This is the part where most blogs fail. At first it is new and exciting but after awhile it becomes a chore and people start to neglect the blog. I do think that there is so much potential not only for encouraging your own church members but to also use the blog to reach out to a hungry world and let them know about Jesus as well. Good luck with your new blog. The idea and concept is great but, as with all things in life, it does need to be consistently maintained with the weekly sermons going out at a regular time.

Here are a few other examples: <a href="http://www.cbcjoy.org/wordpress/">http://www.cbcjoy.org/wordpress/</a> <a href="http://sermons.wattswhat.net/">http://sermons.wattswhat.net/</a> <a href="http://catholicchampion.blogspot.com/">http://catholicchampion.blogspot.com/</a> Hi Steve,

We used to do it at my church – http://cypressmeadows.org/sermons/ – until we changed the way we organize our sermon media.

He sent me the following message recently: "In my mind the website will be pretty simple. It will have sermons with additional resources to pair up with the sermons. In addition, it will have articles and studies with a devotional/Bible study intent. That is at least a start. I'm very open to any other thoughts you might have." Do you know of any websites that are doing what you described or are similar to what my Pastor wants to do? He's asking me to help him with something I am not great at but I'd like to learn more about. Any help you can provide would be wonderful. Even a link to a few examples would be wonderful.

Resources, videos and pictures will help you blog post more attractive to your reader. Sometimes we need to be more proactive to inform our religious readers about the update.

Resources, additional scripture and a reading list would be great. However, this is a lot of work for the busy pastor. Perhaps just a few paragraphs of additional thoughts and comments would be good.

I've always thought it to be a great idea but I let distractions get into my way. I've decided that perhaps this method can truly be one of many evangelism ideas to reach out to people and share more of what the Holy Spirit shared with you. That idea that hit you was the Holy Spirit getting your attention. Paul I think you're on to something. I've always thought it to be a great idea but I let distractions get into my way.

These blogs or websites should give an invitation to all who visit the site to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Of course, it would be great also to have material to help the saints grow in the Lord. I think it is important that every Christian Church develops a blog or website.
