WordPress Sermons Plugin

The Ephesians 4:14 blog has released a WordPress Sermons Plugin. It lets you upload and search for sermons from your church by preacher, service, tag, series, and more. You can embed video or audio of the sermon right in your post, and the plugin uses the ESV API to display the relevant passage while someone is listening to the sermon.

The sermon shows the title, Bible reference, author, date, series, service, previous and next sermons, and the text of the passage in the ESV. It also has a Flash mp3 player or embedded video player to let you hear or watch the sermon.

This plugin is a great idea and a great use of technology. If you use WordPress as the backend for your church’s website, you should definitely check it out. If we’d change anything, we’d probably make entering the sermon’s Bible passages less structured: provide a text box and let people enter the passage references freeform. Then use queryInfo to extract the relevant passages.
