Pastor Holwick's 1,600+ Sermon Archive
(actually, it's at 1,626 right now)
This archive contains forty years' worth of my preaching in Baptist churches in Ohio, New Jersey and New England. It is similar to my online sermon collection but this archive includes the ability to search for topics or phrases. The file sets up automatically in the folder "C:\Kerux" (Kerux means "Preacher" in Greek). The setup routine will give you the option of putting an icon on your desktop. You can also launch it from the Start menu by clicking on the filename. It requires Windows to operate and is actually a help-file. The file size is 15 megabytes.
You will notice some duplication of material and also changes in interpretation on some issues. Many of the series were preached in sequence which can be traced by following the year listed to the right of the sermon title. Bible studies are marked Bible study. In some cases the main Scripture is not the focus of the entire sermon and may refer to just a minor point.
The setup file is produced with Inno Setup Compiler by Jordan Russell. It is also freeware.
I have composed my sermons since 1988 using an old DOS outline program called PcOutline. It isn't broken so I don't fix it. I even figured out how to run it on Windows10.
| If you like this archive of sermons, you should try the freeware SID database at my website. It contains all the illustrations found in my sermons and tens of thousands more; it also includes tens of thousands of full-text sermons. A different version, but with the same illustrations and sermons, is called Kerux2010. |
| What to make
your own sermon archive? I recommend the
freeware HelpNDoc. You
can compile your sermons into a CHM file that operates much like the older
help files, with index and searching.
A huge benefit of
such a program is that keywords can be associated with each sermon and the
entire archive is searchable. An added plus is that it can produce an archive of HTML files that can be uploaded to the internet complete with an index tree, keywords and search engine; see my online Kerux2010 help page for an example of this. |
