Usage

Creating a Sermon

1. Navigate to /login and sign in with admin credentials
2. You'll be redirected to /admin
3. Fill in the sermon details:
   • Date: Select the sermon date (URL will be auto-generated as sermon-MMDDYYYY)
   • Title: Enter the sermon title
   • Bible References: Add one or more Bible verses (use +/- buttons)
   • Personal Appliance: Enter personal application content
   • Pastor's Challenge: Enter the pastor's challenge content

• Individual Sermon (/sermon-MMDDYYYY): Full sermon details with QR code
• QR Code: Click the QR code button on any sermon card or page to generate a scannable code

Database

The application uses SQLite with the following schema:

Sermons Table

• id: Primary key
• slug: Unique sermon identifier (e.g., sermon-09282025)
• title: Sermon title
• date: Sermon date
• bible_references: Newline-separated Bible verses
• personal_appliance: Personal application content
• pastors_challenge: Pastor's challenge content
• created_at: Timestamp

Users Table

• id: Primary key
• username: User's username
• password: User's password (plain text - should be hashed in production)

Security Notes

⚠️ For Production Use:

1. Change the default admin credentials
2. Implement proper password hashing (bcrypt, argon2, etc.)
3. Use a strong AUTH_SECRET in environment variables
4. Enable HTTPS
5. Consider implementing rate limiting
6. Add CSRF protection
