We are guided by Dr. Haddon Robinson, our senior editor, who is author of the landmark text Biblical Preaching, and by Craig Brian Larson, a veteran preacher and pastor, and co-editor of The Art and Craft of Biblical Preaching.
We provide:
- 9,500+ illustrations and quotations
- sermon outlines and transcripts

- sermon series
- series builders
- discounted videos from FaithVisuals.com
- PowerPoint presentations
- images
- cartoons
- movie scene descriptions
- audio sermons
- audio workshops
- the largest online collection of articles about preaching, to help you improve your skills.
Our goal is to help you communicate the gospel in all its richness and power.
As a member, you can access all areas of the site (except that some of the video clips are sold separately). You also receive the weekly Preaching Connection e-mail newsletter.

What membership options do you have?
We offer two main membership options:
Yearly ($79.95)
Monthly ($9.95)
Both memberships offer you complete access to the site (except that some of the video clips are sold separately). Both memberships also give you our weekly e-mail newsletter, Preaching Connection.
With a Yearly membership, you get a free 30-day trial period; you are not charged for the service until after your free 30 days are over (and you may cancel any time during your 30 days). So it's like getting an extra month for free.
With both memberships, you will be automatically renewed at the end of your term. However, if you ever find it necessary to cancel your service, we will refund the unused portion of your subscription.
For other offers, please see our pricing page.

If I receive the Preaching Connection Newsletter am I a member?
Not necessarily, it is possible to sign up for the Preaching Connection newsletter, the e-newsletter of PreachingToday.com, without being a member of the site. The majority of the content found in the newsletter can only be accessed by our paying members. However there is always a free illustration and a new Preaching Skill article available for free for non-members and can be accessed for one week. When you receive the newsletter you can look for notification about what content can only be accessed by our members. If you need to ask a customer care representative whether you are a member or not you can click here for contact information or go here for pricing and sign-up information.
