There are many reasons to make a "Sermons" section to your church website to help both those that will attend your services as well as those that cannot for whatever reason

Online communications are interwoven into the fabric of our daily lives, and it only makes sense to incorporate these communications into our spiritual lives and devotional teachings. The minister who does not accommodate modern technology is the minister who will lose touch with the rising generations.

It’s not just the internet-connected youth that need to be appealed to, however. Studies show women in their 20’s and 30’s are increasingly overtaking men as early adopters of new and upcoming technology. Women are the predominant users of social networking sites and applications, so it makes sense that women would want to connect to their church and community through the church website and applications. Additionally, more ministers will get ordained online rather than attending a traditional seminary. Ministers ordained online and their flocks can only be lifted up by having access to the wealth of scriptural knowledge to be found in archived sermons.

With this in mind, it’s a good idea for any minister to make certain his website is dedicated to preaching sermons. A church that offers access to current and archived sermons provides their congregation with the following benefits:

1. The ability to print out either full sermons or a sermon outline to follow along with at church while the minister is preaching sermons.
2. Providing members with daily devotional or short sermons, handouts, church programs and activity calendars direct from the website.
3. Allows members who are unable to attend due to illness or transportation issues to access the sermon or sermon outline or while travelling, which has the added benefit of maintaining their community bond with their minister and congregation.
4. Allows members the ability to review the content and study it in depth, so as to increase their spiritual growth. Such a wealth of scriptural knowledge right on the church website will also curtail the possibility of members going elsewhere to find answers to doctrinal questions.
5. Provides members the opportunity to bring in new members by sharing short sermons that highlight their minister’s sermons and preaching style.
6. Allows a place for congregants to request or submit ideas for sermons to address their spiritual needs.

By providing access to sermons, devotionals and hand-outs, churches can also contribute the resources of their knowledge to the greater Christian community. Ordained ministers looking for new topics can be inspired by a minister several states away. Likewise, newly ordained ministers or students of ministry will be able to access a new wealth of spiritual knowledge and scriptural interpretation by examining the various online sermon archives available to them.
