It’s been a long year! Covid has brought new challenges and significant loss for all of us. In a joint effort to bless our churches, Worship Ministries and Pastor Church Resources have commissioned video sermons from denominational leaders as well as other pastors in the Christian Reformed Church.
While there are a variety of reasons to use pre-recorded video sermons (pulpit supply during vacation, vacancy, emergency, etc), we hope that your church would use one or more to give your pastor a Sunday off from preaching. We see this as a tangible way to care for your pastor, whose ministry has been extremely challenging over the last year.
A growing playlist of sermons are available on the Worship Ministries YouTube page. They are also listed below and we will continue to update this list as we gather and post more. May these be a blessing to your congregation and to our churches!

Hello! We may use some of these videos and I think it's a good idea to build a library. I wondered if there's any way you could include more information about each one to help as we try to find something pertinent. At the least, the title of the sermon in addition to the Scripture would be helpful. Even more helpful would be a brief description/summary of the content. Perhaps there could be topic tags. Besides helping people like me find something for use at my church, YouTube is huge and it might become useful to people and communities outside the CRC.
Thanks for this suggestion, Mavis! I am not sure we have titles for each of these sermons but I can include a few sentences about each so people have an idea of what each sermon is about. Thanks!
