Pastor Holwick's 1,000+ Sermon Archive
(actually, it's at 1,312 right now)
I have converted my old HLP archive to the new CHM version (which required 8 months of very tedious labor). It has the same look at the old version but has even more material. This archive contains over twenty years' worth of my preaching and I continue to add current sermons and some of my old hand-written ones. I think the search abilities are quite good. The file sets up automatically in the folder "C:\Kerux" (Kerux means "Preacher" in Greek). The setup routine will give you the option of putting an icon on your desktop. You can also launch it from the Start menu by clicking on the filename. It requires Windows to operate and is actually a help-file. The size is 11 megabytes.
You will notice some duplication of material and also changes in interpretation on some issues. Many of the series were preached in sequence which can be traced by following the year listed to the right of the sermon title. Bible studies are marked Bible study. In some cases the main Scripture is not the focus of the entire sermon and may refer to just a minor point.
The setup file is produced with Inno Setup Compiler by Jordan Russell. It is also freeware.
I have composed my sermons since 1988 using an old DOS outline program called PcOutline. It isn't broken so I don't fix it.
| If you like this archive of sermons, you should try the SID database at my website. It contains all the illustrations found in my sermons and tens of thousands more; it also includes tens of thousands of full-text sermons. It is freeware that can be downloaded here. A different version, but with the same illustrations and sermons, is called Kerux2010. |

What to make your own sermon archive? I
recommend the freeware HelpNDoc.
You can compile your sermons into a CHM file that operates much like the older
help files, with index and searching.
A huge benefit of such a program is that keywords can be
associated with each sermon and the entire archive is searchable. An added plus is that it can produce an archive of HTML files that can be uploaded to the internet complete with an index tree, keywords and search engine; see my online Kerux2010 help page for an example of this. |
