UNY Sermon Bank
Welcome to the United Methodists of Upper New York Sermon Bank, a collection of sermons crafted to renew, restore, and inspire through the art of preaching.
These sermon videos are intended to support congregations and preachers when their pastor is on vacation, sabbatical, on circuit, sick, or on leave. We understand the importance of continuity in worship and hope that these resources will be a valuable tool for your community of faith during these times. Each sermon is designed to stand alone and can be seamlessly incorporated into your church’s existing worship life.
You can easily download each sermon from Vimeo to play on your preferred equipment or watch the sermon directly online on Vimeo via the links provided below.
Currently, these sermons are from UNY’s monthly “Together in Worship” services hosted at our Conference Center and streamed live on Facebook once a month 9 a.m. The UNY Sermon Bank is a resource provided by UNY’s Compelling Preaching Initiative.
