Greetings All,
I have struggled over my years of preaching to figure out how to maintain a recorded file of my sermons and how I can make them available to shut ins, friends and family away from my church. At last the struggle has come to fruition and I have figured out how to not only record but also archive and make them available to all over this blog. Below you will find links by date to the pages that contain an embedded audio file of each weeks sermon. Click on the link and then click on the player and you can listen to it straight from the blog. If you would like to download it to your computer, click on the title of the post and it will take you to http://www.archive.org/ where the actual file is stored and you can download it directly to your computer and burn it to a CD if you so desire.

About Me
- Faron
- I am a husband, father/stepfather of six, and a second career pastor. Historically I love to read, but I have recently discovered a love for writing. I have experienced the transforming power of the love of God and my joy in life is to help others discover His hope and healing. Sometimes it is preaching, sometimes it is writing, but always it is sitting down over coffee and sharing life.
