There is only one video field, either for a local file or service like YouTube.
What I would do is provide the YouTube URL then add a link/button to the top of the content that points to the URL for your downloadable file.
If you’re using a theme from http://churchthemes.com or one that uses the Church Theme Framework, you can pipe the file through a script that forces “Save As” by using a URL like this:
yourname.com/?download=/2014/08/video.mp4
This assumes you’re hosting files locally. Since you have so many sermons you might want to use something like Amazon S3 to host the files. It’s possible to force “Save As” on S3 by sending certain headers.
You could also add the themename-button
class the the <a>
tag in order to make the link look like a button.
For something more structured you could use a child theme or extend the Church Theme Content plugin.

I hope this is helpful.
Steven,
I like the idea of posting download link in the content.
Im a newbie, but might try to make the download link look like a button, which I think looks better as it would stand out.
Thanks for the response
If you’re using the Exodus or Resurrect theme, do something like this in “Text” mode (instead of “Visual” — see the tabs at the top-right of the editor):
<a href="http://yourname.com/?download=/2014/08/video.mp4" class="exodus-button">Download</a>
<a href="http://yourname.com/?download=/2014/08/video.mp4" class="resurrect-button">Download</a>
Other themes may have a button class for links as well.
