Your sermons are still preaching.
Know what's in them before anyone else goes looking.
Every sermon on your YouTube channel is still public, and may be read against today's law, not just the law when you preached it. Sermon Safe checks them all and shows you exactly where to look, so you can deal with anything on your own terms.

Why now
You preached it once. YouTube publishes it every day.
When you preach, you speak once. When you post, you publish, and on YouTube that publication carries on for as long as the video is up.
The law changed
Victoria's new anti-vilification laws began in 2025 and 2026. They now cover sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, sex characteristics and disability, not just race and religion.
Old videos may count
Public conduct includes “distribution or dissemination” (s 102C), and can happen “over a period of time” (s 102D). So a sermon preached before the new law may be measured against it while it stays public.
Nobody has tested it yet
No court or tribunal has ruled on this. That's exactly why it's worth knowing where you stand, while what to do about it is still your choice.
Better to find it yourself than to hear about it in a complaint.
If something does need attention, you decide what to do: trim the passage, make the video unlisted, or ask your lawyer. Every decision is kept in a private record you can print for your lawyer or your board.
Most sermons are fine, and we'll show you why
Teaching what Scripture says, reasonably and in good faith, for a genuine religious purpose is expressly protected under Victoria's civil law (s 102G). For every passage we point out, we show what's in your favour as well as what to consider.

Questions
What pastors ask us
Does a flag mean our church has broken the law?
No. A flag means a passage may be worth a second look. Many flagged passages turn out to be fine, often because they're an accurate statement of Christian teaching. Your lawyer can advise on anything you're unsure about.
Why check old sermons? They were fine when we preached them.
They may well have been. But a video that's still public may be measured against today's law too, and today's law covers more than the old one did. We check both, so you know where you stand now.
Will you report anything to anyone?
No. Your results are private to your church. We never share them with anyone.
Do you change anything on our channel?
No. We can only read it. If you decide a passage needs changing, you do that yourself in YouTube Studio: trim it, make the video unlisted, or take it down.
Which laws do you check against?
Victorian and Commonwealth law today: anti-vilification, hate-crime and conversion-practices laws, both as they were when you preached and as they are now. Other states are coming.
Is this legal advice?
No. Sermon Safe helps you and your lawyer find the passages worth reviewing, explained in plain English. Decisions stay with you.
Find out where you stand.
Your first 10 sermons are free, and it takes about a minute to start. If they're clear, you'll know it. If something needs a look, you'll know exactly where.
