Hi William,
welcome to the list.
If you want save just the sermon, one way of doing this is to delete the stuff
before, and then delete the stuff afterwards To delete some audio, you have to
select it, and then press the delete key.
To select some audio, you have to select the track or tracks containing the
audio, and then select a time range - for example from the beginning to the
start of the sermon.
If you open a file in audacity, then the track is automatically selected. If
you need to select a track, space bar toggles its selectedness.
The general scheme for selecting a time range is to position the cursor at
either that start or end of the time range you want to select, and then set the
other end of the selected time range. There are a number of methods for doing
each of these two parts.
To delete the audio before the sermon, you could move the cursor to the start
of the sermon, press shift+home to select a time range from the cursor to the
beginning of the audio, and then press delete.
One way of moving the cursor to the start of the sermon, is to press spacebar
to start playback, and then press shift+A just before the sermon starts.
shift+A stops the playback and moves the cursor to that position. This is in
contrast to spacebar, which stops the playback, but leaves the cursor position
unchanged.
Having to listen through all the audio would be tedious. Fortunately you can
seek back and forwards during playback using left arrow and right arrow
respectively, and you and seek in larger jumps using shift+left arrow and
shift+right arrow. (you can set these short and long periods that you can seek
by on the playback category of the preferences dialog, which you can open on
the edit menu.).
To delete the audio after the sermon, move the cursor to the end of the sermon,
press shift+end to select a time range from the end of the sermon to the end of
the audio, and press delete.
There's a guide to audacity for jaws users which is available here:

Nearly all of it is also applicable to users of NVDA and Window-Eyes.
David.
