A free component for publishing sermons on a church website: audio, video and notes per entry, a podcast feed with iTunes tags, a choice of players and frontend editing.
SermonSpeaker is a component by Thomas Hunziker for churches that publish their sermons online. Its admin screens follow the pattern of regular Joomla articles, so administrators do not need to learn a new workflow: sermons are added, published and displayed much like familiar content items.
Features
- Up to three files per sermon: audio, video and downloadable notes.
- Various file types plus YouTube and Vimeo videos, depending on the chosen player.
- Players come as plugins, for example MediaElement.js or JW Player, and a suitable one is picked automatically by file type.
- An automatic podcast in the form of an RSS feed with iTunes tags.
- Sermons can be uploaded and edited from the frontend.
- Several bundled layouts per view, with template override support.
- Joomla tags, custom fields and language associations.
- File storage on external servers and Amazon S3; works with Scripture Links, Biblelink XT, JComments and Xmap.
Compatibility
- Joomla 3, 4, 5 and 6.
- Current version 7.0.3, last updated in JED on 8 June 2026.
- Extra modules and plugins are available for it.
