Ways to Search DSC’s Message Database
The internet is good for many things. I’m sure you can think of a few.
Perhaps the best thing that the internet is good for is the wide and voluminous distribution of the Word of God.
Of course, the most important sermon any of us hears in a week is the sermon we hear when we’re together with the body on Sunday morning. But there is a place for listening to a specific sermon at a specific time to address a specific question or need, or just to hear more of the Bible.
That’s part of why we publish almost ten years of preaching and approximately 400 sermons at the DSC Messages page. That’s a lot of sermons! For that reason, it is good to be familiar with the various ways to search the sermon database.
Search by Scripture (New!)
Search by Series
When searching by series, sermons can be filtered by sermon series, conference, seminar weekend, or type of event, like Lord’s Supper. Here are some examples:
- Clarus 2005 – The Reformation: Why Was It Needed and Do We Need Another?
- Colossians: Christ is All
- Elders Q&A
- Lord’s Supper
- Mapping Out The Old Testament
- Proverbs: Wisdom for the Home
- Psalms: Pour Out Your Heart to Him
- Seminar: The Reliability of The Bible
- The Word on Parenting
Search by Speaker
If you remember or want to listen to a sermon by a particular preacher, you can search by speaker. Here are some examples of familiar names:
Search by Topic
Under the umbrella categories of “Theology,” “Worldview and Culture,” “The Christian Life,” “Family,” and “Church and Ministry,” sermons are searchable by a number of topics. Here are some examples:
- The Grace of God
- Assurance of Salvation
- Repentance
- Conflict
- Death and Dying
- Knowing God’s Will
- Work and Vocation
- Parenting
- Church Planting
Search by Date
If you remember a sermon from a particular year or time of year, you can search by year back to 2004.
