Hi Diane,
yes, selecting the sermon and exporting the selection would be another way of
doing it - audacity often provides more than one way to do something, and
sometimes its not clear cut which is the easier,
David.

Couldn't he just select the sermon
and then save the selection?

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.
