Serving Those Who Preach and Teach to Change Lives
Tony Merida is lead pastor Imago Dei Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. He earned a Ph.D. in preaching from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and serves as associate professor of preaching at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is also one of the editors of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary volumes (on sale now), showing readers how to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture.
We talked with Tony about his Bible study tips, sermon prep, and more.
Dr. Adrian Rogers is one of the most beloved pastors and preachers of all time. He was known for his bold preaching, humor, and inspiring challenges to the Christian.
Wordsearch has partnered with Rogers’ foundation, the Pastor Training Institute, to bring you the Adrian Rogers Legacy Collection.
In this library, you’ll get over 1,300 sermons from Rogers – these are full transcripts, word-for-word and straight from the pulpit. In Wordsearch, these sermons are easily searchable. For example, if you want to search the phrase “grace of God,” you can open Search, type in the phrase, filter to only the Adrian Rogers Legacy Collection, and click search.
At Wordsearch Bible, our mission has always been to equip and serve preachers and teachers for a lifetime of ministry. The brand new Perks program is our way of thanking our loyal users with more benefits than we have ever offered before.

In honor of our new release of three new Treasures from the Scriptures volumes this is a re-post of a previously posted guest blog from author Rod Mattoon.
Let me say up front that I use Wordsearch almost every single day because I study every day. There are two main features that help me immensely.
1. The Topics button
A. Subject Research
This tool enables me to do in-depth studies on any particular subject I want to research. For example, if I am preaching through the book of Job and want to find material on “trials.” By finding verses and information about “trials,” I can then form an outline on this particular subject or incorporate the principles into my message.
Welcome to our Tips & Tricks series! This series is meant to help you get the most out of using Wordsearch. Hopefully you’ll find out something new with each tip and be on your way to deeper Bible study. This week’s tip is about the topical carousel.
In a previous tip we talked about the Bible and commentary carousels and how they could be used to give you easy access to your Bible translations and commentary books.
The Wordsearch program also offers one more carousel, which gives you easier access to your topical books.
The topical carousel is great for making you more efficient in Wordsearch as it peruses each of the books in your carousel and only shows you the books that have relevant information on the topic you are studying.
