You did the hard part already. It is just on the wrong domain.

Somebody searches a passage you preached, and lands somewhere that is not your church.

Your sermon on Daniel 7 is titled properly and tagged with the passage, which is exactly why it can be found. It is found at sermonaudio.com.

Whoever reads it never sees your service times, never sees who your pastor is, and never sees a reason to visit. They got the sermon and the platform got the visit.

That is not SermonAudio doing anything wrong. It is what happens when the only copy of your work lives at somebody else's address.

You want to know what your own church has taught on a subject.

You can search it, and you have to go to a third-party site to do it, and so does everyone in your congregation.

A search on your own site returns nothing, because there is nothing there to find. The years of careful labelling do not help you at home.

The platform changes something, or the price, or goes away.

Every church that has been publishing for a decade has already lived through one of these. A host is bought, a player changes, a plan gets retired, and a link that worked for years stops working.

We saw the sharpest version of this on a church whose archive was hosted by a big church-software vendor: a third of everything before 2018 had no audio left in the system they were paying to host it in. Nobody told them. Nobody would have.

Your own website is the only address you control. Everything else is a tenancy.

Your elders ask why the website has no sermons on it.

It has a link. Most church sites have a link, usually labelled Media, and it takes you off the site.

A page per message, on your address, with the recap and the passages and the transcript, is the answer to that question, and it does not mean leaving the platform you already use.
