SermonSearch vs Pew

SermonSearch is a free, ad-free way to sit with the preached Word. It gathers sermons from Trinity Christian Fellowship in Lexington, Kentucky, shared with permission, and carries hundreds of sermons that open the Scriptures to your iPhone and iPad so you can hear the Word wherever you are. Offered freely by For His Glory, LLC. READ ALONG WITH THE WORD Every sermon carries a full transcript that scrolls in step with the audio, gently highlighting each line as it is spoken. Tap any paragraph to return to that moment in the sermon, or search within the transcript to jump straight to a phrase you remember. It is the closest thing to sitting with the text open in front of you as the Word is preached. SEARCH THE WHOLE ARCHIVE Looking for a particular passage, theme, or phrase? Search across titles, speakers, series, topics, and the full text of every transcript, then begin listening from the exact moment a phrase was spoken. Browse by Scripture reference, speaker, series, or topic to find the sermon you have in mind. KEEP WHAT STAYS WITH YOU Highlight the lines that speak to you, add a note, and return to them later. Share a highlight as a simple quote card, or share a moment from a sermon with a friend so they can listen from that very spot. LISTEN ANYWHERE A quiet, focused player with background playback, lock screen and Control Center controls, AirPlay, and adjustable speed. Sermons in a series play through in order, and you can pick up right where you left off. SAVE SERMONS OFFLINE Save sermons offline to carry with you on a flight, a commute, or anywhere a connection is hard to find. If you choose, the newest sermon can be saved automatically over Wi-Fi, ready when you are. A simple storage manager keeps you in control of space. NEW SERMONS, QUIETLY If you would like, SermonSearch can let you know when a new sermon is posted. No reminders, no nudges, just the new ones. MADE FOR iPad A native two-pane reader lets you browse on one side while you read and listen on the other, with keyboard and pointer support throughout. YOUR LIBRARY, KEPT PRIVATELY Mark the sermons that feed you as favorites, keep a quiet history of what you have heard, and continue where you left off. Your favorites and listening history can sync across your own Apple devices through your private iCloud, so what you save on one device is there on the next. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account and no sign-in. SermonSearch collects no personal information, and there are no ads. Your favorites and history sync only through your own private iCloud; they are never seen, received, or stored by us. What is between you and the Word stays with you. BILINGUAL Available in English and Spanish. Change languages anytime in Settings. SermonSearch is a labor of love, made and offered freely, that more might hear the Word and read along with it. To God be the glory. SermonSearch is an independent app by For His Glory, LLC, sharing TCF's sermons with permission. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Trinity Christian Fellowship.

Record the sermon. Read it later. Put the phone face down on the pew and lock the screen. It keeps recording. When you get home there's the audio, a transcript you can search, and somewhere to write down what you actually thought about it. A WHOLE SERVICE An hour. Two hours. Screen off, in a pocket, at the bottom of a bag. The recording doesn't care. TRANSCRIPTS, WITHOUT THE UPLOAD Speech becomes text on the phone itself, in 11 languages. The audio never gets uploaded anywhere, including to us. SCRIPTURE When someone quotes a verse, Pew catches the reference and shows you the passage. Public domain translations for 21 languages are already on the device, so this works with no signal at all. A few translations are still under copyright and we can't include them; those open in bible.com instead. NOTES Yours go right next to the transcript, not in some other app you have to remember to open. SEARCH Everything you've ever recorded. By word, by who was preaching, by church. AI NOTES, IF YOU WANT THEM A summary, an outline, and the lines worth keeping. This is the only part that sends anything off your phone, and what it sends is the transcript text. Not the audio. It stays off until you turn it on, and you get told exactly what happens before you agree to it. Three of these are free. After that it's part of the subscription. FOR PASTORS A second mode for planning ahead: series, passages, and the notes that go with them. WHAT ISN'T IN HERE No account, nothing to sign up for, no ads, nobody else's trackers. We do count which screens get used, with no name on it. That switch is in Settings. The interface is in 35 languages and follows whatever your phone is set to. You can also just pick one in Settings.
