps for that …

On my iPhone are multiple apps for listening to sermons.

All kinds of sermons from all kinds of Christian preachers from all around the world.

Each night, before turning in, it’s my habit of listening to at least one (if not several) sermons. It’s a great way to wind down my day and load some good thinking into my head before resting it. I also have a professional reason for this habit; being a preacher myself, it’s one way of being more aware of what is being preached in churches around the globe and makes me more familiar with other preachers.

It’s also a practical and positive means of expanding my Christian education. The apps are much easier than going to individual church links for sermons.

Every app I have for sermons were free, yet they offer thousands of messages that can challenge, inspire, and educate listeners in the Word Of God.

Now here’s a challenge for you: download a free app for sermons, and listen to just one sermon each day (whatever time works for you) for the next 30 days. Don’t miss a day; simply don’t allow yourself to go to bed without listening to one sermon.

At the end of 30 days, measure what you’ve learned by adding a little Bible teaching to each day. Don’t be surprised if you want to make this challenge into a new normal.

P.S. Just one of the apps I use is shown above, oneplace.com. From that app I have discovered the preaching ministry of Dr. Stephen Davey. Dr. Davey comes from a Baptist background. Even though I am not Baptist, I have listened to at least a couple dozen of his sermons and find him to be a competent, intelligent and enjoyable preacher. You might want to check out some of his sermons. I have not listened to all of his preaching, so there may be some doctrinal and theological differences (I assume there are), so I do not give a blanket endorsement for him. But so far what I’ve heard has been reliable.
