Three flexible options for publishing on your church website or server.
Ready to Download & Deploy Anywhere
One single standalone HTML file containing all logic, styling, vector branding, and automated YouTube feed sync. No backend or database required.
- Click the Download .HTML button in the generator footer.
- Rename the file to
index.html(orlet-the-bible-speak.html). - Upload it to your web server public directory (e.g.,
public_html/ltbs/). - Your congregation can now access the interactive kit at
https://yourchurchwebsite.org/ltbs/.
Upload the generator HTML file to your server (or GitHub Pages), then paste this standard responsive iframe into any page block:
<iframe src="https://yourchurchwebsite.org/ltbs-brett-hickey-generator.html" style="width:100%; min-height:850px; border:none; border-radius:16px;" allowfullscreen></iframe>
If you only want the video player and archive widget inside your existing church website layout (rather than hosting this full generator tool), click "Get Current + 4-Week Embed" in the generator. Copy that HTML snippet and paste it into a "Custom HTML" block on your sermon media page.
The Embed Code Studio Explained
Understanding automation modes, CSS inheritance, and configuration toggles.
Generates clean HTML paired with a lightweight client-side fetcher script. It queries YouTube every weekend and automatically updates your church website with the new sermon every Sunday morning.
- Zero Maintenance: Paste once into your CMS and forget it.
- Multi-Proxy Failover: Protects against single-proxy rate limits.
- Weekend Filtering: Guarantees midweek clips do not overwrite Sunday sermons.
Outputs completely standalone, hardcoded HTML for the exact episodes currently staged on screen, without including any external JavaScript fetcher scripts.
- High Security: Ideal for portals that disallow external JavaScript.
- Fixed Archive: Remains locked to the exact episodes chosen.
- Requires Manual Re-Copying: Re-copy each week if you want new videos.
Default Styling: "Match Site CSS" Theme
By default, the embed code uses font-family: inherit; color: inherit; background: transparent;. This ensures that when pasted into your church website, the embed automatically inherits your site's exact typography (e.g. Montserrat, Open Sans, Roboto), heading styles, and background tones without awkward style clashes.
Facebook Post Studio
One-click announcements formatted for church Facebook pages and groups.
Clean title leading, speaker, scripture references, and paragraph summary.
Formatted invitation encouraging believers to tune in this Lord's Day.
Centers on key passages alongside Romans 10:17 (“Faith cometh by hearing...”).
Compact 3-line format optimized for fast mobile scrolling.
The 1-Click Publishing Workflow:

Channel Syncing & Quality Filtering
How the sync engine protects your church page from unwanted videos.
YouTube channels frequently post clips, debate watch parties, and YouTube Shorts throughout the week. The generator and embed script implement strict dual-gate quality filters:
isWeekendRelease)
Enforces Saturday or Sunday publication timestamps across local and UTC time zones. Weekday uploads (Monday through Friday afternoon) are automatically ignored so they cannot dislodge Sunday sermons.
isSermonBroadcast)
Verifies the broadcast series title and 4-digit program numbering (e.g., 1576, 1577, 1578), filtering out watch parties, live chats, and short promotional teasers.
