SermonCentral is a non-denominational ministry that works with all Bible believing Christian churches that embrace traditional Christian theology.

We believe that:
• There is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ is God the Son and is true God and true man (Phil 2:5-8).
• Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18 & 23), led a sinless life, took on Himself all our sins (Romans 5:8-9), died on the cross, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator (Heb 9:15) and advocate (1 John 2:1).
• The Bible is God's Word, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and is authoritative on all matters on which it speaks (2 Peter 1:20-21).
• All people sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and will face eternal separation from God unless they come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17). Salvation is a free gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9) that can only be received by faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Galatians 2:16).
• God works through the members of His church to evangelize the lost and teach believers to obey His commands (Matthew 28:18-20). Churches are to be open to and accepting of all people, offering God's love and redemption to each person without prejudice or condemnation (John 3:16-18). However, in their efforts to reach out, churches must take care to uphold the Word of God, and not engage in moral compromise (Romans 12:2) or affirm any sin such as sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, stealing, greed, drunkenness, slander, swindling (1 Corinthians 6:9-10), murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossip (Romans 1:21-32), witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, factions, or envy (Galatians 5:19-21).
• God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life (Galatians 5:22-25), with the goal of being conformed to the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29).

SermonCentral is the largest, best, and most popular preaching research and resource site in the world, with over 105,000 totally free sermons, illustrations, and dramas - over 300 new sermons added weekly - and 250,000 users a week. SermonCentral PRO is the premium upgrade of SermonCentral. Click here to get more information about how you can sign up for our PRO plan or our FREE 30 day trial.

We consider SermonCentral to be a ministry, but this ministry isn't cheap. The platform it takes to run a site this large currently costs over $20,000 a month. The size of the SermonCentral community has brought down our servers before, and the community continues to grow.

Our goals include:
• Free access to all the sermons available for the whole world.
• Excellent support (we receive hundreds of emails and phone calls everyday from around the world).
• Building out the site to provide the best tools and content for preaching research and resources.
This all requires a financial foundation.

The Pro Subscription supports the free site. Those who subscribe to SermonCentral Pro are helping us keep the free site free for missionaries and pastors who can only afford free. The subscription fee is for upgraded searching and saving applications, professionally designed preaching slides, the top-rated illustrations, free pro video of the week and more. Please keep in mind that no one has to pay to access the sermons.

100% of the sermons can be searched and seen for free - for now and forever.

Click on the blue CONTRIBUTORS menu option which is located in the left hand column of the homepage. After the menu has expanded, click "become a contributor" and follow the instructions.

Every sermon that is submitted must be reviewed and approved. After your sermon is approved, it is posted on our site. This process normally takes fewer than two business days and can happen within hours.

The contributors essentially retain all their copyrights. It is their choice to have their sermons displayed on SermonCentral.com or its partner sites. Contributors are free to edit or remove their sermons.

We accept both - though we don't want sermon outlines to be too sparse.

The most common reason a sermon is not accepted is because it is too brief. An outline that has a few main points and some scripture references is too skeletal. A sermon composed of a couple paragraphs is too short.

Sermons are permitted to reflect denominational distinctives, but we reserve the right to refuse any sermon that is inflammatory, racist, vulgar or otherwise inappropriate.

Sermons that aren't approved go to the contributor's own file on their contributor page, but they don't go in the searchable sermons on SermonCentral.com.
