A word on internet sermons:

1) Not all websites that purport to be "Christian" are biblical

The few sermons which I have heard from the above sources are good , though I haven't listened to every sermon from them & can't vouch for every one.
Not all sermons posted on other websites are completely biblical. Some are downright wrong while others mix truth with some falsehoods. The latter type is more dangerous because it is not so obvious.

2) Internet cannot be a substitute for the Church

Question: One of my family members and I attend church on the Internet. Is this all right, or must we join a local church?

A: There are many Biblical exhortations that we cannot fulfill by "attending church on the Internet".

The worship service of the New Testament church consisted of praying, singing, preaching, taking the Lord's Supper, fellowship and giving. We can read passages in Acts 20, 1 Corinthians 16, and 1 Corinthians 11 that talk about these acts of worship.

Not sure what kind of Internet setup you have, but if you have audio and video, you might say that you fulfill praying, singing, and preaching. With online donation portals readily available, you might even say we am able to give tithes and offerings. As for the Lord's supper, maybe we could purchase the elements from the nearest supermarket and partake it with sincerity of heart. But how do we "fellowship" with the rest of the brothers and sisters in the church? Are we able to exercise your spiritual gifts and "give" in order to bless the rest of the Body? (Hebrews 10:25, 1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11)

One can still be a Christian by not joining a church. However, the choice is between something that is good, something that is better, and something that is best.

It is not possible to "attend church" over the internet and fulfil the best plan that God has.

The church is not a building. Attending church is not a ritual.
The church is a community of people.

When we read through Acts, we see that everywhere Paul went, he joined himself to a church. He did that to encourage those who are weak, visit the sick, communicate Christ among others. It is not possible for one to fulfill God's best only over the Internet.

God instituted the church community of believers
for us to bring our unique giftings & personalities to bless and encourage one another.

However, when a church member cannot join a church for a period of time (e.g. if the member is immobile / overseas / stuck somewhere / sick), the internet can be a useful tool =)
