We began recording our sermons in July of 1983. Since that time, we have had six located preachers. We have also had a very large number of visiting preachers from all over the country. We add new sermons every week. Those sermons are available here on our website. Just click the Sermons tab. But we have also uploaded many of those sermons to a separate server that plays them in random order as an internet streaming radio station. That station plays our sermons all day, every day.

New Hosting Service and New App

Because of problems with our previous hosting service, we have moved our internet streaming radio station to a new hosting service. It has a web browser public player page that looks the same as our previous service. It has the following features:

1. Default Album Art
2. The Title of the Sermon
3. The Name of the Preacher
4. A Progress Bar showing how much of the sermon has played and how much is left
5. The Play/Pause Button
6. A Volume Slider
7. A Song History Button to show the last five sermons that have played
8. You can ignore the Playlist button

At times, it may take up to a minute to change this information for a new sermon, but it does change every time. To access the new radio player page, click this link: Knollwood Gospel Truth Lessons.

Multi-Stream App

I found an app in the Google Play Store/Apple App Store that plays our internet streaming radio station and shows the preacher name and sermon title. It is named "TA Stream Player". When you have downloaded the app, press the three dots in the upper-right corner. In the drop-down menu, tap on "New stream". For Stream name, enter "Knollwood Gospel Truth Lessons". For the URL address, enter "https://az11.yesstreaming.net:8350/radio.mp3". This app allows you to enter several of your favorite radio streams.

Alternate Player Not Yet Fully Working

I also developed a custom WordPress web page to play our internet streaming radio station. To try that Radio Player, click this link: radio.knollwoodchurch.org. In the beginning, I found a Radio Player Plug-In that showed all the information about the sermon. But then it stopped working. I have been trying different Radio Player Plug-Ins, so the looks may change from time to time. The current player has a buffer, so you can pause the sermon and pick up where you left off as long as it is less than five minutes. This WordPress player page also has links back to our webpage and to our social media platforms. All the Plug-In versions that I have tried no longer show the name of the preacher and the title of the sermon, so that is a problem.

Save to Phone or Tablet

You can follow the instructions below to save our server's public web page as an app or shortcut onto your phone or tablet. Your instructions may vary depending on the brand and model of your phone. When it is loaded,the icon will have two musical notes over a blue hexagon shape. If you have a previous version on your phone, you may want to delete it before loading the new version.

Android Phone/Tablet

For an Android device:

1. Open the Chrome web browser
2. In the address bar, type knollwoodchurch.org
3. Tap on the Streaming tab to open this page
4. Tap on this link: Knollwood Gospel Truth Lessons
5. Once the radio player page has loaded, tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of the screen
6. Scroll down in the popup menu and tap on "Add to Home page"
7. A box pops up giving you the choice to Install this as an app, or to add a Shortcut that opens in Chrome
   • If you add it as an app, it will have the name Knollwood Gospel Truth Lessons and you will need to manually place it on your home screen
   • If you save it as a Chrome shortcut, it gives you a box where you can change the name and then it automatically places it in the next available slot on your home screen after you tap the Add button

Any time that you want to listen to the radio station, you can just tap on that icon.

The same process works for Firefox for Android. There is a similar process for Opera for Android. The dropdown menu has a selection for "Add to ..." Tap there and then tap "Home screen". I have not tried other browsers.

iPhone/iPad

For an Apple phone/tablet:

Open the Chrome web browser

In the address bar, type knollwoodchurch.org

Tap on the Streaming tab to open this page

Tap on this link: Knollwood Gospel Truth Lessons

Once the radio player page has loaded, tap the middle icon in the bottom menu bar [it looks like a box with an arrow pointing up]

Scroll down in the popup menu and tap on "Add to Home Screen"

If you don't see "Add to Home Screen", scroll to the bottom and tap "Edit Actions". Then tap "+Add to Home Screen."

Final Comments

On any device, you should click the Pause button on the Radio Player before you close out the page so that the radio station stops playing.

The custom app that you could get from your Google or Apple Play Store no longer works and we are deleting it. Please use the public page which is described above.

The prior web service that hosted our radio station will continue for a short time to give people a chance to make the change. It had problems showing the wrong information or no information at all. I could not get the help desk to fix the problem. And that was the reason that we decided to change.

I hope you enjoy listening to these sermons. If you want to hear a sermon again, you can come back to our website and use your browser's search function to find the sermon.
