Links to Other Good Sermons:

At First (Scots), we generously acknowledge that good sermons are occasionally preached outside our own sanctuary!

Affiliated for many years with the PCUSA, the Protestant Hour is an ecumenical organization broadcasting sermons by well-known American preachers.  It has a rich website that allows visitors both to hear and to read recent sermons and to access hundreds more in its archives.

Like the Protestant Hour, the ecumenical Chicago Sunday Evening Club has for decades broadcast sermons by well-known American preachers representing a wide spectrum of denominations and faith traditions. It maintains an online catalog of hundreds of these sermons.  Some are sold through special order, but many may be downloaded free.
