A Couple of Great Listens

I have one of the coolest bosses in the world. Who else out there has a boss who finds awesome sermons online and all kinds of other cool resources and points them out to his team?

Richard finds treasures, and I listened to two this past week that were great. They are both from John Piper's website, Desiring God, and are messages that were part of the 2006 Desiring God National Conference. I could go on and on about how great I thought these were, particularly the one by Mark Driscoll, but it's a little like buying everyone you know a copy of a book that rocked your world when not everyone you know is in the same place of heart or experience you are. Some will like, some won't, but most will ignore.

But I can at least share. I think some of you would really dig the messages. Download 'em, burn 'em on CDs, and listen in your car if you don't want to plant yourself at the computer to listen. I think you'll be glad you did. If you haven't had some churchin' in a while, this is a great way to get excited again about Jesus, and if you have any sense of humor at all and pay attention in any way to our modern culture, you will laugh often. But be warned--these are not your average, sleepy Sunday, God-make-me-more-comfortable sermons.

And seriously, don't let the titles of the messages scare ya. I almost didn't put them on here, but you'll see them when you get to the link anyway. The titles sound super-lofty, but these are really accessible, especially the Driscoll one. The Baucham one is a little headier, but some of you will eat that up.

Be blessed and loved. Man, we serve and follow and LOVE the most extraordinary God! Hallelujah!
