Sermon Manager WordPress Plugin
Sermon Manager is designed to help churches easily publish sermons online. You can add speakers, sermon series, Bible references etc.
Sermons can have .mp3 files, as well as pdf, doc, ppt, etc. added to them. Video embeds from sites like Vimeo are also possible.
Images can be attached to any sermon, sermon series, speaker, or sermon topic. There are many filters available for displaying the images in your theme.
It will work with any theme, but themes can be customized to display content as you like. You'll find the template files in the /views folder. You can copy these into the root of your theme folder and customize to suit your site's design. If you need assistance, just post on the forums at WP for Church.
Super flexible shortcode for displaying sermons in page content. (improved pagination in 1.9)
