Best Sermon Apps (2026)

SermonAudio is the widest sermon library you can carry. The official count is over 3 million free sermons from thousands of conservative churches and ministries. You can browse by speaker, series, topic, language, or Bible passage, and many churches stream their services live inside the app.

The Sermons app (version 3.2) covers the listening basics. You can download audio or video, change playback speed, sync your play history, and download auto-generated transcripts. A Church Finder map shows broadcasters near you, which helps if you are looking for a church and not only a sermon.

The lens is conservative Protestant only. Reformed, Presbyterian, and Baptist pulpits are common. You will not find Catholic, Orthodox, or mainline churches. Store ratings are mixed (4.1 on iPhone, 3.4 on Android), and some reviews describe sermons restarting mid-play. Apple's listing says it contains ads while Google Play says it does not, so check for yourself.

Grace to You is the teaching archive of John MacArthur, pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, from 1969 until his death in July 2025. The ministry says he left more than 3,600 sermons, and the app puts that library in one free place.

You can search by passage or topic, download a whole series, change speed, and read transcripts. Grace Stream plays verse-by-verse teaching around the clock when you do not want to choose. There are no ads or in-app purchases.

It is one voice. MacArthur taught a Calvinist view of salvation, dispensational end times, and cessationism (the belief that gifts like tongues ended with the apostles), so charismatic listeners will hit sharp disagreement. The iPhone app sits at 3.4 stars, and reviewers say following a transcript while you listen is awkward.

In Touch carries the teaching of Charles Stanley, a former Southern Baptist Convention president and longtime pastor of First Baptist Atlanta. He died in April 2023. The ministry still airs his sermons on TV and radio.

The app pairs sermons with a daily habit. You get TV and radio broadcasts, daily devotions, a Bible in a Year plan, guided prayer, speed control, and Charles Stanley Radio playing his messages 24 hours a day. It works in English and Spanish, and both stores rate it 4.6.

The lens is Baptist and evangelical, and the tone is pastoral more than technical. It is one voice. We could not confirm sermon downloads or search by passage from the listings, so test both. If you want long book-by-book studies, Grace to You goes further.

RefNet is the 24-hour internet radio station of Ligonier Ministries. The schedule mixes preaching from R.C. Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, John MacArthur, and others with Bible readings, audio drama, audiobooks, and background music.

It is the simplest app here. Press play and teaching starts. Time travel lets you go back to shows that already aired, and you also get bookmarks, program reminders, a sleep timer, and lock screen controls. It holds 4.9 stars on both stores across thousands of reviews.

It is radio, not a library. You cannot pick any sermon you like, and the listing shows no offline downloads. The lens is Reformed, though Ligonier says each show reflects its own speaker. Apple lists advertising in the app while Google Play lists none.

The Gospel Coalition app is a reading and listening hub more than a sermon player. It collects articles, podcasts, and video from teachers like Tim Keller, Jen Wilkin, David Platt, Kevin DeYoung, and Jackie Hill Perry.

You can download media for offline use, switch between audio and video, and take notes that sync. It carries more voices, including women Bible teachers, than any single-ministry app here. TGC's website has a sermons archive, but we could not confirm that the whole archive is inside the app.

The lens is Reformed evangelical and complementarian, with Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, and independent pastors in the network. It is the weakest app to use. It has 3.8 stars on iPhone from 48 ratings, reviewers mention a broken back button and limited search, and the Android version was last updated in May 2024.
