The files are WMA files, which is standard Windows Media Audio format, and will play on any computer and almost any mp3 player.

If you want to be able to listen on the move then you will need to download the WMA files, but you can then use my droaning voice to put yourself to sleep in any environment and on any occasion, or scare away threatening wildlife.

Let the listener be warned!! There is no guarantee that you won't feel robbed of a portion of your life after using these resources. On the other hand, you may feel a whole heap better about yourself after listening to the products of my brain, heart and mouth. Compared to him, you may say, I am sane, balanced and practically flawless. Time for a celebration! Chocolate or vanilla? 

It might help you to understand a bit about the way that I preach, and the pattern of my preaching. I have borrowed the following from the webpage of a friend, Barry, whose preaching both embraces and penetrates. I find myself in the same place as he describes. Barry's blog is on my links page.....

"I was thinking about my sermon  this morning, and wondering whether people realise that this morning’s sermon is for me just a piece of a larger puzzle.
I work hard to ensure that the things I said this morning are consistent and compatible with the things I said last week and last year. I see myself slowly building a comprehensive picture of life, as God (in Jesus) calls me into it.
I’m not saying you won’t be able to pick holes in my consistency. In fact, the clearest problem with this desire for consistency occurs when I realise I am wrong and have to change my perspective or understanding… that means that things I said today may indeed be inconsistent with things I said last year.

But i wonder if some people go to church each week and expect a piece of something. One week they hear a sermon on gratitude, the next on forgiveness.
Each sermon may be like a puzzle piece, but does it seem like the pieces are part of different puzzles or is it clear that each sermon is a part of a greater message that makes up a consistent and coherent whole?

In this sense, seeking out a systematic theology - a theology (talk about God) that hangs together and has a general consistency and coherence - is certainly something I would support. Actually, more than support - every sermon, week after week, is my piece-by-piece contribution to a “systematic theology”. I really do think that my sermons will best be grasped in that light!

p.s. Two obvious consequences of that then:

1 - To really “get” my sermons, one would need to listen regularly, in order to see the bigger picture that all the puzzle pieces are part of… (and obviously that picture is not my own, but very hopefully the gospel picture!) The point is that my sermons are not primarily “single episodes” teaching moral lessons (get one when you need a boost). Rather, they are a slow journey toward a new way of seeing, feeling, touching, being…

2 - This kind of approach to listening and participating in “God-talk” means that it is primarily done in the context of regular worship - and a regular worshipping community. Going to church is not so much about pleasing God but rather an active participation in a learning, growing, expanding, seeing community! (which I’m sure pleases God!)
