The UNY Sermon Bank

The UNY Sermon Bank is available at https://www.unyumc.org/resources/uny-sermon-bank.

This webpage hosts ready to use video sermons from

Upper New York, like “What Is Your Attitude?” with

Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez.

The UNY Sermon Bank is a collection of sermons crafted to renew, restore, and inspire through the art of preaching.

These sermon videos are intended to support congregations and preachers when their pastor is on vacation, sabbatical, on circuit, sick, or on leave. Each sermon is designed to stand alone and can be seamlessly incorporated into your church’s existing worship life.

Churches can download each sermon from Vimeo to play on their preferred equipment or watch the sermon directly online.

The UNY Sermon Bank is a resource provided by UNY’s Compelling Preaching Initiative.
