I hope you will enjoy these sermons.  It is a privilege to offer them to you.  Please note, however, that the podcast of a sermon will not be the same as the posted manuscript.  Although I usually prepare sermon texts of some sort, I rarely preach from them.  Accordingly, what you hear will reflect not only the obvious fact that I talk differently than I write, but also the more subtle reality that what I say will have been influenced by what someone told me before the service, or how the reading sounded to me as I heard it again, or the way people responded to something I said (or didn’t say) while I was talking.  The good news is that, every now and then, I can detect the work of the Spirit in these differences!
