Sermon Podcast

Grace Church is now providing sermon messages via podcast! A podcast is a regularly distributed audio or media file sent over the Internet through web feeds and downloaded to either a portable media device or a personal computer. Podcasting allows you to freely subscribe to a program and receive updated content automatically as it is added. By subscribing to our Sermon Audio podcast, as new sermons are made available, they are automatically downloaded to your device. You don’t have to have an iPod to subscribe to podcast, just a computer.

If you already have iTunes installed on your computer, simply click the image to the right. iTunes will open and you will be taken to our profile page where you can subscribe to our podcast. If you don’t have iTunes installed and/or unfamiliar with podcasting, simply follow the directions below.

Step One: Install iTunes

iTunes is most often used for music files, but it’s also designed to receive podcasts. You can download the latest version of iTunes by visiting Apple’s Web site.  iTunes is free and available for both Mac and PC.

Step Two: Subscribe

After you’ve downloaded iTunes, subscribe to our podcast. Click on the Grace Church Sermon Audio graphic above and iTunes will take you right to our podcast profile. You’ll see the same podcast preview image shown above and a listing of our most recent audio files. You can subscribe to the podcast by clicking the “subscribe” button.

If you are using a program other than iTunes for your podcast, you will need our audio feed listed below.

Step Three: Download

As soon as you’ve successfully subscribed, the latest message will automatically begin downloading and you will see the recent messages listed below (but grayed out). Depending on the sermon length, some files may take longer than others to download. After it’s complete, you may begin listening to the message.

If you would like to download previous messages, simply click on the “Get Episode” button next to the message you wish to download.

Step Four: Sync Podcasts to your iPod

To sync podcasts from your iTunes to your iPod, first make sure you have the latest iPod software installed on the iPod. Plug your iPod into your computer and wait for iTunes to open. When iTunes has opened, you should see your iPod listed under “Devices”. Click on you iPod, and you will see the landing page on the right. In the middle of your screen it will tell you if your iPod software is up to date. To check for an update, click on the “Check for Update” button.

After you have updated your iPod, make sure it is plugged in and listed in iTunes under Devices. If iTunes does not automatically sync the podcasts, click on the Podcasts tab from the landing page of your iPod. Within the Podcast preference window, you may choose to have only certain podcasts synced or select how often they are synced.
