I just bought an mp3 player and an FM transmitter so I could listen to sermons in the car. While I figure out how to work them, I thought I'd ask for sermon suggestions. What sermon or sermon series have you listened to (or preached) that fits the category - "You've just GOTTA hear this sermon".

Thanks, everybody, for your suggestions thus far -

If you ever want a good challenge, try going to the list of sermons for Dale Ralph Davis or Dr. Ian R. K. Paisley and choosing just one from each list. I did it, and I think I made good choices, but it was challenging, for sure!

I haven't tested the FM transmitter out yet, but the Belkin Transmitter I bought has a site that helps you choose the best FM frequency to use for a given zip code. We'll see how well they did.
I couldn't find the mp3 for this (the link is to a video of the sermon). From the description, looks like a good, practical sermon.

Chuck Vuolo at sermonaudio.com has done an excellent series on "How God Guides us". There are just over a dozen sermons in the series and they are excellent. http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=390417324

Should they ever appear in print I will pre-order the book. I started transcribing the second sermon but ran out of steam.

Chuck in these sermons is spot on, with a wonderful mastery of the scriptures. If anyone else has transcripts please PM me.

i would go to sermonaudio.com and listen to Voddie Baucham (especially a sermon called "table of nations") and also listen to Paul Washer.
the great thing about sermon audio is that you can search for subjects, specific speakers and specific books of the bible.
have fun!

Might just be a server problem. Works ok for me.

-----Added 9/14/2009 at 08:03:16 EST-----

I really appreciate all the responses. With all the excellent sermons to choose from, now I've got the challenging task of deciding which to listen to first, second, third etc. (look at all the suggestions, and tell me its an easy task).

I was blessed to hear a sermon yesterday that I would instantly put into this category. It was by Brian Dempsey on the dangerous consequences of ungodly decisions (based upon Lot in Gen 13, 18, 19). Exceptional!

You should be able to find it here or here when it becomes available in the next week or so.

i agree with Pastor Ivan... it is amazing what we have access to today.
i have the ability to enjoy a couple sermons a day while i work
but i think this access has it's downside as well.
maybe this is a discussion for a different thread...

I listened to part of this on the way to work this morning. Interesting sermon introduction! My ride to work is around 20 minutes and for the first 19 minutes or so I noticed he was just quoting from the scriptures, without adding in his thoughts. I thought that was an interesting way to do a sermon and tried (unsuccessfully) to follow his train of thought. I found out after around 19 minutes, as I was driving into the parking lot, that he'd been quoting those passages from memory. At that point he started speaking of the importance of scripture memory. Now that I've heard the introduction, I look forward to hearing the rest.

Anything Paul Washer, Art Azurdia, or Al Martin. To be more specific if you just want a few from each: Washer's Ten Indictments Against the Church, Azurdia's Vitality of the Spirit and Revelation series, and Martin's Warning to Professing Christians

"The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation." - C.H. Spurgeon

it's just that there are some truths of God, conveyed in sermons, that should cause us to reflect, rejoice, mourn, even tremble... but i admit that there are times when i yawn.
i know that sounds horrible... here is a trite example: it's like when you reminis about those old episodes of "lost in space" .i remember waiting, watching for the weekly episode to finally come on. (especially cliff hangers!)
now i own the DVD's and never watch them. i guess the warning here is to not become complacent about these things... and that nothing can ever replace meeting on the Lord's day to hear a godly preacher expound the Word of God
does this make any sense?

Have you considered an audiobook?,There is a great version of my favorite book (next to my NASB/ESV) "The Sovereignty of God" by A.W Pink,They did a real nice job with it and yes,it's the unabridged/unedited version,I am currently listening to an audiobook version of "The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination" by Loraine Boettner-(another life changing book!)

Here's the link and if I recall you can order Pink's book from itunes as a easy download for about 10 bucks and Boettner's which is a bit more raw in audio quality is free from SermonAudio (a tremendous resource)
A.W. Pink: The Sovereignty of God (audio book, MP3, CD) - christianaudio.com

Anything by my pastor is excellent. We are a very fortunate congregation. River Hills Community Church--Janesville, WI

Actually, if you're only going to listen to one sermon of his, listen to his"Joyous Grief" sermon about God's sovereignty and suffering. It's probably his trademark sermon. Go to the page that lists our pastors and you'll see it.
