I used this for my client, and I must say this is very user friendly Sermon extension with details useful help. This Joomla extension also comes up with very nice user interface. It's quite good with sermon uploading from frontend. I refer adding sermon file uploading from backend in future release, it will make this one #1 in religion category. Keep up the good work.

This is by far the easiest sermon archives database to use with the backend, and has the nicest look on the frontend.

I have hundreds of videos and this makes it so easy! I made the right choice picking Sermon Speaker 3.

I will have to change my template for the church to use sermon speaker 4 but its worth it, the support is awesome and they are fast to respond.

An excellent extension with outstanding support from the developer via the forum... patience, efficiency and prompt responses solved a couple of niggling problems.
I have had nothing but praise from the congregation, most of which is due to the author of this extension.

This is highly recommended for any Joomla-based church site. It generates good RSS feeds. Support via the forum is excellent. This is a very useful contribution.

This is a very good component if you're wanting to publish sermons - probably good for other types of audio too - not just for churches.

The developer is very responsive, and integrate Jcomments after I requested it! :-)

There are still more features that can be added - so it can get even better :-)

Thank you very much to the developer(s) that put their time in to this component.

This was a big help for me.
I missed a frontend uploader that makes it easy for other users to submitt from meetings. But without that it was perfect. Thank you so much for a great job :-)

Fairly new to Joomla, I found SermonSpeaker to be very workable. Although I've had a few challenges, the forum has been extremely helpful, especially the upgrades. Definitely a recommend. Thank you!

We've been using this for about 6+ months now and it works great. Upgrade went flawlessly as well. Highly recommend this component.

Great plugin, but I do agree from the previous person that a frontend mp3 uploader would be very useful.
Although the user would need some special access rights for uploading, otherwise they can still get in to the backend.

Thanks

Excellent addon for Joomla but one thing it could do with is a progress bar for when the sermon files are being uploaded. Good work guys :)

Nice and clean opportunity to manage sermons for our church. I like the fast way of adding and displaying sermons.
Compared with the complex Bible Study, it lacks some features:
- ALC (make particular sermons online avaible for members)
- layout options
- real scripture reference (with dropdown-lists of all books and chapters of the bible)
- Frontend upload for others to upload our sermons (sometimes I´m not there and someone else deals with the mp3s...)
- German translation

In return, it is much more easy to use than BibleStudy.

I am using both versions on a number of church websites and they love it. The component is easy to use, organizes sermons very well, and playback works flawlessly.

Keep up the great work.

We are using the 3.1 version of the component, latest sermons module, sermon archive module and sermoncast module. They all work great.

We put the component into an article page using jwrapperbot - so the sermons are shown seamlessly along with other page content, without needing to click on a different menu to see the nice audio sermon content displayed by the component.

Thanks for this terrific extension!

This is a great component and easy to use too. Good flexibility and provides for nearly all of our needs.
Having the ability to determine which columns show on the frontend needs to be more in the control of the admin instead of a template.
