Sermon Audio Library
March 5 through September 3, 2006
Want to hear an inspirational message without coming to church?  Want to hear a favorite message again?  Then this page is for you!  We're recording all of our sermons (or whatever takes place during that time slot in the service),  and making them available to you here.  All you need is a sound card or chip, speakers or headphones, and a sound plug-in like WinAmp – available for free from www.winamp.com -- or QuickTime.  The AAC and MP4 files sound the best; the MP3 files are here in case you need MP3 for your portable music player; and the DialUp files (which don't sound as pretty as the others, but are fully intelligible) are here in case you don't have a broadband connection and need a quicker download.

If you have problems playing this audio, please download the latest version of WinAmp from www.winamp.com and install it.  If that doesn't solve your problem, please send us an email, and we'll try to help.  We'd also like to hear what you think of these recordings, and we especially appreciate constructive suggestions.  Thanks for listening!

Sometimes coming to church is a struggle, or maybe we even want to quit.  But where else will we go?  Jesus has the keys to eternal life.  Sometimes His values seem stupid or crazy in the world'e eyes, so we try to soften the message.  Yet we must embrace the hard words along with the easy.  This is the challenge for all who believe.
