Sermon Recordings

St John's Sermon Library

This is St John's library of sermon recordings. Recordings can be played using the built-in player, or downloaded to your device for offline listening. Sermons and talks are usually published each week, but there may be delays during holidays or at busy times.

If there is a backlog, we prioritise the Rooted evening services, because they are not on YouTube. Morning services will appear here in due course, but you can always catch-up on our YouTube channel - services are available immediately, from 10am every Sunday.

We also publish our sermons on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, Amazon Music and other places as a podcast.
