The Vault VLOG

One day, out of curiosity, I went looking for the oldest sermon by Dr. Bob Jones Sr. on SermonAudio. I came across a message he preached in chapel shortly after the University moved to its present campus in Greenville, SC. I was very blessed to listen to it. I always knew the story of why and how BJU started, but I never got to hear the burden of the founder like I did in that sermon.  In celebration of Bob Jones University's 100th anniversary, I thought it would be good to create a little 2-minute trailer of sorts for that sermon using excerpts from the actual sermon by Dr. Bob Jones Sr. Disclaimer, yes, it's AI, but that's his voice. I hope you will enjoy the full sermon, available here: Why We Founded BJU: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/212241526538151

Global Sermons can help you take any sermon and produce multiple audio-language versions of that same sermon, accurately and easily. However, we have introduced a new option that, we trust, can make the process even easier for the church. It's called AutoGlobalize, and it automates the process of globalizing sermons. AutoGlobalize automatically handles the entire process from beginning to end: transcription, the Smart Edit step, translation, and audio generation.

Up until recently, people searched for answers—typing keywords, scanning a page of blue links, then sorting through disparate sites to find their answers. But that behavior is changing. In this new era of AI, people are increasingly simply asking questions in everyday language and expecting clear, authoritative answers. Introducing Ask! by SermonAudio. Ask! allows users to ask questions in natural language and receive answers grounded in the sermons available on SermonAudio. Every response includes complete citations to the source sermons, along with the ability to listen directly to the exact sermon excerpts from which the answer was derived.

The F5 is arguably the single most critically essential piece of equipment in The Vault. It's the firewall, the gateway, the traffic controller for the entire infrastructure. And it failed us. The ironic thing is that less than 24 hours ago, I mentioned in a meeting how pleased I was that the F5 hardware specifically had never failed us even once. This is the tale of a failed F5 and the important lesson learned. The Lord continues to teach us that without Him we can do absolutely nothing.

The Vault has become something that rallies God's people together around a cause greater than any single church or denomination. The preservation and propagation of preaching is kingdom work, and we are united in that great work. This is the followup video of The Vault UK that was recently established and opened officially at the LTBS Centre in Ahoghill, Northern Ireland. The foundation has been laid and what remains is to fill the racks with the servers and storage arrays necessary for it to be a true full replica of The Vault HQ in Greenville SC. Placing a full Vault replica in the UK together with a trusted partner like LTBS is a key part of ensuring that the preaching preserved on SermonAudio remains protected, accessible, and resilient well into the future.

Another Vault site will soon be established in the United Kingdom at the LTBS Centre in Ahoghill, Northern Ireland. This will become our 4th Vault site, but this site in particular will play a critical role in the overall Vault Network as the only full replica of our primary Vault HQ. Placing a full Vault replica in the UK together with a trusted partner like LTBS is a key part of ensuring that the preaching preserved on SermonAudio remains protected, accessible, and resilient well into the future.

I don't often do videos like this, but today I need to speak personally. We are requesting prayer. My wife and I have six children. Three of them have congenital heart defects and we are now facing a possible heart transplant far sooner than any of us expected. We are asking for prayer. Prayer that our family would be upheld by God's grace. Prayer that both Martin and Morgan would have strength. Prayer that the Lord will give wisdom to doctors. And prayer that if it be His will, that the Lord would delay a transplant. And if not, that the Lord would be very close to us every step of the way as He has in the past.

What is the motivation behind the Foundations Tour of Scotland? It was born out of a friendship, but designed to be a blessing. Learn how Scotland, a land that has already given the world so much through faithful preaching, is being used once again to bless the nations. If you were to visit Scotland only once, and if you have enjoyed the ministry of SermonAudio, I would personally like to invite you to join us on the Foundations Tour of Scotland.

Discover the remarkable journey of how SermonAudio began with a young boy in the 1980s who fell asleep each night listening to cassette tapes of preaching—a simple beginning that would, by God's providence, grow into a global platform reaching millions. This film captures the vision, challenges, and moments of faith that shaped the mission: the preservation and propagation of preaching. Along the way came many trials and turning points, closed doors that became new directions, cyberattacks that threatened to undo the work, and seasons of deep discouragement met by unmistakable provision. From unexpected gifts that made The Vault possible to the surprising arrival of advanced hardware and expertise at just the right time, the story is filled with evidence of divine help at every step. This is not the story of a website but of a work far greater. The story is a testimony to the faithfulness of God who has ensured that the voice of preaching will not be silenced, and that its witness will reach the nations until the end of the age.

We have officially launched Global Sermons with 46 languages—an entirely new service for our broadcasters on SermonAudio that facilitates translating sermons from any language into any other language using the latest in Artificial Intelligence technology. In this video, we take a very high-level overview of how Global Sermons works and the kind of safeguards we have implemented to achieve the highest levels of quality control in translation. The real beauty of Global Sermons is that translations can go from any language to any language. So that a sermon preached in Spanish could be enjoyed by a man in China, or a sermon preached in Telugu could be enjoyed by a man in France. It's an incredible time to be alive.
