Users subscribe to podcasts using "podcatching" software (also called "aggregator" software) which periodically checks for and downloads new content. It can then sync the content to the user's portable music player, hence the portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting". Podcasting does not require an iPod; any digital audio player or computer with the appropriate software can play podcasts. (from Wikipedia.com)

What is the difference between downloading a sermon and using Podcasting?
Podcasting allows you to automatically sync your iPod with the sermons that we have online. Using the podcatching software with iTunes, you can immediately download and sync your iPod with the sermons.
